This episode is one I’m so excited to be sharing with you. I’ve wanted to get my guest, Char Bailey, on the podcast for quite some time!

Char is such an inspiration and an incredible role model – in our conversation she shares her experience as a woman of colour who is also a lesbian and autistic and how she brings together her skills, experience and knowledge to help people reflect on everything they have inside themselves and live authentically.

Char's a life coach and NLP practitioner who studies spirituality, reiki and breathwork. We talk about the power of owning our identity and the importance of visibility and how this helps others to feel safe and confident to show up as their true, unique, authentic selves.

And we dive deep into allyship - the harm caused by the assumptions people make about race, sexuality, autism and other marginalisation’s and some of the biggest challenges of overcoming bias and discrimination. And why, when there’s still over 70 countries in the world where being gay is a crime and people are being killed for their existence that allies are so, so fricking important.

So please listen in and listen well.

This is such a valuable, open and enlightening episode.

I really hope you take away something new to reflect on and help you on your personal development journey both as an individual and an ally.

If we want to be inclusive in our business we must understand gender identity and the importance of using pronouns for people in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Understanding and caring about these things is at the heart of creating safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces for everyone. Yet many people struggle to know how to create environments where all genders and people who use different pronouns feel accepted and included.

To help you with this I’m giving you 10 action steps that will help you feel more confident and better equipped to share your own pronouns, invite others to share theirs and navigate conversations that call out discrimination and create greater equality for LGBTQIA+ people.

Please share this podcast episode with family, loved ones, friends and maybe even random people that you meet.

Be the super ally you want to be!
