At Gaingels, we're passionate about fostering diversity and inclusion, especially in corporate leadership. Did you know that LGBTQ+ individuals represent less than 0.8% of Fortune 500 Boards and 1.2% of NASDAQ seats? Formed in June 2022, our partner, the Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors is leading the charge to amplify LGBTQ+ voices in the boardroom. Their mission? To provide support, services, and networking opportunities for LGBTQ+ existing and aspiring Board Members. 🚀 Join Fabrice C Houdart for an enlightening conversation tomorrow with a webinar, where he'll explore vital questions: Why isn't there greater diversity on boards? What does it take to join one? Why should you consider a corporate board role? And what do corporate directors actually do? 💼 #LGBTQ+ #BoardDiversity #Inclusion https://lnkd.in/dNK8UP_M

Crowley's business resource group, Stronger Together, has shared this course as a way to support leadership development. So I thought I would share it with my network, too.

Key takeaways from the breakout session, LGBTQ+ inclusion and the nuances of self-identification, at Avtar and Seramount’s 2023 Best of the Best Conference: 1) A self-ID program helps people to self-identify themselves.  2) Pronouns are small sets of words that are incredibly important. The use of pronouns makes the world more inclusive. 3) There are self-paced programs to learn more about LGBTQ, with senior leaders leading these teams.

Thank you @diversitycommmedia for including me in this important conversation about reconsidering executive presence and LGBTQ+ leaders. "The truth is, LGBTQ+ professionals probably won’t see themselves in the old professional development books about “executive presence.” I sure didn’t. But today, things are looking a lot brighter. There are LGBTQ+ leaders blazing trails as role models for the generations now entering the workforce. What I and many others used to expect from the “executive” is changing, and we get to be a part of that change." ➡ What do you think leaders can do to reconsider executive presence to be more inclusive?
