We’ve Got This – Unlocking the Beauty of Belonging in the Workplace
Many of us struggle to experience belonging in the workplace, which is often tied back to the negative messaging coming our way about our identities. But it doesn’t have to be this way! There are concrete practices and strategies we can use to embrace who we are, stand in our power, use our voices, and unlock belonging.
And as leaders, it’s our responsibility to cultivate psychological safety, inclusion, and empowerment in how we work, so that every team member can experience belonging in our organizations.
How can we make this all happen?
We’re delighted to announce that on May 31, 2023 from 4-5pm ET, Ritu Bhasin, bci’s CEO and DEI, leadership, and belonging expert, will deliver a (free) keynote-styled webinar focusing on concepts from her new book We’ve Got This: Unlocking the Beauty of Belonging. In this practical, empowering session, she’ll dig deep into:
- Understanding how difficult life experiences impact our self-identity, including the internalization of bias
- The power of choosing to be your Authentic Self at work and how to make this happen by leveraging the Three Selves Framework™
- What “core wisdom” is and why it’s essential for healing from difficult experiences, feeling fulfilled at work, unlocking belonging, soaring in your career, and being an inclusive leader
- How to deal with difficult experiences, including biases and micro-inequities, in the workplace in a way that feels safe and empowering
As may you know, bci’s monthly webinar series is free to attend. This said, to support the launch of Ritu’s new book, we request that each attendee pre-orders one copy of We’ve Got This in advance of the session by visiting here for US readers and here for Canadian readers.

I’ve been working and attending workshops for over 20 years, and this is one of the very best I’ve ever attended. Perfectly timed topic, fantastic presenter/coach. I could have paid hundreds of dollars for this and spent two long days in a hotel meeting room for a workshop on the same theme and not have got as much out of it as I did this morning in the space of 1.5 hours. Just wonderful.

I wish this training was required for and available to every people manager in my industry. It’s that impactful!
