Queer Eyeing Relationships with Jamie Issuh and Norman Tran
How we lead is shaped by how we relate to ourselves, our teams, and our communities.
In this fireside chat, Jamie Issuh and Norman Tran discuss how being queer affects their relationships and therefore how they choose to show up for the communities they lead.
They will explore questions like:
✨ How do your Queer and Asian identities influence the way you lead? How do they shape the "why" behind your work?
✨ Why relationships are so important for leadership, and what do people often overlook when it comes to investing in relationships?
✨ What does it mean to queer-eye communication? How does doing so impact the communities you serve?
Join this fireside chat to discover how changing the way we communicate changes the way we connect, and ultimately changes the impact we can have as leaders.
