Course Information
Course Overview
Handle real workplace situations with confidence - from everyday conversations to bias, privacy, and team culture
LGBTQ+ inclusion at work isn’t just about policies... It’s about everyday moments.
And in those moments, a lot of people aren’t sure what to say or do.
This course gives you clear, practical ways to handle real workplace situations, whether you’re a manager, a teammate, or just trying to avoid saying the wrong thing.
Instead of focusing on theory, you’ll work through what actually happens at work and how to respond in a way that builds trust, respect, and inclusion.
You’ll learn how to navigate situations like:
Conversations around names, pronouns, and identity
Responding to comments that feel off or inappropriate
Understanding privacy and when to ask vs. when not to
Supporting coworkers without overstepping
Recognizing the difference between performative allyship and meaningful support
You’ll also explore how these situations show up differently depending on your role, your workplace, and the people around you.
You’ll walk away with:
Confidence in everyday workplace interactions
Clear, usable language for real conversations
Practical ways to respond when something doesn’t feel right
A better understanding of how support looks across different roles
Awareness of how your actions shape workplace culture over time
This is not a policy course.
It’s a practical guide to handling real situations at work - without overthinking it or avoiding it.
If you want to be a better colleague, a better manager, or just more confident in how you show up at work, this course will give you a clear place to start.
