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

A great service to business…and society
I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you and attending your session. Afterward, I ran to the conference bookstore and grabbed the last copy of your book! When I return to the office, I am expecting to have a robust conversation with some of my team. I know that what you are doing is a great service not only to the business world but also to society, especially in the current climate.
