Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we focus on the experiences of gender non-binary people in the workplace and provide resources to increase our effectiveness in working with non-binary colleagues. To work more successfully with gender non-conforming colleagues, we emphasize the importance of understanding ourselves and how we operate within these spaces. While paying attention to the work environment is important, we must also pay attention to ourselves. By understanding ourselves, we suggest, we are better able to understand and interact with others. We argue that each of us is more successful interpersonally if we first do work on ourselves intrapersonally. Toward that end, we provide an overview of two steps we all can take before we act in order to work more effectively with non-binary colleagues as well as all other colleagues.
