Leaders are feeling the weight of what it means to show up authentically in our rapidly evolving world. This question keeps coming up - how does one bring innovation to their executive approach when the old ways of showing up don't work anymore? I’m hearing repeatedly that leaders are being asked to perform at "the next level" but without any clear definition of what that means.

70% of change and transformation efforts fail. But what's rarely discussed is why. Change management strategies can be derailed due to poor planning or inadequate resources, but also because of what remains unspoken where one avoids the topic of addressing behavioral change.

We are living through a period of unprecedented transformation. However, uncertainty isn't about having all the answers, but about developing a flexible, purposeful approach. The key is learning how to transform those feelings from sources of anxiety into catalysts for intentional action.

The Leadership Pipeline is a transformative model that offers a powerful framework that's reshaping how we think about leadership development across cultures.

This time of year, a time of transition, invites us to acknowledge our journey while setting intentions for what's next.

Cross-cultural relationships in the workplace can broaden our world’s perspective and make us better humans and professionals. This month, we highlight how our diverse perspectives and shared experiences can strengthen these connections.

Cultivating a worldview as a global leader is about learning how we can broaden our perspectives and enhance leadership in an increasingly interconnected world. This month, we discuss human connections beyond barriers, recognizing our privileges, and more.

This month, we explore the intricate world of cultural differences, and also honor two significant observances: Immigrant Heritage Month and Pride Month. I share with you my favorite insights about understanding, appreciating, and navigating the invisible boundaries that shape our interactions across cultures.

As I continue to explore the complexities of multiculturalism and cultural paradigms, I am excited to share with you this month insights gleaned from a recent conversation I had with fellow international women business leaders about how to navigate the expatriation transition.

In a recent discussion, global executives explored the theme "Inspire Inclusion" for International Women's Day 2024. Led by DEI Executive Nikki Lamba, insights on inclusive leadership and hybrid work environments were shared. Participants discussed gender equality struggles, allyship, and the role of storytelling in fostering change. As we reflect on diverse experiences, let's amplify voices and commit to building inclusive workplaces together.

This March, we honored women's contributions globally. In our recent discussion, we explored cultural intelligence and invisible identities with inspiring leaders. From Peilin's heritage journey to Sandhya's call for allyship, we embraced diversity in leadership. Looking forward, we're excited to tackle expatriation transition, networking across cultures, and supporting immigrant experiences.

As we embrace the exciting possibilities that this new year holds with open hearts and minds, I am thrilled to share with you a new transformative series that will help to not only illuminate inspiring stories but also foster connection and empowerment within our community.

As we approach the end of 2023 and look forward to the New Year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have contributed in thoughtful ways to this community.

Now, more than ever, our world is in need of DEI change agents who have cultivated a global mindset and can help foster a culture of belonging in the workplace.

This month, I’m interested in having a conversation not just about working globally but how to lead and manage globally.
