Join us for another Space for Dialogue. ❤️👇🏽 On the 4th November we'll be hosting a community space space dedicated to supporting Queer individuals, communities and allies grappling with feelings of powerlessness in the face of war and genocide. This online event will provide tools for navigating solidarity and powerlessness during these critical times, with participants led through grounding exercises, breakout groups and a conversation between Cindy Nehme and Jon-Paul Vicari. This session is open to everyone but will centre voices and stories from people with ties to impacted regions. Allies are welcome to attend to listen to shared lived experiences and will be invited to an alternative breakout space following the conversation. Let’s share experiences, explore coping strategies, and strengthen community bonds together. 🫂 🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eUF2npqj #LGBTProfessionals #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare

Your #LGBTQ+ employees are an untapped reservoir of leadership talent. 🏳️🌈 There is an increasing demand for diverse talent and inclusive leadership, with the unique perspectives and experiences of LGBTQ+ professionals becoming increasingly valuable... yet they remain underrepresented in leadership roles. Did you know? 💡 Only 0.4% of board seats in Fortune 500 companies are held by openly LGBTQ+ directors. 💡 In the tech sector, only 2-3% of the workforce identifies as LGBTQ+. This underrepresentation isn't just a matter of equity: it's a missed opportunity for businesses. LGBTQ+ leaders create more innovative and inclusive workplace cultures and are extremely valuable when serving diverse customer bases. 📈 In our new report we examine the barriers holding back LGBTQ+ leaders and provide 5 solutions you can act on today to help LGBTQ+ talent thrive in your business. 💻 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eEFV6Yx9 #DEI #InclusiveLeadership #TalentDevelopment
