Navigating your career can be a challenge for any professional, but this is especially true for members of the LGBTQ+ Community. From having the courage to be your authentic self in the workplace to shaping your organizational culture to be more inclusive, sometimes balancing your "gay" job with your "day" job can be exhausting!
Now there's help from "The Gay Leadership Dude", Dr. Steve Yacovelli. In Your Queer Career, Dr. Steve draws from his almost 30 year's experiences not just as a queer professional, but through his expertise in leadership and executive development, change management, and diversity and inclusion consulting with some of the world's top brands (such as Disney, IBM, Merck, TD Bank, Bayer, PBS, and many others). He addresses common workplace challenges like how to deal with microaggressions, having a homophobic boss, making Employee Resource Groups more effective, and more using personal anecdotes, a few bad "Dad" jokes, and solid, practical advice. The real questions he's been asked from coaching clients are universal challenges to LGBTQ+ and Ally leaders in today's modern workplace.
Whether you're just starting your career or are further along in your leadership journey, this is the conversational, compelling, and groundbreaking book that will empower both the Queer and Ally Leader in everyone. Dr. Steve guides readers (queer or not) on how to not just survive but thrive in some of the most common workplace situations many of us face.
