I lead the LGBTQIA inclusion group at my office location, but I need to confess that each time I need to write this acronym in official communications I put it into Google to ensure I've got the letters in the correct order. Is that bad?

does the order really matters?

I once knew a law firm called Sirote Permutt Friend Freeman Held & Apolinski. It is now Sirote. The reality is that there is an endless spectrum of ways people can identify themselves. Shouldn't we consider something like LGTN (N being nonbinary)? Or LGT+?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb.

How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

Have a crush on my co-worker.
