In this week’s episode, we're breaking the silence and celebrating LGBTQ+ voices at work. I’m joined by two incredible guests, Matt Haworth and Claire Ebrey, the powerhouse duo behind Pride in Leadership, an organisation committed to empowering LGBTQ+ professionals to step up as leaders without fear of bias or discrimination.

Matt and Claire share how their mission is creating safe, inclusive spaces where LGBTQ+ professionals can thrive, offering mentorship, training, and a vibrant community.

We’ll unpack some of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace and discuss practical ways to foster inclusivity. We also touch on generational shifts, intersectionality, and how to be an ally in meaningful ways.

Whether you're an LGBTQ+ professional or looking to make your organisation more inclusive, this episode offers a candid, insightful look at why diversity matters and how we can all contribute to a more equitable workplace.
