What does it really mean to be Queer and Christian? – Brandan Robertson

Confidence doesn't come easy, or so they say. But confidence for the gay guy can really be an uphill climb unless you have some guidance. Slaying the confidence saboteurs is Yannick Picard's mission, as he works with individuals to build up their self-worth to be confident in their world, in their own way, as themselves. Don't miss this wisdom filled chat about being your confident self.About YannickYannick Picard was only 16 years old when he was bitten by the coaching “bug”. He was watching a late-night infomercial and actually purchased the Tony Robbin’s Personal Power audio cassette program. He was blown away with what he learned from the 30-day personal development program.Back then, “coaching” was a term reserved for sports coaches, and being pre-internet days, Yannick put the desire aside as he couldn’t find training for it.Since then, Yannick has been a highly successful associate in the corporate/business world, a top selling Real Estate Broker and even a personal trainer!Let’s be clear, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine in the 25 years that followed. Yannick, as most do, experienced life’s rollercoaster ride of ups and downs and he didn’t understand why relationships, and careers seemed to come so easily for many, yet remained elusive for him.Then, he met a guy. “THE guy”. Out of nowhere, he ended 9 months of happy, fun dating and in doing so, lit the fuse that made a KABOOM in Yannick’s world.Shortly thereafter, an opportunity came up to be a certified coach.Yannick jumped at it. Yannick’s desire to help people overcome their saboteurs, increase their level of confidence, and transform their lives has developed into his mission, purpose, and pathway.Today, Yannick helps people uncover what’s stopping them from living the life and the relationships of their dreams. He teaches them how to expose and weaken their saboteurs and strengthen their inner sage; break free from and transform their limiting beliefs and create a vision for what they would love to have. By sharing his unique tools and strategies, Yannick helps them make their dream a realityConnect With YannickWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInHey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?

He's in his late 50's. He's a trailblazer. He's done porn, and he's a man. A transman, and he's got something to say about being a man of a certain age in the LGBTQ community. Never one to walk away from a fight or a belief system, Buck Angel is coming out swinging as a man in his 50's letting everyone know that TRANPA is in the house. But what is TRANPA? An elder TRANSMAN who is not going to be told, " Go sit down TRANPA and let us younger TRANSMEN take the lead now!" All Buck is asking for is some respect. Respect for those who've gone before us all in our fight for equality rights and voice as we age with grace and dignity.AboutBuck Angel is a world-renowned motivational speaker, pioneering filmmaker, and a human rights activist.

He never felt female and struggled through life until he had the life-changing opportunity to transition from female to male and finally live life authentically.

But with the help of compassionate doctors, he lives his truth and now can help to educate the world with his story. His mission is to inspire people to re-define gender and to foster a new generation as they discover the fluidity of sexuality and navigate gender politics. His message "It's not what between your legs that defines you" has sparked many a conversation and opened minds to the important message that gender is what you say it is for you, and that self-acceptance is not only what makes a person happy, it's how others come to understand you.
