From "We" to "I": Navigating Between the Collective and the Individual at Work with Neelu Kaur

What happens when people raised in "we" cultures step into workplaces built for "I"?

In this episode, I welcome author, speaker, and workplace culture expert Neelu Kaur to explore how cultural values, especially around collectivism and individualism, shape how we show up at work.

Together, we unpack the silent struggles many face when moving between different cultural mindsets:
▪️ Why self-advocacy can feel uncomfortable for those from collective cultures
▪️ What leaders can do to create space for quieter voices
▪️ The personal cost of code-switching between "we" and "I"
▪️ Practical ways to develop your self-advocacy muscle — without selling out your values

Whether you identify with a collective upbringing, work with people who do, or want to lead with more cultural awareness, this episode will help you build deeper empathy, stronger teams, and a more inclusive work culture.
