Leadership can be serious work. That does not mean leaders have to take themselves too seriously.

Kevin Wong and I talk about why humor can be especially valuable during difficult and uncertain times, and how workplace humor can create connection when people recognize their own experiences in it.

As Kevin points out, sometimes a good workplace meme says something about our shared experience that a more polished post cannot.

A professional profile can tell you what someone does. It does not tell you everything about who they are.

Kevin Wong shares some of the things you would not necessarily find on his LinkedIn profile, including being an uncle, caring for plants, juggling, and riding kinetic stilts.

There is always more to a person than what appears on LinkedIn.

There is no single path to a successful career in communications.

The Trevor Project’s Kevin Wong reflects on his own unexpected path into PR and communications and why he believes people should explore what interests them rather than trying to fit a predetermined idea of success.

Different backgrounds, perspectives, and personalities can make our organizations stronger.

Some of the most important leadership lessons happen outside the usual workday.

The Trevor Project’s Kevin Wong shares why leaders should invest in their people beyond their daily responsibilities, from bringing them into important conversations to giving them opportunities to observe how experienced leaders operate.

Leadership development is about creating opportunities for people to learn.

Sometimes trying to help someone can actually hold them back.

Kevin Wong shares a leadership mistake he regrets: repeatedly stepping in to solve challenges for someone on his team rather than helping them develop the skills to handle those challenges themselves.

It reminded me of advice from Barry Rafferty that I wish I had understood earlier: being liked is not the same as being respected.

None of us develops our leadership style in isolation.

The Trevor Project’s Kevin Wong reflects on three leaders who shaped his approach, including Jaymes Black, Angel Aristone, and Terron (Tron) Moore, and the lessons they taught him about trust, relationships, empathy, and expectations.

We then discuss why trust has to be paired with accountability if leaders want to empower others to succeed.

What does it say about an organization when it stays committed during a difficult environment?

The Trevor Project’s Kevin Wong discusses why some organizations have maintained or expanded their Pride commitments and why visibility can represent possibility for LGBTQ+ young people.

It is a thoughtful reminder that leadership is also about what you continue to stand behind when doing so becomes harder.

What should organizations do when business pressures change their commitments?

The Trevor Project’s Kevin Wong discusses what organizations that have stepped away from Pride should consider if and when they return, including the importance of accountability and working alongside the community.

It is a reminder that trust takes time to build and responsibility matters when circumstances change.

Kevin Wong, Chief Communications Officer at The Trevor Project, joins Taking the Lead to discuss trust, accountability, empowerment, and what it takes to help others become stronger leaders.

Diversity, equity and inclusion cannot exist in a silo.

Maeve Hagen and I discussed why moving beyond performative efforts requires organizations to build inclusion into hiring, leadership development, retention, and the way the business operates.

That kind of leadership takes consistency and commitment.
