Author of Q***ring the Way: Navigating Leadership Ethics from the Margins — a philosophy of q***r leadership for those ready to lead from the full truth of who they are. Leading with Q***r Integrity is a coaching practice and leadership philosophy developed by Darren Stehle, a writer, leadership coach, and Development Manager at Lambda Scholarship Foundation Canada. Darren helps LGBTQ+ leaders, ad
vocates, and change-makers lead with clarity, conviction, and purposeful direction—aligning their values, vision, and well-being to create meaningful, ethical impact. His approach integrates behavioural neuroscience, q***r theory, and insights from the Tao Te Ching to cultivate sustainable, self-aware leadership. Through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and thought leadership, Darren supports q***r professionals and organizations to bridge ethics and execution—turning their ideals into systems, strategies, and stories that sustain lasting change. Because every courageous act of q***r leadership advances dignity, equity, and our collective humanity.
