Who Am I and Where Do I Come From? Intercultural Leadership in Practice

with Irene Taroni

Lecturer & Trainer in Intercultural Communication, Leadership, and Facilitation (Hanze University)

What does it mean to belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time?

In this episode of the Bennu Podcast, Irene Taroni shares her journey as a Third Culture Kid and how it shaped her passion for intercultural communication and leadership. She also reflects on the power of empathy, reflection, and stepping out of your comfort zone.

We explore:

• How identity and belonging influence the way we lead and connect.
• Simple practices like reflective journaling and “conversations that matter.”
• Why intercultural sensitivity is a vital skill for future leaders.
• What it takes to create safe spaces for growth across cultures.

✨ Irene leaves us with a powerful question to carry forward: Who am I, and where do I come from?
