Career Strategy for Gender-expansive Professionals

The Real You belongs at work

Real You at Work is a workplace consulting practice for transgender and gender-expansive professionals who are forging new identities at work — and the employers who embrace and celebrate authenticity. We help individuals come out at work, navigate their identity transition, and receive the recognition and promotions they deserve.

For employers, we provide policy review, manager preparation, inclusive language training, and legal compliance guidance, so organizations can turn good intentions and policies into genuine support. Led by people who have lived this experience, we bring expertise most general consultants can't offer.

Our Purpose

The workplace gap we intend to close.

Transgender and gender-expansive professionals face a workplace landscape that has changed significantly — but not enough. The gap isn't between policy and practice, it's between what organizations say they value and what actually happens when an employee comes out. Closing that gap takes two things: courage and a plan. You bring the courage. We bring the plan.

I had no idea how to tell my manager about transitioning, how to approach HR, or what my rights even were. Real You at Work gave me a clear plan and the confidence to execute it. I'm still at the same company. Now I am the true me — and I've been promoted twice.
