Authentic Leadership and Being Out Professionally with Kristin Flickinger

When leaders and team members are able to bring their authentic selves to work, research shows that not only are they more productive and engaged - they also report higher job satisfaction, intention to stay, and more emotional support from co-workers. Kristin Flickinger joins us to tell her story and give powerful insights on how to lead or support in the workplace as an LGBTQ+ professional or ally.

An activist at her core, Kristin began her career in the LGBTQ+ arena as an intern for the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force in the ‘90s, and cut her teeth in politics managing a field office during the same-sex marriage campaigns of the 2000s.

Never afraid to voice important questions, Kristin’s style of leadership is transparent, bold, and collaborative. As Director of AIDS/LifeCycle, she led a team of high-performing fundraisers toward goals viewed as “impossible” by others, achieving a $1 million (20%) increase in fundraising in her first year. Most recently, Kristin brought her passion for advocacy and inclusion to the C-suite Director of Programs role for the Los Angeles LGBT Center, where she oversaw a portfolio that included 150 staff and a $15 million budget.

In that role as a senior leader for the world’s largest LGBT organization, Kristin served as an inclusion champion, overseeing organization-wide efforts to improve services to and employment practices for lesbian and bi women, and cross-departmental collaboration among providers of services to the Trans community. Kristin led workgroups focused on culture, coached directors and middle managers, and helped to develop policies, programs and trainings to increase employee engagement and belonging.
