  •  What specific actions should senior leaders take to address rising bullying? 
  • How can insurers create a workplace culture where LGBTQ+ employees feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their authentic selves? 
  • What role do leaders play in fostering LGBTQ+ inclusion, and how can they become more effective allies? 
  • What are the biggest barriers LGBTQ+ professionals face in building careers within the insurance industry, and how can we address them?
