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.

In bhasin consulting inc.’s inclusive leadership work, we leverage the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), a highly effective assessment tool for measuring cultural competence and inclusion. We’ve now administered the IDI to several thousand professionals globally, and here’s what we’ve found: the overwhelming majority of organisations (and leaders) fall in the developmental stage of “Minimization”—which means that while there may be a stated commitment to embracing cultural differences, the lived experience for team members is one of conformity, sameness, and exclusion.

Minimization is the enemy of inclusion and belonging for several reasons. And this is exactly what we’ll explore during bci’s next Asia Edition Leadership Lens webinar, Addressing Minimization, the Enemy of Inclusion and Belonging. We’re delighted to announce that on September 2, 2026 from 12:00–1:00pm HKT, Ritu Bhasin LL.B. MBA, award-winning leadership expert, bestselling author, and CEO of bci, will deliver a (free) keynote-styled webinar that will dig deep into:

  • What Minimization is and how this behavioural bias adversely affects a range of talent management practices—especially through the lens of an Asian organisation
  • Why focusing on sameness/universalism negatively impacts the retention of professionals from underrepresented communities in Asia and what to do about this
  • Key cultural competence principles, including how to navigate culturally-rooted behavioural differences across Asian organisations 
  • Strategies for how to interrupt Minimization, including how to provide career advocacy in an inclusive way 


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, September 2 from 12pm-1pm HKT 

We’re living through an extremely difficult moment across workplaces right now—shaped by economic uncertainty, political and social polarization, rapid technological disruption, and near-constant change. Given all of this upheaval, organizations everywhere are being asked to shift: to rethink how they operate, how they lead, and how they support their people.

But here’s the truth: change is hard. It’s hard for team members who are being asked to adapt to new structures, expectations, and ways of working. And it’s equally hard for leaders, who must guide their teams through uncertainty while managing their own resistance, stress, and fatigue.

So how can leaders effectively manage culture change in this challenging moment? Part of the answer lies in neuroscience—understanding what actually happens in our minds and bodies when we’re asked to change, and using that understanding to lead with more intention.

This is what we’ll dig into during bhasin consulting inc.‘s Leadership Lens webinar for September! Join us on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 from 4:00-5:00pm ET, as Ritu Bhasin, bci’s CEO and award-winning leadership expert, delivers a keynote-style webinar on “The Neuroscience of Culture Change. In this practical and illuminating session, Ritu will explore:

  • The neuroscience of how our minds and bodies react during stressful, high-change moments—and why this matters for how leaders show up
  • The leadership “must-dos” for managing culture change, including how to leverage self-reflection, emotional intelligence, and cultural competence
  • How to stay embodied and draw on “Core Wisdom” while leading through uncertainty and resistance
  • The power of scripting for navigating difficult culture-change conversations with clarity and care


Everyone is welcome to attend this important webinar (for free), so please spread the word! If you have questions for Ritu, please send them through by emailing info@bhasinconsulting.com. We hope to see you online!
