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!

Across workplaces, countless Black professionals are naming a painful truth: they are experiencing anti-Black racism and exclusion from South Asian leaders and colleagues. Their stories are deeply troubling—and demand attention, respect, introspection, and action.

Given the importance of this topic, this is what we’ll explore during bhasin consulting inc.’s Leadership Lens webinar for February, in honor of Black History Month.

Join us on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 from 4-5pm ET for Interrupting Anti-Black Racism Among South Asian Leaders, a conversation between Ritu Bhasin, bci’s CEO and leadership expert, and special guest Vernā Myers, an award-winning DEI pioneer, advisor, speaker, and author. Verna is the founder of The Vernā Myers Company, and was previously the inaugural Head of Inclusion Strategy at Netflix.

In this powerful and necessary discussion, Ritu and Vernā will engage in an open, heart-centered dialogue about how South Asian leaders and communities can courageously interrupt anti-Blackness—at work and beyond. Ritu and Vernā will explore:

  • How, where, and why anti-Black racism shows up in the South Asian community
  • How South Asian leaders and team members can engage in self-reflection and accountability without shame and defensiveness
  • What it means to “call in” versus “call out” when addressing anti-Blackness across communities of color
  • How South Asian and Black professionals can work together to strengthen trust, solidarity, allyship, and belonging


This dialogue is not about blame—it’s about truth-telling, repair, and healing. As South Asian and Black leaders committed to inclusion and belonging, Ritu and Vernā will model what authentic cross-community conversations can look like when rooted in truth, empathy, and shared humanity.

Everyone is welcome to attend and take part in this important webinar (for free). Please spread the word widely. If you have any questions for Ritu or Vernā, please send them through by emailing info@bhasinconsulting.com. We hope to see you online!

Meaningful feedback is one of the most powerful tools for cultivating engagement, innovation, productivity, and belonging in the workplace. When leaders deliver feedback both impactfully and inclusively, they unlock growth and empowerment—not just for individual team members, but for entire organisations.

However, in many workplaces, performance management continues to be shaped by fear, bias, and narrow definitions of skills development—especially for women professionals. This can lead to feedback that stifles career advancement, rather than encouraging excellence and inclusion.

This is why practicing inclusive performance management is essential for leaders across Asia who are committed to building people-centric, high-performing teams and to advancing women professionals.

In honour of March being Women’s History Month, and to honour International Women’s Day, this will be the focus of our upcoming Asia Edition Leadership Lens, A Spotlight on How to Deliver Impactful & Inclusive Feedback—which will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 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 a dynamic discussion on how leaders across Asia can leverage impactful and inclusive performance management strategies to uplift team members, including:

  • Key leadership, inclusion, gender, and cultural competence principles—especially through an Asian context—for effective performance management
  • How biases shape both formal and informal feedback delivery processes and, in particular, for women professionals
  • The importance of understanding one’s own behavioural preferences and how these preferences influence how we evaluate others
  • The three key types of feedback that all leaders should offer team members
  • Practical strategies for delivering inclusive and meaningful feedback using bci’s OIRE model


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 by emailing info@bhasinconsulting.com. We hope to see you online!

Wednesday, March 18th at 12-1pm Hong Kong Time (HKT)
