Julie provides consultancy, training and coaching to organisations across private, public and charity sectors. She specialises in diversity and inclusion and particularly the inclusion of women and of LGBT people.

Research shows that lesbians can often feel unwelcome in ‘LGBTQ’ celebrations such as Pride and are found to participate less in workplace LGBTQ networks than other groups. Lesbians are also obviously a minority in women’s networks and can feel unable to be themselves at work.

This session will give an insight into experiences of lesbians and how you might better support this underrepresented group in your work environment.

Date: Monday 26th April

Time: 11am – 11.45am
