All Stay LGBTQ+ Education & Training’s Post

If you're a Queer Professional who seriously wants to become a Queer Leader, then you'll want to take a quick nosey at this 👇🏼 You see, to this date, I've helped more than 1000 LGBTQ+ Professionals, and guess what? None of them had to spend years and years in therapy and coaching. Instead? We focused on: ✅ Defining your goals crystal clear - because if you don't know where you're going, how will you get there? ✅ Understanding what's holding you back - let's tackle those roadblocks head-on. ✅ Grasping your past and the origin of your challenges - no need to dwell, just to understand. ✅ Getting a handle on your present habits and self-talk - because your daily routine can make or break you. ✅ Taking inspired action - because motivation without action is just a daydream. And IF you can stop: ❌ Second-guessing every move you make ❌ Comparing yourself to everyone else’s highlight reel ❌ Waiting for ‘the perfect moment’ to start Then I can promise you'll start seeing incredible progress and real change very soon. Hope this helps. 😘 #mentalhealth #lgbt #lgbtq #transgender #menshealth

They understand the power of an intersectional approach. 🤝✨ Why? Because it's more than just waving rainbow flags; it's about recognizing that each person's experience is unique. 🌟 Different backgrounds, cultures, and identities mean different challenges and triumphs. 🎢 By embracing intersectionality, we're not just supporting one letter of LGBTQ+; we're standing up for every individual within the community. 🚀 So, let's keep advocating, learning, and growing together. 📚🌱 And hey, if you're on this journey of creating more inclusive spaces, check out my book 'OUT OF SPACE: Creating Safe Spaces in Unlikely Places' for some real talk and guidance. 📖💫 Share your thoughts or tag a friend who stands for inclusivity! 🗣️💬 And for more insights, swing by https://lnkd.in/g8aU6uqP 🖥️ #InclusiveLeadership #SafeSpaces #LGBTQAdvocacy 🏳️🌈 Safe spaces can no longer be bound and limited to physical locations, but they must be found and created in each of us, allowing us to transcend the limitations of walls, rooms, and buildings. #Leadership #lgbtq #motivation #inspiration #blessed #time #grateful #juliocroman #safespace #antibullying #speakingup

Here's the quick story (and a powerful takeaway that will change your workplace): My $5 pin, a blend of LGBTQ+ pride and Latino culture, became a conversation starter in the office. 🌈✨ It sparked discussions on inclusivity and representation that we'd never had before. 🗣️💬 This tiny investment reminded me that sometimes, it's the small things that can make the biggest impact. Empowering Latino LGBTQ+ voices means creating a space where everyone feels seen and heard. 🙌 It's about intersectionality, understanding that we all have unique stories and challenges. 🤝 Want to make a change in your workplace?

As a creator, when the platform you work on reaches out to share your work, it's usually a reason for celebration. LinkedIn News spotlighted some of my posts for Pride month, awesome right?! But also, as anyone with an internet presence will know, larger reach means more chances that someone may decide to attack your work, especially if you are a member of, or posting about, marginalised communities. Why am I sharing these divisive, angry and frankly untrue comments? Because they remind us of why LGBTQ+ Pride exists. Because this, right here, are the attitudes and ideas which populate parts of the world so readily that those who hold them feel no need to restrain or question the harm they are causing. We have to do better, and we have to keep going. #DEI #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Pride2024

🏳⚧🌈 Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️🌈 As we kick off June, it's a wonderful time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and promote acceptance, love, and respect for all individuals, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. 💗 At the core, we are one human race, united by our shared hopes, dreams, and desire for happiness. Our differences should be embraced and celebrated, not discriminated against or suppressed. 🤝 Let's take this month to educate ourselves, have open and honest conversations, and foster a more inclusive and understanding society. Small acts of kindness, allyship, and standing up against hate can create a ripple effect of positive change. 🌊 Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, let's come together and show our support through actions, not just words. Attend Pride events, support LGBTQ+ businesses and organizations, and most importantly, treat everyone with the dignity and respect they deserve. 💪 Remember, love is love, and we all deserve to live authentically and freely, without fear or judgment. 🧡 Happy Pride, everyone! Let's make this a month (and every month) of acceptance, empathy, and celebration of our beautiful diversity. 🏳️🌈🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Diversity #Acceptance #Respect #LoveIsLove

Oftentimes, we want to be allies, but think there's no one around to support. Well, let's talk numbers for a moment. We're talking about 8-12% of the population that’s part of the LGBTQ+ community or even more, depending on countries and age groups. That's not a small number. Similarly, about 15% of the world's population, which is over 1 billion people, experience some form of disability. Even if you know 10 people, you perhaps know someone who you can be an ally for. Think about it. Maybe you don't know someone personally, but chances are, they're there, just waiting for you to stand up and show support. If you still think, "But I don't know anyone," maybe it's time to expand your circle. Start with your kids and their friends, your neighbors, your friends and their friends, your colleagues, members of groups you're part of, the person seated next to you during your next trip, your therapist, or simply a stranger, and keep going. Most importantly, becoming an ally isn't about finding the perfect person to champion. It's about being able to create a safe space where people automatically feel comfortable to share their experiences and trust you. Looking for a DEI speaker this Pride month or beyond?

Your words can either lift people up or tear them down—what are yours doing? Most of us have good intentions, but good intentions aren’t enough when the impact still harms the people we want to support. Misusing pronouns, deadnaming, or using outdated terms like “homosexual” are not just small mistakes—they’re a big deal, and they hurt. Here’s the harsh truth: inclusivity means doing better, not just meaning well. Let’s break down some common mistakes allies make—and how we can fix them. Ready to stop making these mistakes and start getting it right? The latest MIST carousel dives into how we can all do better. Head to the post and learn how you can truly support your LGBTQ+ colleagues and friends. Let’s get it right. #Inclusion #LGBTQAlly #MistakesToAvoid #DoBetter #Diversity

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month at GS As we kick off Pride Month, it's crucial to recognise both the strides society has made and the ongoing challenges for the LGBTQ+ community globally and here in the UK. Globally, the top challenges include: ·      Discrimination and Violence: Daily threats to safety and well-being. ·      Legal Inequality: Many countries still lack legal protections for LGBTQ+ rights, with some even criminalising same-sex relationships. ·      Healthcare Disparities: Significant barriers to accessing appropriate healthcare. In the UK: While the UK has made significant progress since decriminalising homosexuality in 1967, challenges remain, particularly around trans rights and the rise in hate crimes. Higher rates of mental health issues persist due to discrimination and stigma, with the Black LGBTQ+ community facing even greater disparities. Disabled members of the LGBTQ+ community face unique barriers in accessing mental health services, compounding their marginalisation. Allyship and Advocacy: Pride Month is a time to celebrate, but also to ally with the LGBTQ+ community. Public sector leaders hold immense power in shaping societal norms, thus advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Their allyship sends a strong message of acceptance and inclusion, fostering empathy and encouraging positive changes in policies and legislation. This Pride Month, GS is thrilled to release a series of interviews with inspiring LGBTQ+ societal leaders. Their insights will guide us in building a more inclusive and supportive society. It has been a pleasure to amplify their voices, so please look out for them! Happy Pride!! #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #EDI #DEI #Equality #Inclusion #Allyship #HappyPrideMonth #PrideatGS

Today is National Coming Out Day (NCOD), a day that holds so much significance for the LGBTQ+ community. 🌈 As the chair/co-chair of the RepPride ERG at Reputation, Michael Bowles and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this day, share our own coming out stories, and candidly discuss what today means for us. On NCOD, I am reminded of how important it is to create environments where everyone feels safe, seen, and celebrated. It is why we founded the RepPride ERG last year and continue to celebrate our community in the workplace. Coming out is a deeply personal journey. For some, it may feel empowering and liberating, while for others, it can be daunting and filled with uncertainty. What’s important to remember is that coming out isn’t a one-time event. It’s a lifelong process—one that we navigate each time we enter a new space, meet new people, or find ourselves in unfamiliar situations. Today is important to remember that. #NationalComingOutDay #NCOD #ComingOut #RepPride #LGBTQ #InclusiveWorkplace #BeYourAuthenticSelf #Pride
