Give your employees the benefits of Temple’s exceptional professional training–experienced by hundreds of students our various Leadership Series since 2018–coupled with a unique opportunity for learning in an affinity group environment!
Despite companies’ best efforts and intentions to hire, retain and promote a diverse workforce research shows that people from diverse backgrounds are still more likely to leave their organizations due to feeling less supported.
Created in response to the need for effective professional leadership development training that also centers LGBTQ+ employees’ experiences and unique challenges in the workplace, the LGBTQ+ Leadership Series prepares future leaders for promotion into management and executive roles with our exceptional and inclusive curriculum.
Across three full-day sessions participants will hear from leading faculty and subject matter experts affiliated with the Fox School of Business, spend significant time in breakout sessions discussing and learning from each other, and develop a support system beyond their own workplace to boost their careers.

What to Expect
The LGBTQ+ Leadership Series moves participants through a selection of half-day learning sessions targeting the key skills necessary for leadership and business growth. Each of the three program days consist of morning and afternoon topics. These modules are led by an array of Fox faculty and subject matter experts whose lived experiences reflect those of the program participants. The series is ideal for individuals who are being considered for higher level managerial or director roles (and above), or anyone who has been identified as a future leader by their organization. Participants will leave the series with vital information on finance, negotiation, communication–and greater confidence in their ability to lead. In addition, the unique opportunity to regularly network with other professionals will help leverage participants’ potential for career advancement.
Digital Badge
Participants who complete the series by attending at least four of the six modules will receive a Digital Badge of Completion from Temple University, suitable for adding to a resume and sharing via social media. The digital badge is an excellent way to showcase your active engagement in the LGBTQ+ Leadership Series.
