A new global event to recognise, celebrate and amplify Queer Leadership. Challenge the Norm. Lead Differently. Queer leadership has shaped culture, communities, and movements throughout history. But too often, it’s been overlooked, undervalued, or erased. Queer Leadership Week creates a moment in the global calendar to change that. For one week every November, we celebrate, amplify, and develop queer leadership — past, present, and future. We shine a light on voices and ideas that challenge the status quo and reimagine what leadership can be. Now more than ever — in a world facing inequality, crisis, and rapid change — we need leaders who bring courage, creativity, and compassion. Queer leadership shows us how to lead differently. But this week isn’t just for queer people. It’s for everyone. Because leadership, at its best, is about difference — embracing it, learning from it, and letting it transform the way we work, create, and live together. Queer Leadership Week is a rallying call. To queer leaders: keep leading differently. To allies and organisations: learn from us, stand with us, and change with us. To the world: leadership must evolve — and it starts here. Together, we can challenge the norm. Together, we can lead differently. The Vision. Our aim is for Queer Leadership Week to be a globally recognised activation that: 🌍 Celebrates the achievements of queer leaders past and present. 💡 Develops the next generation of leaders through education, events, and campaigns. 🤝 Connects individuals, communities, and businesses through shared programming. 📣 Amplifies queer voices and ideas to inspire systemic change. Core anchors of Queer Leadership Week. Global Activation Campaign: We will provide a toolkit for organisations, allies, and communities to run their own activities such as panels, workshops and social storytelling. Queer Leadership Stories: We will deliver daily spotlights on inspirational Queer Leaders across social media, platforming and celebrating the work they are doing. Collective Commitments: Companies and institutions will be encouraged to announce investments or pledges to support and develop queer leadership. Open Source Learning: Resources, masterclasses, and events led by partners, will be streamed globally, allowing Queer Leaders all over the world to develop their skills. How organisations can get involved. Host a panel, workshop, or storytelling event. Share stories of queer leaders within their organisation. Sponsor scholarships or training for emerging queer leaders. Join the global campaign with aligned comms. Partner with us on flagship programming. While you're here...

Somatic therapist Sandra Ljubinkovic shares what Queer Leadership means to her. New for 2025, UNLOCK, powered by We Create Space, is thrilled to introduce 'Queer Leadership 101: Lesson learnt from my journey as an LGBTQ+ change maker’ - Our new online, bite-sized series focusing on change makers and role models creating positive change locally and globally. During each 30 minute session, you'll hear all about our guest speakers' stories as they share more about who they are, what they do & how they show up in the world as a Queer Leader. There will also be an opportunity for questions & discussion. Our guest speaker this month is Sandra Ljubinkovic (she/they). Sandra is a somatic therapist, movement witch, feminist troublemaker, and lifelong learner of how we heal and resist. She works at the juicy intersection of healing systems change, embodied liberation, and political organizing. Think breath work meets decolonization, trauma healing meets dance floor, ancestral wisdom meets queer futurism. She works where systems crack and healing begins — in the messy, magical space between personal transformation and collective uprising. Her practice? A mix of somatics, trauma healing, breath-work, food as resistance, ancestral remembering, and a whole lot of unlearning. If you are someone who envisions yourself as a Queer Leader now or in the future, this is for you! The sessions aim to empower you with insights, inspiration & practical take-aways centred around our core pillars of community building: Inclusion, Wellbeing & Leadership. We hope you can join us as we come together to shine a spotlight on our Queer Leaders & learn, connect & grow as a community.
