Finding leadership gold at the end of your rainbow

The Proud Science Alliance is sponsoring a series of virtual sessions that will focus on the leadership experience of people who identify as LGBTQ+. The session facilitators aim to build confidence in attendees’ leadership approach and capability while also building confidence to integrate their LGBTQ+ identity as part of their leadership brand.

Leadership Series Summary Overview

The leadership series is a set of four virtual sessions specifically created for employees in the healthcare and life sciences sector who identify as LGBTQ+ and want to focus on their leadership approach and capability. None of the sessions aim to replicate leadership training available to many of us inside our organisations, but instead compliment what you might gain from those and other formal leadership courses. Because the LGBT+ experience at work is often different, even when it comes to leadership, we wanted to acknowledge this and create space to address it in a very practical way. Sessions will be designed and facilitated by a team from the Proud Science Alliance and will feature invited guests.

Session Summary

We will explore some concepts such as role modelling and leading from the front, middle and behind. We will talk about standing up for ourselves by owning our identity and how this contributes to our delivery and abilities.

Projected Outcomes

Attendees understand what a role model is and decide for themselves if they want to actively step into that role with their understanding of what it means. Attendees understand what it means to both stand up (state an opinion, speak out) and stand out (take action, lead) and decide for themselves how they want to do both of these things.
