Episode 51: The Question of Being Authentic at Work with Dr. Steve Yacovelli The Gay Leadership Dude

Should I be myself at work? When we second guess ourselves trying to show up as others think we should, the effort of holding back, thinking, and rethinking our ideas, work even our presences diminishes us. It not only harms us but deprives others of our most precious gifts... our unique perspective. Brilliance comes from a lifetime of experiences, and they help us solve problems, be creative, and convince others to follow our lead. Listen as Dr. Steve Yacovelli and I discuss what it means for LGBTQ and others to step up and show up at work, what managers and HR executives can do to create an environment that closes the gap on inclusion and belonging.Dr. Steve Yacovelli (a.k.a. “The Gay Leadership Dude") is the Owner & Principal of TopDog Learning Group, LLC, a leadership, change management, and diversity and inclusion consulting firm based in Orlando, Florida, USA but with affiliates (“TopDoggers”) throughout the globe.
