Our Mission.

Who Are We?

Why do we exist?

We believe people and organisations don’t grow in isolation - they grow in community.

We are a global learning platform, community network, and consultancy on a mission to help people and workplaces thrive by developing talent, building communities, shaping culture, and driving social innovation. We improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people and other under-represented professionals around the world - while equipping allies and organisations with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to attract, engage, and retain diverse talent.

Meet the Team

The Vision.

A world where all people - especially those from LGBTQ+ and under-represented communities - can belong, heal, develop, and grow.

What is 'Creating Space'?

‘Creating Space’ is our practice of collective learning, connection, and growth. It means:

- Taking time to develop self-awareness and resilience.

- Building stronger communities of support and belonging.

- Shaping cultures and systems that allow diverse talent to thrive.

- Equipping leaders, allies, and organisations to step into their power and responsibility for change.

How do we 'Create Space'?

Through our events, training, consultancy, and digital content, we share knowledge, tools, and wisdom that inspire people to show up differently — as leaders, change-makers, and allies.

 

We empower:

- Individuals to unlock their potential, care for their wellbeing, and grow as leaders.

- Organisations to attract, engage, and retain diverse talent through inclusive cultures.

- Communities to connect, collaborate, and create change together.

Queer Leadership

Queer Leadership.

For us, Queer Leadership is more than visibility or hierarchy. It’s a mindset:

- Practicing leadership differently - with authenticity, compassion, and courage.

- Challenging norms and opening new possibilities for how we live and work.

- Enabling all of us - queer or ally - to thrive personally and professionally.

Queer Leadership is leadership for everyone who wants to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
