Being LGBTQ+ at work can mean juggling a lot... When to speak up, who to trust, how much to share, and what to do if something goes sideways. This course is here to help you think through all of it, with tools that are practical, honest, and grounded in real experience, regardless of your experience level.
We’ll talk through the moments no one really prepares you for — like handling microaggressions, deciding whether (and how) to come out, or figuring out if your workplace is actually safe or supportive. You'll also get space to reflect on what you want from your work life — not just how to survive it, but how to build something that works for you.
We’ll cover things like:
Reading the room: How ready is your workplace for you to be out?
Tips for navigating tricky conversations — from coworkers, managers, or even clients
How to manage bias, pushback, or just plain awkward moments
Building your own version of community, safety, and success at work
LGBTQ+ history and hard truths — the stuff that got us here, and why it still matters
If you're tired of vague advice and just want something that feels real, you're in the right place.
