Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! Jayzen is thrilled to be kicking off Pride Month with Jen Henderson, who has had a career in tech spanning over thirty-five years and is a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ causes. She is currently the Senior Vice President of Systems Engineering Delivery for Corporate and Institutional Banking at PNC. Jen knows firsthand the power both in and out of your career that comes with accepting one's true self.
In celebration of Pride Month, the Lead With Your Brand Podcast has partnered with Out & Equal Workplace Advocates, the premier organization working exclusively on LGBTQ workplace equality. Each week in the month of June, we’ll be featuring an out leader each with an amazing career story to share. In addition, I’ll be hosting two special roundtable episodes where we’ll explore issues around the trans experience and intersectionality of race and LGBTQ+ in the workplace. Out & Equal will be providing discussion guides for shows, so we encourage you to use the podcast as a virtual “book club” with your ERG or group of friends. Listen to the episodes and schedule your group discussion with the discussion guide as part of your own pride programming. Check out https://www.leadwithyourbrand.com/pride for more information and to hear some of our favorite shows from Season 1 and 2 that also feature LGBTQ+ leaders
Happy Pride!
