LGBTQ+ leaders we're celebrating this Pride month

Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox

Each June, during Pride Month, we take extra time to uplift and celebrate the voices of LGBTQ+ leaders—and this week, we’re doing just that with a special highlight episode.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of speaking with some truly incredible LGBTQ+ changemakers—people who are breaking barriers, driving inclusion, and shaping workplaces where everyone can thrive. From tech to education, coaching to advocacy, these leaders bring powerful stories and actionable wisdom to the table.

Now, let’s revisit some of the most memorable moments and insights from the brilliant LGBTQ+ leaders who have joined me on the show.

Happy Pride—and here’s to building a world where everyone feels seen, safe, and celebrated.
