UNLEASH YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL

The LGBTQ+ Authentic Leaders program is a 6-month transformational leadership experience specifically designed for LGBTQ+ individuals. The Program takes LGBTQ+ people on a journey of self-discovery towards self-authority.

Participants are called into their unique, individual flavor of leadership — leading themselves, their teams, and the impactful work they do.

When you join us, you will powerfully connect with and contribute to a diverse, intimate group of like-valued people — all committed to your personal development and professional actualisations.

WHERE ARE ALL THE LGBTQ+ LEADERS?

LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace has improved drastically in the last decade. Diversity strategies and employee networks support more people than ever to come out at work.

So why hasn’t a healthier workplace environment translated into more LGBTQ+ people in leadership positions?

Over the last six years, the Authentic Leaders Program has immersed itself in the lives of talented LGBTQ+ leaders at world-leading organisations. And we’ve discovered something truly fascinating:

Growing up in a society that creates barriers for LGBTQ+ people directly impacts these high-performing leaders more than they realize.

A majority of our graduates discover that a lack of early acceptance and belonging hurt their confidence. They tried to silence their self-doubt through what we call the 3 Ps: perfectionism, people-pleasing and pretending.

While the 3 Ps often accelerate early career progress, they inhibit long-term performance. They enable institutional barriers that work silently against LGBTQ+ people from the inside out.

The Authentic Leaders Program provides the insight, inspiration and community necessary to empower brilliant LGBTQ+ talent to unleash their full potential.

THE AUTHENTIC LEADERS PROGRAM, EXPLAINED

We recognise that everyone’s path through the LGBTQ+ Authentic Leaders Program is unique. You’ll be able to chart your own course. You’ll discover your core values. And crucially, you’ll learn how to actively use them as a compass in your leadership and your life.

Every week, you’ll be challenged to take bold steps informed by your values — even when doing so is challenging, scary or seemingly inconvenient.

Staying true to your values places your leadership journey on an exponentially growing path. By the end of the Program, you’ll dramatically revise your sense of what’s possible for you. Your life will be changed for the better — and you will be, too.
