At bci, we infuse all of our work with the latest DEI, authenticity, belonging, psychological safety, leadership, empowerment, and mindfulness research and data. As thought leaders in this space, we have many resources available to download that will help your organization become more inclusive.
Many of us feel constant pressure to mask and curate who we are — to perform as someone we’re not rather than be who we are. And it hurts us. But we don’t need to live this way.
With We’ve Got This, Ritu offers readers a roadmap for how to claim belonging so that you can thrive. And it also offers leaders an opportunity to become better allies by practicing empathy and learning about the barriers to belonging — all to unlock belonging for yourself and for others.
We’ve Got This is a captivating and compelling read that outlines the path to standing in your power. Ritu’s insightful messages and deeply personal stories about the trials and tribulations of finding belonging resonate with the passion and authenticity she’s known for.

The bci team primarily works from lands that are part of the Dish With One Spoon Territory, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that brought these communities together to share, serve and protect these lands.
bci is deeply committed to honoring the spirit of this treaty, and we recognize our privilege in enjoying the benefits of these lands, which supports all that we do. We’re passionately focused on undertaking our DEI work in alignment with the values of Truth and Reconciliation, and we actively seek to decolonize societal and workplace systems, as well as our individual behaviors.
