As we sit here today, Pride month in the UK is in full swing and many brands have switched up their logos to reflect that, in support of the LGBTQ+ community. But there is a risk that we lose the message in there that Pride is a protest.

So today’s podcast is about Pride, where it came from and why it is still for a whole bunch of reasons very much a protest. It’s also about the link to strengths. And most importantly it’s about giving you some practical tips on how to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community – as an individual human and as organisations.

“Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.” – Sylvia Earle

When it comes to being authentic, with skill, there are few better approaches than by using the strengths approach. So in this podcast, I would like to focus on how to be more you, the strengths way. I have 5 steps to share with you:

1. know your values and purpose;

2. understand what energises you;

3. build a brand around that;

4. keep stretching, keep learning;

5. avoid overdrive.

I hope you enjoy this step by step guide to being you. Subscribe today and get The Strengths Guy podcast at the start of every working week.
