Leadership Lens Webinars
Thought-Provoking Free Training on Cutting-Edge Leadership Topics
At bci, we recognize the importance of offering free training in order to spread best practices relating to shift leadership, talent management, DEI, and belonging to the widest possible audience.
Since March 2020, we’ve offered several dozen free Leadership Lens webinars on a leadership topic almost every month and have now trained tens of thousands of participants.
Focusing on a different leadership area each month, including bringing in thought leaders and experts as guest speakers, our hour-long free Leadership Lens webinars tackle some of the most cutting edge, challenging, and sensitive topics. Our webinars address complex and difficult subjects head-on and offer opportunities for nuanced and thoughtful discussion.

As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, AI is one of the hottest areas out there right now. It’s being touted as being transformational and revolutionary, including in the workplace, which is very exciting for those of us who manage and lead within organizations.
But at the same time, AI is being criticized for having built-in bias because of the data on which it is being trained. Given this, there is reason for us to pause and reflect on what its impact will be on talent management and organizational culture and, more specifically, on DEIB efforts.
And this is exactly what we’ll explore during bhasin consulting inc.’s Leadership Lens webinar for November, Let’s Dig Deep: The Intersection Between AI & DEI. We’re delighted to share that on Wednesday, November 20th from 4-5pm ET, bci’s CEO and leadership expert Ritu Bhasin will be joined by Dr. Nika White, an award-winning management and leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and author – including her latest release, Inclusion Uncomplicated: A Transformative Guide to Simplify DEI. During this fascinating fireside chat, Ritu will ask Nika about:
- What is AI and how does it influence the work environment, organizational culture, and DEI
- The reasons why AI is inherently biased, including the consequences of this bias
- Understanding intersectionality in AI
- What can be done to ensure that content generated by AI is more inclusive
Everyone is welcome to attend, so please spread the word. If you have any questions for Nika and Ritu, please send them to us by emailing info@bhasinconsulting.com. We hope to see you online!
Wednesday, November 20th from 4-5pm ET
With the world becoming more polarized due to social, political, and geopolitical tensions, workplace relationships can suffer from increased friction and division. These tensions can stem from differing perspectives on political events, social issues, and global conflicts, which are increasingly affecting work environments. As sharing our differences in values and perspectives becomes more common in the workplace, it is very important to equip leaders and teams with tools to effectively manage these dynamics.
This is what we’ll explore during bhasin consulting inc.’s Leadership Lens webinar for December, Repairing Relationships in Polarized Workplaces. We’re pleased to share that on Tuesday, December 10th from 4-5 pm ET, Dr. Komal Bhasin, bci’s Senior DEI Consultant and Mental Health Expert-in-Residence, will dig deep into how to navigate these challenges, repair strained relationships, and foster productive dialogue, even when values clash. The focus will be on practical strategies for maintaining connection, navigating difficult conversations, and coaching others through conflict, all while creating a supportive environment where trust can thrive. During this webinar, Komal will explore the following key areas:
- How to navigate value differences and polarization within teams
- Strategies for leading difficult conversations while maintaining connection
- How to create the conditions for safe, respectful dialogue in polarized environments
- Approaches for coaching employees who may be struggling to engage in or navigate conflict
- Methods for responding effectively when the conditions for safe dialogue are not in place
Everyone is welcome to attend so please spread the word. If you have questions in advance, please send them to us by emailing info@bhasinconsulting.com. We hope to see you online!
