You’re leading, but it doesn’t really feel like you yet
Code-switching, reading rooms, making yourself fit. As a queer person in the corporate world, you're an expert at these skills. Now you've got a leadership role — and you're doing it again,piecing together styles from other leaders and waiting for it to feel like you.
Your leadership style already exists. We’ll work together to find it.
I'm Kit Germeroth. I coach queer people who are new to leadership — helping you stop performing the role and start leading as yourself. Because the most effective thing you can bring to your team isn't a polished leadership persona. It's you, actually.
This might be for you if:
You just stepped into a leadership role and something about it isn't clicking
You're leading like your manager because you're not sure what your own style looks like yet
You feel like you're performing at work more than actually showing up
You're tired of code-switching in order to feel accepted
You want to lead in a way that feels true to who you actually are
How we work together
Coaching is a partnership where I help you slow down, get out of your own head, and reconnect with what you actually think, feel, and want. When that clicks, your second guessing stops, decisions come more naturally, and you start showing up in your life and work in a way that finally feels like you.
We meet one-on-one and our work together moves through four stages — recognizing the gap between how you're showing up and who you actually are, reconnecting with your own values and instincts, bringing that self back into how you lead, and making it sustainable so you don't slip back into old patterns.

Why I do this work
I felt really lost when I moved into a leadership position. Not about the work itself, but about how to be myself in the role. I found myself trying to copy my manager’s style, thinking there was one right way to lead a team. I waited for it to feel right, and it never really did.
A coach helped me see that I needed to figure out what leadership looked like as me. That shift changed how I showed up, how my team felt, and how much I had left at the end of the day.
But I also noticed that my queer identity was missing from my coaching sessions. My coach misgendered me — a small thing that isn't a small thing. After that, I just couldn't bring my full self to the work, which meant I couldn't get as much out of it as I needed.
So that's the gap I'm here to fill.
