Summary

For our second part of our non-monogamy in the workplace series, we're talking about how to actually go about opening up at work, what kinds of changes your organization can do to make the most impact the fastest, and why companies should care about being accepting and open. To tackle these topics, we're sharing some excerpts from an interview with Dr. Lily Lamboy from the OPEN Workplaces Initiative. Dr. Lily Lamboy is a social impact executive, educator, and researcher who currently serves as the Director of the Open Workplaces Initiative at the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy and the Co-Founder of the Modern Family Institute. She holds a PhD in Political Science from Stanford University, where she also served as a Lecturer in both the Rhetoric and Feminist, Gender & Sexuality Studies programs. Dr. Lamboy previously led the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion functions at both Stripe and Blue Shield of California, scaling both internal-facing employee-focused strategies and external-facing health equity, social justice, and economic initiatives. Find information about the organizations Dr. Lamboy is a part of at www.modernfamilyinstitute.org and www.open-love.org.

0:00.0	I was in a conversation this week where my manager was doing this coffee chat with all of us at the beginning of our team meeting and asked everyone to go around and share something that they did this past weekend.
0:15.6	This is a totally innocuous seeming question and people will share it about their kids' birthday parties and baby showers and all these things and I lied. I lied about what I did this past weekend because what I did this weekend was spend time with my husband and his partner and we all did something together and it was really
0:35.4	meaningful but I act like I hung out with some friends and what it does and this is

1:27.3	Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, swinging, casually dating, or if you just do relationships differently, we see you, and we're here for you.
1:37.0	Fongs I know I did. On this episode of the multi-ammery podcast we're continuing on with
1:50.7	part two of our two-part series about coming out as being non-monogamous in the workplace.
1:57.4	So in the past episode, just as a quick recap, we talked about some of the ways to evaluate the risks that you might have in coming out,
