Your sexuality is so much a part of your identity that I think it would be hard to create a vision of a fulfilling professional and personal life and work with a coach without disclosing this important aspect of who you are," Jenkins says. When you think of that next career goal or what you want to do next with your own business, I think its important to create your success and weigh in on just how important being 'out is to you."

One of Jenkins goals to help lesbians and gays achieve the kind of success and focus in their lives that will allow them to prosper in any economy-without having to necessarily sacrifice much of their identity. Jenkins says, If youre going to spend a lot of time at work or go into business for yourself, its important to honor who you are. When you lead with your true and honest self-what I call authentic leadership-then you come to a place of personal and professional power that most cant deny!"

Jenkins consulting company offers coaching services that usually include an analysis of his clients behavioral style and communications skills as part of his programs. Communication is usually the root cause for so many issues in the workplace that I think its helpful to work in this area to help people improve their relationships with others."

Jenkins experiences in corporate America as an openly gay male were previously featured in the book Out in the Workplace in 1993. Now that he runs his own company, he is dedicated to helping GLBT professionals achieve their goals and dreams through his coaching programs.
