How Otherness Empowers a Queer Leadership LOP099

Published: Aug. 22, 2019, 4:01 a.m.

How can we work together as a collective of queer thinkers to embrace, demonstrate, and advocate a humanitarian leadership of belonging?

How can we \u2013 collectively as queer people \u2013 lead from the margins to metaphorically corral the disparate fractions of humanity, so that divisiveness between peoples may become less in proximity to create and foster a genuine diversity.

There doesn\u2019t yet exist a so-called \u201cqueer leadership\u201d per se, or that I know of, but I am working on developing this new style of leadership that our world desperately needs. That starts here, with this \u201cLiving Document\u201d, which I will continually add to, modify, and come back to as the foundations for what I hope to co-create with many other like-minded, queer thinkers. (If you would like to receive a copy of this document as soon as it\u2019s available,\xa0subscribe to my newsletter\xa0so that I can send it to you.)

In today\u2019s episode:
  • Why \u201cGay leadership\u201d is not enough.
  • Building upon the 14 distinct gifts that are unique to many gay men as discussed in Ray Rigoglioso\u2019s book, \u201cGay Men And The New Way Forward.\u201d
  • What do we need to create evolutionary change in the world?
  • What does \u201cqueer\u201d mean and why is it vital that we embrace and reclaim the word.
  • Embracing and honouring all the letters that make up our fluid \u201cLGBTQ+\u201d acronym.
  • Making the pronouns, they/them the linguistic default.
  • Moving from a politics of division to a politics of belonging.

If you\u2019re a creative person \u2013 a scholar, writer, or an artist \u2013 but you\u2019re stuck trying to start or complete a project, maybe because you think that you don\u2019t know enough, that you\u2019re an imposter pretending to be an expert, then we should talk.

Let\u2019s discover how to use your insights, talents, and uniqueness to make a difference in the world and to Live OUT your mission. Find out more at DarrenStehle.com/coaching.
