The Syllabus of Self - Episode 09
Q: How do you choose opportunities and assess whether an institution will support you as an openly gay leader?
Bertolino says he was direct about being out and about his relationship during searches, asking whether it would be a problem. He and his husband chose not to live or work somewhere they could not be authentic.
Superpowers and Safety - Episode 07
Q: How do you approach crafting inclusive authentic internal messaging when operating across these different geographies that may not view the LGBTQ plus community the same we do in the United States?
Kahn recommends a two-way partnership between headquarters and local teams, grounded in trust, regular communication and local knowledge. Messaging should reflect differences in laws, terminology and timing, while being carefully considered for its potential global reach.
Superpowers and Safety - Episode 07
Q: How did you make that transition? How did you make that shift?
Kahn explains that communications skills transfer across nonprofit, media and corporate settings. She emphasized versatility, resourcefulness and taking responsibility for work from start to finish, then learning to communicate that value clearly in interviews.
Value Chain of Belonging - Episode 08
Q: What is the difference between a mentor and a sponsor, and how important is that distinction?
A sponsor makes someone visible, advocates for their success, and risks political capital on their behalf. A mentor provides a more intimate, accountable relationship focused on career challenges, with the mentee guiding the process.
