‘As CEO of the premier non-profit organisation working exclusively on LGBTQ+ workplace equity, inclusion, and belonging, it is such a pleasure to find a book so full of personal insights, research and practical actions on these topics. This book makes it clear how the rainbow ceiling was built, and how to break it down, with anecdotes from people all over the world that make it funny, sad, surprising, and real. Required reading for LGBTQ+ people pursuing their careers as well as for anyone seeking to build a more inclusive workplace.’

Layla McCay has written a very important book, essential for every leader at all levels.’
