Have you heard of the whisper effect? So many businesses are not aware of this.

Diversity means a lot when it touches you personally. It doesn't strictly mean that you need to be one to know one... Without entering into personal details, I have seen many individuals reaching out their true potential and being fully recognised once they felt welcomed and accepted. Diversity is about creating an environment where everyone feels respected and valued for who they are, regardless of their background, identity, or experiences. When people feel safe and supported, they are more likely to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.

An excellent article from the Harvard Business Review focused on the benefits corporations reap when we demonstrate authentic support for the LGBTQIA+ community, even through instances when our governments fail to protect us. #GenZ and #GenAlpha are watching us now. It’s our moment to show who we are and what matters to us. #TalentAttraction #Inclusion #Belonging #Engagement #Performance #Retention

As we approach IDAHOBLIT and PRIDE month, I’m asking schools and EYFS settings, “Why does teamwork matter when leading on LGBTQ+ inclusion?” It’s often assumed this work can be left to one person… One person to manage, to organise, to chase, to orchestrate the whole thing! BUT #diversityequityinclusion is about shared values and whole school culture. It needs to be ‘owned’ by every member of staff. It’s not a one person role. Build a team that: - represents each key stage - draws upon a range of roles within your school - includes senior leaders and support staff Make it a team of at least 3… 3 x the energy 3 x the ideas 3 x as effective If you need support leading LGBTQ+ inclusion in your school or EYFS setting, get in touch with GAEd at: www.gaedschoolsuk contact me at: ga.ed.schools.uk@gmail.com or DM me #headteachers #schoolleadership #diversityequityinclusion #primaryeducation #lgbtqinclusion #earlyyearseducation
