As Berlin celebrates Christopher Street Day (CSD) and the ongoing pursuit of equality, this Thursday Gathering explores the connection between diversity, creativity, and innovation. Inclusive communities have long been drivers of cultural change, entrepreneurial thinking, and new ideas—and the same principles that strengthen societies also strengthen startups, organizations, and innovation ecosystems.

\r\n

Bringing together founders, creatives, community leaders, and allies, the evening creates space for conversations around representation, belonging, self-expression, and the value of diverse perspectives in shaping the future. Through discussions, networking, and shared experiences, we'll explore how inclusive environments foster creativity, unlock opportunity, and contribute to sustainable growth.

\r\n

Join us for an evening that celebrates diversity not only as a social value, but as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and meaningful change.

Many queer people become experts at navigating uncertainty.

\r\n

Long before there is a roadmap, we learn to read people, environments and unspoken signals. We develop a sensitivity to what feels safe, what feels aligned, and what deserves our attention.

\r\n

Founders face a similar challenge. Some of the most important decisions in business happen when there is no perfect data set, no obvious answer, and no clear path forward.

\r\n

In this experiential workshop, leadership hiring consultant and Intuitive Psychology Coach Matthew Goddard explores what founders can learn from the queer community about intuition, self-trust and decision-making. Through discussion, reflection and a guided exercise, participants will learn how to distinguish intuition from bias, access deeper clarity around a current challenge, and explore a practical approach to making decisions in uncertain environments.

\r\n

Come with a challenge you're currently facing. Leave with a fresh perspective.
