All humans go through transitions, and many of us experience challenges that cause us to question who we are and evolve into a more authentic version of ourselves.

This is certainly true for every member of the LGBTQIA+ community, who face adversity not once, but as an ongoing experience, in a plethora of ways and situations. And yet, these same experiences can forge incredible leadership qualities.

Qualities which have never been more needed in leadership.

In this podcast conversation we speak with Bree Fram and Dr Liz Cavallaro, the authors of the incredible new book, “Forging Queer Leaders, How the LGBTQIA+ community creates impact from adversity.” We explore how ‘crucible’ experiences can give rise to an array of key leadership attributes, and the powerful skills that the inner work inherent to coming out and gender transition can grant us.
