^{Queer Resilience and Wellbeing in the Workplace}

Discussing politics at work has historically been a no-no. Yet, in reality, we know these discussions do happen, often leaving people at odds, frustrated, and disillusioned. As we head into an election cycle, this topic is more critical than ever and we invite you to share in a discussion. We’ll address questions such as how can we balance open dialogue with professionalism and inclusivity? What considerations should be kept in mind to ensure a respectful and positive workplace culture? How can discussing politics at work actually be constructive in the workplace? Join us for a timely and lively panel discussion as we explore practical strategies for navigating political discussions in 2024. We'll cover how to address sensitive topics thoughtfully and ensure that everyone feels heard.

There is one topic that we don’t talk about enough during Pride Month: resilience. As anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric continues in 2024, community care, collectivism and resilience are becoming more essential for the LGBTQIA+ community. This panel conversation is focused on mental health and building resilience internally as queer/trans folks, and how to support queer and trans people in the workplace that avoids disempowering LGBTQIA+ folks. The panel: Taj M. Smith (he/him), Training & Outreach Coordinator at TACT (Trans Advocacy & Care Team) Andrew Borden (any pronouns), Queer Marriage and Family Therapist Martin Gonzalez de la Vega (he/him), Manager, Diversity & Inclusion at Yahoo! Mira Shane DEIB Program Manager at Justworks Hosted by: Ryan Letts, Facilitator and Consultant, ReadySet Recorded: Jun 27, 2024 | 10-11am PT
