As part of our commitment to developing our membership, we offer a range of external events to empower employees to take positive action to address the underrepresented, and bring this back to develop and impact our community.
The Stonewall one-day LGBT Role Models programme gives individuals the opportunity to explore what it means to be a role model and the space to identify how they are going to create an inclusive environment for everyone. You will get insights on practical ways to step up as an LGBT role model, how to increase motivation and confidence to be a visible and influential role model. You will be provided with various networking opportunities throughout the programme.
The Stonewall LGBTQ+ leadership programme is externally delivered by Stonewall and is an intensive two-day residential, which offers an opportunity to reflect on how your identity as an LGBTQ+ person has had an impact on your leadership journey. It will help you understand what it means to be an authentic and inclusive leader. You will also explore how to be a more visible and inclusive leader. It includes opportunities for professional networking with senior LGBTQ+ leaders.
