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 related 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.

Join Us At Our Next Leadership Lens Webinar!

We continue to experience very challenging times in the workplace—especially for those of us who are deeply committed to creating cultures of inclusion, belonging, empathy, and psychological safety. Unfortunately, the hardships will likely persist this coming year, which feels both daunting and distressing given all that we’ve contended with over the last several years.

Given all the resistance and uncertainty, you may be wondering what you, as a leader, should be focusing on in 2026… and how to remain inspired, engaged, and well?

In good news, we’ve got you!

Join us on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 from 4:00-5:00pm ET for Gearing Up For Another Tough Road – Leadership & DEI Must-Dos for 2026, bci’s first Leadership Lens webinar of 2026. Leadership and DEI experts Ritu Bhasin and Dr. Komal Bhasin (also loving sisters!) will lead a candid, informal, Q&A-style discussion on leadership and DEI trends, best practices, and must-dos for the coming year. Come ready to ask your most burning—and uncomfortable—questions!

Everyone is welcome (for free!). Please spread the word and encourage people from across your organizations, and especially those in leadership roles, to attend.

If you have questions in advance, please send them to us. We will do our best to address as many questions as possible. We hope to see you online!

Sponsorship is one of the most powerful leadership strategies for advancing talent and driving inclusion in the workplace. Research consistently shows that sponsorship—when done inclusively—can catapult the careers of all professionals, but especially from underrepresented communities.

However, too often, well-intentioned leaders sponsor others by encouraging conformity to cultural norms, rather than offering advocacy that celebrates difference and fosters belonging.

This is precisely why it’s essential to practice inclusive sponsorship—to ensure that the support leaders provide truly empowers team members to rise while being authentic to who they are.

This will be the focus of our upcoming Asia Edition Leadership Lens webinar, Lift! The Power of Inclusive Sponsorship, to be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, from 12:00–1:00pm HKT. Join Ritu Bhasin LL.B. MBA, award-winning leadership expert, bestselling author, and CEO of bhasin consulting inc., as she leads an engaging discussion on how leaders and organisations across Asia can embrace sponsorship that uplifts rather than assimilates, including:

  • What sponsorship is and how it differs from mentorship—and why this is particularly important for organisations in Asia
  • The connection between belonging and inclusive sponsorship 
  • The key leadership responsibilities and must-do behaviours of inclusive sponsors
  • Key actions and behaviours for protégés in attracting sponsorship
  • How to overcome the challenges with attracting advocacy across differences


Attendance is complimentary. We invite HR and talent management professionals, DEI professionals, and leaders from across organisations in Asia to attend—so please spread the word.

If you have questions in advance, please send them to us . We hope to see you online!

Wednesday, Jan 14th from 12-1pm Hong Kong Time (HKT)
