LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Workshops for Leaders
Goodwill isn't the problem. Most leaders want to get this right. What's missing is knowing where their decisions shape LGBTIQA+ people's experience at work, and what to do about it.
These are practical, tailored workshops that turn good intentions into action.
What is the
LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Workshop for Leaders?
A practical workshop for leaders enabling them to create safe, supportive and inclusive environments for LGBTIQA+ staff, clients, and stakeholders. It builds understanding of how LGBTIQA+ people experience workplaces, and then focuses on the decisions, processes and team practices leaders control. The outcome is clear, practical next steps for each leader in the room.
Understanding LGBTIQA+ Experiences at Work
Build confident, current understanding of LGBTIQA+ identities and language
Understand what research tells us about LGBTIQA+ people's experiences at work
Recognise how sexuality and gender intersect with race, disability, age and culture
Understand the role of family and community for LGBTIQA+ people, and why workplaces matter in that
Where Systems Fall Short
Shift focus from individual attitudes to the structures that shape inclusion
Identify where exclusion shows up in everyday systems, from forms and data to leave, facilities and dress codes
Understand the specific barriers trans and gender diverse people face at work
Apply an LGBTIQA+ inclusion lens to recruitment, promotion and the processes you own
Leading the Change
Know how to respond when things go wrong, including misgendering or a comment that lands badly
Support staff who are coming out or affirming their gender, and protect confidentiality around their identities and experiences
Create visibility and safety with clients, peers and at events, in ways that are credible, not performative
Respond to backlash and genuine concerns with confidence, without stepping back from your commitments
What your leaders will gain
Clear understanding of how LGBTIQA+ people experience work
The ability to spot where systems quietly exclude
Confidence to respond well when things go wrong
Steadiness to handle backlash without backing down
Clear actions for their own
team and area
I’ve done a lot of diversity and inclusion workshops before and usually I walk away feeling a bit accused or condemned. With Bree it was completely different. They asked the hard questions and pushed us to reflect, but did it in a way that felt safe and supportive. It was the first time I left one of these sessions actually energised and wanting more. I’d love for my whole team to do this with Bree.
