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.

LGBTQ+ women and other LGBTQ+ individuals impacted by the biases women face often experience microaggressions at work. These can include offensive comments, invasive personal questions, or exclusion from social events. While the burden should not be on LGBTQ+ employees to fix these problems, research shows that speaking up can make you feel more empowered. In this video, we share strategies for the most effective ways to push back against microaggressions, such as practicing self-care, asking questions, and reaching out to others who’ve had similar experiences for validation and support.
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).
