Lead with Pride: Best Practices for Advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ Leadership
In collaboration with our community and partners, Pride at Work Canada undertook a study on 2SLGBTQIA+ senior and executive leadership across multiple industries and sectors – the first study of its kind in Canada.
Lead with Pride: Best Practices for Advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ Leadership features an analysis of the career pathways and experiences of 23 queer and trans leaders, as well as the workplace practices of 13 private, public, and non-profit sector employers, to establish an understanding of the barriers, supports, and opportunities for queer and trans professionals to reach leadership positions in Canada.
This study used an intersectional analysis and intentionally features the voices of trans and queer leaders who are Black, Indigenous, racialized and disabled, and who have immigrant backgrounds.

As a product of the report, we offer Lead with Pride: Leveraging our Strengths, a session to explore how we can implement lessons from 2SLGBTQIA+ Leaders in practice, and in mobilizing against rising hate, while caring for ourselves. For more, visit our Training Sessions page.
Additional tools for aspiring 2SLGBTQIA+ leaders to guide mentoring relationships and board recruitment appointment processes, and a collection of identity-based strengths and assets in 2SLGBTQIA+ leadership will be available soon on this page.
The “Skills for Safe and Inclusive Workplaces and the Advancement of Members of 2SLGBTQIA+ Communities” project is funded by the Government of Canada under the Future Skills program. « Compétences pour l’établissement de milieux de travail sûrs et inclusifs et l’avancement des membres des communautés 2SLGBTQIA+ » est financé par le gouvernement du Canada dans le cadre du programme Compétences futures.
