Mentorship matters… Offer your support and guidance to LGBTQ+ individuals in your community or workplace. Mentorship can help individuals navigate their careers, build confidence, and achieve their goals. By sharing your experience and expertise, you can make a significant impact on someone’s professional and personal development. Programs like Out Leadership’s "Quorum" and Mentor’s LGBTQ+ mentoring initiatives can help connect mentors with those in need of guidance. #PrideMonth #Mentorship #SupportGrowth #DiversityandInclusionMatter

The following is what a Director of Academics shared with us about why their school wanted to contract/partner with History UnErased: "We decide what we teach as carefully as we consider how it should be taught. As educators, we believe it is our responsibility to create classroom spaces that address both the current events and the historical topics that directly impact the lives of our community members. We do this because we believe that shying away from “controversial” or “divisive” topics like LGBTQ history would actively cause both intellectual and social-emotional harm to our entire community, but especially our most politically, economically, and socially vulnerable members. We believe that as educators, we carry the immense responsibility of teaching these topics in a way that focuses on the facts while simultaneously affirming the identities and beliefs of all students." #lgbtq #historyunerased #visibilitymatters #k12education #history #civics #socialstudies

Join me for a much needed FREE webinar on how educators can support LGBTQ+ students in an environment where safer and braver spaces are being prohibited and rescinded! Please share with your networks!

The most critical space for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace are schools. Most LGBTQ+ bullying starts in schools, social norms are learnt at schools and students find their agency and voice as budding adults at schools. If your child is old enough to tease and traumatise another child, they are likely old enough to learn about LGBTQ+ inclusion. Schools also need LGBTQ+ teachers. Normalisation requires role models and representation. If you fear that learning about LGBTQ+ community is going to confuse your child, you may perhaps need some of that education yourself. #PRIDE #lgbtq #inclusion

I am thrilled! The book has won the its second award, this time from the Independent Press. “Leadership wisdom need not come from ‘On high.’ It exists in the fierce spaces where LGBTQ+ fight for their liberation every single day.” Check out the book to learn more #lgbt #leadershipdevelopment #leadership #lgbtq #growthmindset #author #writer

One way I'm celebrating PRIDE month is to spend some time ensuring that my knowledge of this evolving topic is up to date. If you're looking to do the same, watch this course:  https://lnkd.in/ge3KUKkW #lgbtq #allyship.

Mid-year is always an important time to assess the impact of your DEIB and LGBTQ+ initiatives. Use this time to reflect on your efforts so far and if you need to make any adjustments to meet your goals. Before planning new strategies, take a closer look at how your current DEIB initiatives are doing. Here are a few things to consider: ✔️ If your data or feedback is lacking, prioritize setting clear KPIs. ✔️ Conduct informal focus groups within the company to get a sense of what is working and what is not. ✔️Ask your team direction for their input on how your initiatives are being received. Using this information, look for any gaps in your initiatives and continue to build on what is working well. How are your DEIB initiatives going so far? #DEIB #LGBTQ #LGBTQCoach #LeadershipCoach #ERG #Belonging
