UNLOCK: The Queer Leadership Podcast | Episode Four

Christopher McDonnell and Ora Özer discuss invisible Queer Leadership and showing up when no one is watching.

What if true leadership wasn't about having all the answers or being in the spotlight? What if it was about holding space, sharing power, and showing up for others—especially when no one’s watching?

In this episode of UNLOCK: The Queer Leadership Podcast, Ora is joined by Christopher for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to lead. They talk about invisible leadership, the power of mentorship, and how being ready for opportunity often starts with doing the inner work.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “qualified” enough to lead or unsure how to bring your queerness into your leadership, this episode is for you.

Christopher shares wisdom from his journey—from nursing to global ERG leadership—that will help you rethink what leadership looks like.

You’ll leave this conversation with more clarity, more confidence, and a reminder that leading with compassion is a strength, not a weakness.
