However, when I watch major events unfold on the national and global level it can be challenging!  Many times my personal response may be different from my professional response!   How do I deal with this disconnect?  Over the years, I have been on both sides of the political activism spectrum.  I have been in the streets with Act Up, Pride organizations and protests.  I have also worked on change from the inside, quietly making a difference in small, small steps.  Right now, I find myself working on the inside. Talking to executives, offering training and best practices to corporations as they find the best way to balance their business and diversity goals.  Waiting for the change to come can be frustrating!  When I get to that point, I take a deep breath, look back at the progress that has been made and work to keep holding visions of possibility.  Chuck Yeager once said "You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing".  Imagine if we all lived that way.  What change we could accomplish!   So my question for you this month is "What's the best thing you are doing right now for LGBT workplace equality?"

 
Sincerely,
