Lead at Any Level®

Essential Skills for Inclusive Leaders

Out and Outstanding Program Banner

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
