Today we celebrate International Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience. The day effectively raises visibility to the significant barriers transgender & non-binary people endure in all aspects of our daily lives; however, TDOR alone is not a panacea to dismantle them. Complimenting the day, we need more cisgender allies, accomplices, and champions committed to doing the day-to-day work required to improve the lives and well-being of our communities. This blog post offers more background about TDOR, and encourages you to consider what more you can do to support transgender & non-binary people.

Coming out on the job remains an extremely complicated matter. Without a consistent federal law prohibiting LGBTQ workplace discrimination, it’s no wonder that more than half - or 53% - of LGBTQ workers remains closeted at work. This post offers strategies to first consider before coming out on the job. If after reading this post, you would like to receive additional support, consider scheduling a 1:1 coaching call with me where we will explore your motivations to come out, and weigh all the factors before taking action.

On Thursday, September 22 at 2pm Eastern Time/11 am Pacific Time, I’ll be hosting my consultancy’s first webinar entitled Engaging LGBTQ Employees for executives, HR, and diversity professionals. During this one-hour Q&A conversation, participants will be encouraged to share their ideas, challenges, and solutions to help recruit, retain, and develop top LGBTQ diversity candidates for businesses, organizations, and government agencies.
