Leadership Fundamentals for LGBTQ+ Groups
LGBTQ+ groups often face demeaning microaggressions at work, including offensive comments, invasive personal questions, or exclusion from events and meetings. This playlist is for any LGBTQ+ individual who is impacted by the biases that women face, and features research-backed, actionable steps you can take to combat these biases. Each video is accompanied by a guide specific to the experiences of LGBTQ+ groups. The guide helps you discuss with your peers how best to navigate these challenges and thrive at work.

Assertiveness is an essential leadership trait. But bias makes this challenging for women to navigate, as a majority of women receive negative feedback when they are assertive. In this video, we provide advice on how you can strategically assert yourself to show strong leadership skills without being penalized for it. By focusing on shared goals and demonstrating empathy, you can lead in a way that inspires and brings out the best in everyone.
Each playlist is 7-to-9 months of curated content for women with shared experiences, career stages, or skill-building goals. We provide a kickoff guide to set the stage for your first Circle meeting, custom discussion guides for each video, and a Looking Back and Next Steps Guide after you complete the playlist (which is coming soon).
