Neha Sampat is the CEO and founder of BelongLab, where she focuses on building belonging and true inclusion through consulting, training, speaking, and writing. She helps organizations create peak performance-inclusive teams by addressing hidden barriers to belonging, such as internalized bias, unconscious bias, distrust in teams, and wellness challenges. She is a nationally sought-after expert on inclusive leadership and disrupting impostor syndrome. She runs the top-rated owning your value programs to cultivate evidence-based competence and to nurture authenticity.
In this episode, Neha discusses how when you don't look like the people you're growing up with, and you're told you don't fit in - hiding the things that make you unique and different is vital to feeling safe at a cost.
For Neha Sampat, that cost was losing her voice, staying small, and doing her best to make everyone around her happy. That was fully reinforced in her career as a lawyer where the rules are real but unspoken.
Join me in listening to how Neha now knows that speaking truth to power may piss some people off, but it will fire others up, and that's what it will take to make the change she wants to see in the world.
