A virtual pride parade at work! Brilliant! Ilene Duhan and everyone InContext Solutions organized a fun and impactful event. I was honored to be part of it by facilitating my mini-workshop, "You Don't Act Gay and Other Microaggressions to Address at Work". In 20 minutes we covered: 🏳️🌈 Examples of common microaggressions that happen at work 🏳️🌈 Tips to make speaking up less awkward if you are on the receiving end of a microaggression 🏳️🌈 Tips to recover with grace if you inadvertently commit a microaggression Paying attention to the subtle and unintentional comments and behaviors that detract from a sense of belonging at work is so important, especially for organizations who want to make their great workplace cultures best in class! This is a great topic during Pride month and beyond. Comment "YES" below if you'd like to learn more about this workshop.

Think Black lives matter v All lives matter 🤮 If we focus on women, we must not care about any other genders. If we talk about disability, you must not care about the LGBTQIA+ community. 💅 In reality, a number of us are more than one identity and we all hold them differently. 🤗 Intersectionality is the answer. Its requires us to be okay with focusing on specific identities and then being able to zoom out to see that a person is very rarely one characteristic. 🏎️ I would like to say it’s simple, but it’s as complex as people are. 😎 If we want to make it simple, ask people to be simple…. #blacklivesmatter #blm #lgbtq #women #allies #intersectionality #blackintech #blackfounder #changemanagement #buildingteams Beetroot Consulting Ltd

Over-Organizing is the term I use to describe organizing using an excessive number of plastic containers, ridiculous and unhelpful color-coding, and using all the space available making future additions and changes difficult. It needs to stop! www.cleanandqueer.com #queer #lgbtq #overorganizing #homeorganization #professionalorganizer #kitchenorganization

Indivisible is a powerful word.

#Pride month across the corporate world needs to be a moment where companies demonstrate that we walk the walk as well as talk the talk on #LGBT+ #inclusion. It has to be more that great events and new logos. So it is great to see Clifford Chance being named the top organisation by Windō in their transparency analysis. Windo have been working with Out & Equal on the metrics. Transparency is utterly essential for advancing inclusion for #LGBTQ+ people. We are an invisible population group (except when we step out of course!) so transparency by our employers is key to creating visibility, raising awareness, measuring success and also sending a clear message to #lgbt+ people that we are seen and valued in our workplaces. The metric also allows us to see even when we are doing well there is more to do and we need to use moments like this as a springboard to more action rather than just taking a bow. Plus it is always nice to win things! You can check out the full list and the other brilliant firms working hard on this here https://lnkd.in/deQG3C8w

🏳️🌈 What is rainbow washing? It’s where an organization suggests to customers and consumers that they are actively supporting the LGBTQIA+ community without any tangible outcomes for their queer community. 🏳️🌈 How can you avoid it?
