WHY INCLUSION ON PURPOSE MATTERS
"As a Singaporean, I witnessed the power of diversity early in my life. This concept was reinforced from living in five countries by the age of 23. Creating environments where diverse ideas take flight isn't just my work, it's a way of life."
Ruchika on Brene Brown's
Dare to Lead Podcast
“'Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome,' ... is among the Harvard Business Review’s top 100 most-read articles in history. We talk about the contexts in which imposter syndrome was originally defined, as well as how it continues to be defined and experienced. We also talk about how the problematic myths, required masks, and systemic mindsets connected with the term and how they directly work against creating a culture of belonging."
