A journey to a purposeful career and a journey from India to the UK, with Ritika Wadhwa, Director of the UK Operations at The Cultural Intelligence Center.
NEW EPISODE of The Belonging Project Podcast with Ritika Wadhwa, Director of the UK Operation at The Cultural Intelligence Center.
Ritika shares her personal story of moving from a patriarchal family in India to live and study by herself in the UK, then Canada, then in the UK again. She tells us how her personal experience really shaped who she is now personally and professionally.
After working in different corporate sectors, she discovered her purpose which is making a difference and impact from her own experiences. As Director of UK Operations at the Cultural Intelligence Center, Ritika mentions the importance of developing self awareness in the CQ journey, which is the biggest single change a leader can make within themselves, to foster a culture of acceptance and respect for differences that will lead to belonging which will then lead to innovation, creativity and happiness.
Her definition of Belonging really resonated with us "belonging is when you are wholly and completely yourself and know that you're wholly and completely accepted for being yourself when your difference is celebrated. That to me is belonging which really is the most basic human needs it drives our actions and motivations in every way in an every day"
