Dr. Steve Yacovelli (a.k.a. “The Gay Leadership Dude®”) is an expert in diversity and inclusion, change management, and leadership. He’s worked internal for folks like The Walt Disney Company, IBM, Tupperware Brands, and several universities before starting his own consulting firm, TopDog Learning Group in 2008. TopDog works with both Fortune 500s and not-for-profit organizations to bring about a more inclusive and effective workplace through on-site workshops, virtual or face-to-face keynotes, 1:1 and group coaching sessions, and custom learning solutions. Steve’s also an award-winning author, speaker, and catalyst. His latest book, “Pride Leadership: Strategies for the LGBTQ+ Leader to be the King or Queen of their Jungle” ‘came out’ in 2019. Steve’s not-so-hidden agenda is to make the world a bit more inclusive for us all.
