Program Description
Employees need to bring their full selves to work if they are to contribute at the highest levels. Perhaps you’ve already created Resource Groups or a Diversity Council to provide a sense of community and safety for underrepresented employees. Even so, most companies’ LGBTQ professionals are still holding back, struggling to present themselves authentically, and leaving trust (and talent) on the table.
Out and Outstanding is a unique leadership development program designed to enhance the abilities of your corporation’s LGBTQ professionals to contribute and lead. Together, we’ll uncover hidden leadership strengths of your LGBTQ work force, build a trusting and supportive professional cohort, and empower your leaders to tackle new, more complex and demanding assignments that have greater impact on your bottom line.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how their LGBTQ identity shapes their workplace identity as well as their leadership style
- Identify and leverage their unique leadership strengths individually and in teams
- Articulate a personal brand statement that effectively communicates who they are and what they are about
- Strengthen and diversify their professional network inside and outside your company
- Explore resilience strategies through emotional intelligence
- Develop the next-level communication skills required for authentic leadership
target audience
Out and Outstanding’s core leadership curriculum can be tailored to a variety of LGBTQ cohorts within your company including:
- Emerging and Mid-level LGBTQ managers with potential to grow
- Leaders of LGBTQ Employee Resource Groups, Business Resource Groups, or Staff Networks
program options
- On-site: 1 to 4 days (days may be consecutive or spread over a fiscal quarter)
- Off-site retreat: 2 to 4 consecutive days
Our LGBTQ Leaders Master Class is a two-day offsite immersion course offered to employees who have completed the core curriculum
optional post-program support
- Goal setting and accountability sessions
- Train-the-trainer programs
- LGBTQ content subscriptions
- Individual and small-group coaching

Phenomenal!
Amy was phenomenal! Her program resonated with our attendees and she knocked it out of the park. We loved that she participated in the conference as well before and after her speech. Not a lot of keynote speakers do that.

Practical Action Items
I have attended many conferences tackling similar concepts but haven't ever walked away with as many practical action items. Amy has passion and insight that are clearly displayed throughout her session. I find her to be incredibly approachable and able to respond to the very specific challenges that my team and organization are facing. I would highly recommend Amy if you are looking for an expert who can help your organization embrace diversity and inclusion.

Productive, empathetic, and Effective
Amy is one of the most productive people I have had the pleasure of working with. She believes deeply in what she does, has the wisdom and empathy necessary to meet people where they are and the humility to be approachable and make everyone feel at ease, even as she's helping them dispense with outdated thinking and misperceptions that, while sometimes deeply held, do neither them or anyone else any good.

Among the Very Best Expert-Consultants
My association with Amy Waninger has grown from a virtual "cold call" a year ago to a strong and multi-faceted partnership. Today, among her other responsibilities, Amy is a faculty member of NextGen Leaders, an organization I founded that provides leadership development support to LGBTQ professionals. Amy is among the very best of the new generation of expert-consultants in the Diversity & Inclusion and Leadership Development spaces.

Committed and Effective
Her expertise, her decades' long experience in a Fortune 500 company and her personal commitment to equality and inclusion are a potent combination. Together they create an excellent platform for Amy to exercise her considerable creative talents, whether in front of an audience, coaching an individual, consulting for a management team or writing her next book. That sounds like a lot, and I don't know many people who can effectively pull all of that together in a sustained way.
