3. We provide structured support. Our resources and guidance ensure that every mentoring relationship is meaningful and impactful.
4. It’s inclusive and accessible. Open to LGBTQ+ leaders at all career stages and across all sectors.

Why mentoring matters
LGBTQ+ leaders often encounter barriers such as bias, discrimination or a lack of visible role models in their industries. A supportive mentor can:

• Help you overcome these challenges with confidence.
• Offer tailored strategies for career advancement.
• Provide encouragement and insight from a shared perspective.

Whether you’re a mentee looking for guidance or a mentor ready to support another LGBT professional in developing their career, Pride in Leadership Mentoring is here for you.

Cost
