We took Culture REfit to the streets of Lisbon and had the most honest conversations about what it really means to belong at work.

In Jardim de Estrela, we sat down with Irene from Nigeria, Asha from the USA, Alex from Portugal, Naky from Togo, and Manuel from Spain. They shared their real stories about moving to a new city, navigating different workplaces, and what actually makes you feel welcome.

Here's what we learned: Belonging isn't about fitting in. It's about showing up as yourself without shrinking.

We talked about the little things that matter, greeting your neighbors, making friends across cultures, having a boss who treats you like an adult. We talked about what healthy workplace culture actually looks like from the inside. And we shared practical tips for navigating across cultures with curiosity instead of fear.

If you've ever felt like you had to become someone else to fit in at work. If you navigate multiple cultures or identities. If you've wondered what real people actually think about workplace culture and belonging, this episode is for you.

Real people. Real conversations. Real solutions.
