Tomorrow is Wear It Purple Day, a day to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people. Young people who face systemic discrimination outside of work also face institutional barriers inside of work, so ALL OF US (workplaces, leaders, managers and team members) need do the work to break down these barriers. Our expert, Ciarra Jones, M.T.S. Jones has these tips: Take some time to reflect on systems of oppression you may have encountered in the workplace. Allyship starts with one courageous action at a time. 🏳️🌈 If you're a leader: If someone in your team comes to you after experiencing discrimination, make a deliberate effort not to dismiss them and instead engage in honest and open conversations about what happened. Focus on what you can learn and do differently. 🏳️🌈 If you're part of a team: If you notice bias in the workplace, try asking genuine, non-confrontational questions to encourage the other person to reflect. Questions like “That’s an interesting way of looking at it, why don’t you tell me more?” or "I didn't understand the joke, can you please explain it to me"? can encourage introspection without defensiveness.

💡 Lightbulb Moment Alert! 💡 Here’s why you’re currently not at your dream destination yet… You see, for someone to achieve their ultimate goal, they think they need to be focusing on so many things: 🔸 "I need to work on my confidence." 🔸 "I should improve my communication skills." 🔸 "I must learn to network better and put myself out there." But guess what? These things, while helpful, are not the deal breaker for reaching your dream desire. 💡 Now, here's the lightbulb moment: it's not just about therapy or coaching alone, or even sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing. It's about combining the best of both worlds! 🌈 Queer Leaders and Leaders-to-be, listen up! If you're craving authenticity and confidence, it's time to tap into the power of therapy and coaching, hand in hand. Therapy brings those eye-opening insights (and often this takes far too long), while coaching brings a bias for action but without going deep enough. By focusing on a unique blend of therapy AND coaching, that's when the magic happens... and it happens fast! That's where we get to the root cause of the issue and turn things around in no time at all. So, dear friend, if you're not currently where you want to be with your aspirations, it's time to change up the strategy you're using. 🦄 Let's unleash your true potential, break through barriers, and guide you towards the life you've always envisioned. It's time to step into your authentic self and conquer your goals! Ready to embark on this journey together? Let's connect and make your dreams a reality. Hope this lightbulb moment helps illuminate your path! ✨ Mwah! 😘 #mentalhealth #lgbt #lgbtq #transgender #menshealth

Are you tired of therapy feeling like a root canal at the dentist? 😩 I know I was. Make sure you read on! It's time to shake things up and make personal growth FUN again. Because let's face it, if it's not enjoyable, it's not sustainable. And if it’s not sustainable then you’ll end up back at square one - or worse. I used to dread the thought of working on myself with a therapist or coach. It felt like a chore, something I had to do rather than something I really wanted to do. But then I discovered the power of making FUN a priority in my personal development journey. When we approach our goals with a playful mindset, we not only enjoy the process WAY more, but we're also more likely to stick with it long-term. So if you're ready to ditch the dull, boring approach to personal growth and make progress towards your dream goals, let's get creative and think outside the box. Trust me, I've been where you are. I know what it's like to feel stuck and frustrated with the same old clinics, methods and results (or the lack thereof). But I also know what it takes to turn things around and create a life that's full of joy and fulfilment. Let's work together to make personal development fun again, so you can achieve your authenticity and confidence with ease and excitement. Don't settle for the same old results. Let's make therapy a blast! #mentalhealth #fun #lgbt #lgbtq #transgender #menshealth

Get Comfortable with Getting Uncomfortable 💪 As ambitious go-getters, we're always striving to reach new heights, expand our horizons, and challenge ourselves in pursuit of growth. But the path to progress is rarely a straight, smooth line. More often than not, it's paved with uncertainty, obstacles, and downright discomfort. And that's precisely where the magic happens. Stepping out of our cozy, familiar routines and embracing the unknown is how we truly evolve, both personally and professionally. It's where we build resilience, unlock creativity, and discover our greatest potential. Think about the last time you were forced to confront something that made you squirm with unease. Maybe it was delivering a high-stakes presentation, venturing into a new market, or leading an important initiative outside your wheelhouse. In the moment, it may have felt overwhelming or even paralyzing. But looking back, you're likely amazed by what you were able to accomplish. The confidence you gained. The skills you honed. The fears you conquered. That's the power of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's about adopting a mindset that welcomes challenges, rather than fearing them. One that sees roadblocks as opportunities in disguise. So the next time you find yourself facing an intimidating obstacle, don't shrink back. Embrace it. Lean into it. And watch as you grow stronger, savvier, and more resilient than ever before. After all, the real magic happens outside your comfort zone. 🪄 #GetUncomfortable #GrowthMindset #ChallengeYourself #ResilientAF #MindoverMatter #PersonalGrowth #consultant #projectmanagementprofessional #agileprojectmanagement #projectmanagers #pmi #businessplanning #supportblackbusiness #blackbusiness #blackbusinessowner #smallblackbusiness #portlandoregon #lgbtq #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqcommunity #coaching #businesscoach #lifecoaching #decisions #bestdecisionever #decisionmaking #lifedecisions

Imagine that! 🌍✨ Wanna dive deeper into this? Check out my book 'OUT OF SPACE' and let's chat about building safe spaces in our own corners of the world! 📖 Be the safe space you want to see in the world! 🌟 #SafeSpaces #InclusiveLeadership #BeTheChange Safe spaces can no longer be bound and limited to physical locations, but they must be found and created in each of us, allowing us to transcend the limitations of walls, rooms, and buildings. #Leadership #lgbtq #motivation #inspiration #blessed #time #grateful #juliocroman #safespace #antibullying #speakingup
