ABOUT THE PROGRAM

THRIVE is an entirely new four-month virtual program that will develop the next generation of queer and trans people managers. A total of 35 participants will complete The Humphrey Group’s pioneering Proud to Lead™ program, get exclusive access to queer and trans leaders working at the highest levels of Canadian business and engage in important peer-to-peer discussions. Through live Zoom sessions, virtual learning modules and self-directed work our inaugural THRIVE cohort will collectively unlock their potential as out leaders.
