24.01.2022 "Is this gonna be career limiting?" I thought.... 14 years ago, not long after I came out at work I was invited to participate in a "Diversity & Inclusion" board. We'd covered the other pillars of D&I and the conversation turned to LGBTI. ... I felt myself sweating...and then something WILD happened The most senior person in the room (who happened to be sitting next to me) said: "I don't think we need to talk about that because we don't have any gay people at __". I knew it was my moment. But I was frightened. The speaker seemed more ignorant than hostile, but how can you really know? I decided at 27 years old, I'd spent enough time hiding. Then I heard myself say : "Well you're never going to believe this....but you're sitting right next to one" It was perhaps the most honest thing I'd ever said at work - and it was transformative. It was that moment that inspired me to create the LGBTIQ Authentic Leaders program - which we pioneered with PwC Australia! And have since rolled out with KPMG Australia, Woodside Energy and RMIT University! We've supported over 100 brilliant LGBTIQ leaders to bring their whole selves to work. The impact has been Now we're taking the program GLOBAL! DM me if you'd like some info! #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #growth

03.01.2022 Today’s episode is a special one. Matt will delight and guide us through the practice of Self-Acceptance and what it actually means. We are living in a time where we are more critical of ourselves than ever before, grappling with this torrent of external requests and expectations. Thus, it is crucial to take a step back and look within, to be willing to shine the light of self-awareness on areas where we tend to reject ourselves and others. So how do we actually do it? How d...o we come to that level of accepting who we are? That is the topic for today’s conversation. You can either feel ashamed about something or you can learn from it, but you can’t do both. Join us in this insightful episode as Matt demystifies the notion of self-acceptance, and learn some practical ways that you can apply in your life as you search for ways to grow, learn and transform. https://www.matthewcooksey.com/unleashing-us-podcast
