Thrive as a leader.
There’s power in understanding; that’s why our Gay, Bisexual and Queer Men’s Leadership Circles are here for you. We build on our shared foundations to help you grow as a person and scale your leadership and business to new heights.
What to Expect:
Each circle is also facilitated by globally credentialed executive coaches. These coaches will be available to answer your specific business questions, but they’ll also conduct leadership training with guided peer coaching and accountability.
Circles are entirely tailored to their participants’ needs, but here are a few examples of commonly explored topics:
Experiences as a gay male leader in 2024
Navigating personal and professional transitions
Moving away from Powerless to Powerful and Navigating the Drama Triangle
Developing a stronger Leadership Mindset
Maximizing your brain’s processing power
Understanding and strengthening Psychological Safety
Planning for goals and accountability
Ready to grow? We’d love to have you join our community.
Notable program elements include:
Growth Through Community: No matter what you face in your professional or personal life, the circles offer a safe space where everyone appreciates who you are and what you want to accomplish.
Actionable Executive Guidance: We believe in community, but as business leaders, we also understand the importance of actionable guidance and measurable results.
Nourish a Leadership Mindset: There’s nothing simple about being a leader, especially for gay men who rarely encounter representative role models in their careers
World-Class Tools and Training: The circles equip you for success by providing training and tools from business veterans. Their toolsets will help you overcome your growth challenges and materialize your business’ true potential.
