I have two children. At the beginning of 2020, I would have told you that both those children were girls – I was wrong. Toward the end of 2020, my 12-year-old told me that they identified as non-binary (i.e., that they were neither a boy nor a girl), and that’s where the adventure began. A new name, new pronouns, and the trepidation of parenting a non-binary child through all the female body change they would experience in adolescence. It felt pretty big.

In this week's Meet & Greet interview, myGwork member Thomas Leigh-Eldredge shares why LGBTQ+-inclusion at work is a 'top priority'.

Last month I ran the London Marathon. Not something I ever thought I’d say and to be honest, it still all feels a bit surreal! I’ve been a keen runner for several years now, but never thought I had the ability, or indeed the self-confidence, to run 26.2 miles. I’d previously run a few half marathons, purely for my own enjoyment (yes, I do enjoy it!) but even the thought of running twice as far felt like an impossibility. As the result of the pandemic, I found myself taking opportunities I never would have done previously and embarking on new challenges both personally and professionally.
