Disrupting Bias: Overcoming Our Discomfort with Differences
When we know how to interrupt and address biases, people in our midst experience heightened belonging and feel safer and more included. This keynote explores the critical first step to building more diverse, equitable and inclusive environments: identifying and interrupting both conscious and unconscious biases.
Authentic Leadership: Unlock the Power of Differences in Organizations
Organizations are more diverse than ever — but in a society that favors sameness and conformity, many workplaces still struggle to truly foster inclusion. This keynote delves into how authentic leadership unlocks inclusion, empowerment, and innovation in the workplace and enables everyone to contribute to their fullest.
Ritu Bhasin is an entertaining, compelling, and captivating speaker. She effectively leverages her own experiences and insights to engage the audience in a deeply personal journey that demonstrates the importance of inclusion and what it means for each of us.

The "How" of Inclusive Leadership: Transforming Organizational Cultures Through Allyship
We’re hearing more than ever before about the critical importance of allyship, in workplaces and in society at large, and many of us want to step into the role of an ally, but we don’t know how to make this happen. This keynote digs deep into the concept of allyship and how it allows both leaders and team members to interrupt bias, develop their cultural lens and create environments that are authentic, empowering and innovative.
What Do I Say? Holding Inclusive Conversations Around Mental Health
Mental health concerns are on the rise among employees and leaders alike, who want to create workplace environments where team members are equipped with the skills required to hold supportive conversations around mental health. This keynote provides teams with the language and frameworks for holding inclusive mental health conversations.
Rise Through the Authenticity Principle
In order to cultivate inclusive workplaces, we need to interrupt the impact of bias on those who have received messaging that they should minimize their cultural identities to get ahead. This keynote is based on Ritu’s Amazon-bestselling book The Authenticity Principle and focuses on how the practice of authenticity can elevate people to live, work and lead in a more empowered and inclusive way.

Ritu connected with the attendees at our women’s conference because she fearlessly and honestly shared her own journey to tackle the pain of exclusion and be her authentic self. Her humor makes her approachable; her openness and vulnerability make her real. Attendees could see themselves in her story, regardless of occupation, age, or ethnic background. We all found strength and comfort in Ritu’s practical suggestions on how to be our true selves.
