ARTICLE WORTH READING! On Forbes, “Three Types Of Leadership To Explore For Your Team” In today's ever-changing world, effective leadership isn't just about leading and inspiring others; it's also about knowing yourself inside out. Leaders need to navigate their conscious and unconscious thoughts to create a culture of openness and inclusivity. SPOILER ALERT! The three types of leadership described in this article are EXACTLY the ones covered in both “Pride Leadership” and our online LGBTQ+ leadership program, “Pride Leadership: The L.I.O.N.S. Program”! https://lnkd.in/e69pV-qA #lgbtqa #diversity #inclusion #thegayleadershipdude #leadership

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Please join us next week on July 24, 2024, at 12pm EST/9am PST for our first monthly LGBTQ+ leadership roundtable. The Queer Leaders Lens will help you attend to your personal growth, transform your communities and families, and accelerate your career using Queer Leadership Principles. You may be thinking: I am not a leader, so will this apply to me? Everyone is a leader. The question is: are you an effective leader or a de-motivating leader? Are you a positive leader or a negative leader? The roundtables will use my book - “The Souls of Queer Folk: How Understanding LGBTQ+ Cultural Values Can Transform Your Leadership Practice” as a theoretical underpinning. However, the series will have a much broader focus and a much broader application than your”9 to 5.” Leadership isn’t just a business orientation. It is a way of LIFE. This community is for ALL members of our community, particularly those who are underrepresented in mainstream LGBTQ+ circles. We welcome our cis-hetero allies and will cultivate safe space for everyone. Please find the link in the comments to register. We are limiting size to 50 people so please sign up while space is still left! In gratitude…. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #lgbtq #lgbtq #coaching #growthmindset #queer

As a leadership coach and experienced C-level executive, this is my favorite tool for gathering information when something isn’t working at work. It’s called the listening tour. I wrote about how to conduct a listening tour in this article → https://buff.ly/42pDdVi for Harvard Business Review. Listening tours are great for: ▪️ Increasing your confidence if you have a new assignment ▪️ Building relationships with stakeholders ▪️ Fast-tracking your knowledge on a topic. I help rising leaders of color and LGBTQ managers get, keep, and thrive in senior-level jobs. If you would like to be coached one-on-one or are interested in my workshops, book a call with me here → https://buff.ly/4iIaYqi #JahnaBerry #ExecutiveCoaching #DiverseLeadership #CLevelCareerGrowth #ListeningTour

#LGBTQ+ folk make great leaders, so why aren't you upskilling them? 🏳️🌈📢 Growing up as a Queer person in a heteronormative world can be challenging, but it also equips us with unique strengths that make us great leaders - compassion, authenticity, resolve and resilience just to name a few. 🌱 If you're LGBTQ+ you may not fit the traditional mould of what a leader looks like, and so may find yourself passed over for development opportunities where you would thrive if given the chance. This is why leadership training programmes are so essential to bring about the next generation of Queer Leaders. 💪🏻 At We Create Space we're passionate about empowering Queer people to take up space as leaders of the future, so we've compiled a list of our top 10 training programmes you can use to develop the skills of up and coming LGBTQ+ leaders in your business.
