Ritu Bhasin, LL.B. MBA, is an award-winning speaker, author, and expert in belonging, equity, leadership, and empowerment, and is the CEO of bhasin consulting inc., a renowned DEI consulting firm that has worked with hundreds of organizations internationally. A passionate advocate for living and leading authentically, Ritu has presented to hundreds of thousands globally and coached over a thousand professionals to cultivate and claim belonging. She’s living proof of what can happen when you stand in your power while fighting the hate and hardships in your way. But Ritu didn’t always feel empowered to be an unapologetic, fiercely authentic person. Born in Toronto, Canada, to Sikh Punjabi immigrant parents, Ritu experienced the constant sting of racist bullying growing up, while also struggling with cultural tension about her identities. She carried her childhood trauma into adulthood, where she felt constant pressure to mask her authentic self across most of her relationships and in her work life, first as a lawyer and then as an HR leader at a global law firm. While trying to convince herself that she was living the “dream,” Ritu had a startling realization: because of relentless experiences with hate and life hardships, she was minimizing her authenticity to “fit in” among circles where she felt she didn’t belong. And in doing so, she was profoundly unhappy. Looking to transform her life through the power of healing, Ritu left her corporate job, launched her global DEI consulting firm, became a yoga and mindfulness practitioner and teacher, studied trauma and wellness healing practices, wrote the bestselling book The Authenticity Principle, and dedicated her life to empowering others. Most importantly, she committed to living as authentically as possible to claim belonging for herself and others. Ritu’s mission in life is to help create a more empowered, inclusive, and inspired world by unlocking belonging for all. She wants everyone to experience the magic that comes with living their truth. Ritu still lives in Toronto but travels the world to eat, swim, dance, hike, and work. Connect with Ritu on Instagram at @ritu_bhasin and on LinkedIn at in/ritubhasin.
