Psychological safety is vital to foster for all team members but all the more so for trans and LGBTQIA+ contributors. 7 out of 10 LGBTQ+ people experience sexual harassment at work and 50% of trans employees hide their identity at work due to fear of discrimination. We are thrilled to speak with Cynthia Fortlage, an award-winning leader with over 25 years of experience in senior leadership positions across IT and marketing, about the need to create safe spaces where everyone feels they belong.
Cynthia Fortlage (She/Her)
I am Cynthia Fortlage, an award-winning leader with over 25 years of experience in senior leadership positions across IT and marketing. I have a unique perspective on tackling the complexities of gender diversity, which I believe lies at the intersection of human rights, sexuality, gender, and privilege.
I currently serve on the board of Outright International, a global LGBTIQ human rights organisation and UN Secretariat for LGBTIQ issues. Through my board roles, I have passionately advocated for the rights and well-being of individuals from diverse gender identities and expressions.
My mission is to create safe spaces where everyone feels they belong. I firmly believe everyone deserves to be treated with unwavering dignity and respect, irrespective of gender identity or expression.
As a certified mentor and a seasoned expert in diversity and inclusion, I possess an in-depth understanding of the challenges organisations face. I have collaborated with over 400 organisations of all sizes in over 30 countries, assisting them in cultivating inclusive and welcoming workplaces.
With a unique lens of two genders of experience, I offer insights and guidance to navigate gender diversity challenges effectively.
Driven by a desire for a just and equitable world, I believe gender equality is paramount. Together, let's shatter barriers and foster environments where all individuals thrive.
Renowned for my ability to captivate audiences on every level, I have been hailed as "an amazing lecturer and teacher for those in hearing distance." Whether delivering inspiring speeches online or in person, I use the power of storytelling to share knowledge, vulnerability, and passion.
