Team bonding over lunch is a crucial aspect of any workplace. It's not just about sharing a meal; it's an opportunity to connect with colleagues on a personal level, creating stronger relationships beyond work. These moments foster a sense of camaraderie that enhances teamwork and productivity in the long run. So, the next time you gather around the lunch table with your team, savor not only the food but also the chance to cultivate meaningful connections. Let conversations flow, barriers diminish, and bonds form. Trust us, it's worth it. 🫶 🤜🤛 #accenturemoments #accentureindia #cyberstrategy #feelgoodfriday Puneet Ahluwalia Krishnan, S. G.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of delivering a lecture on Blood Pressure to a group of remarkable women from around the world via Zoom. The lecture, prepared in English and delivered in my first language, was met with enthusiastic participation and engaging questions. It was heartening to see the appreciation and gratitude from the attendees. I felt completely at ease before and during the presentation, which allowed me to connect more deeply with the audience. Reflecting on this experience, I realized how much our past encounters shape our present mindset. Often, negative experiences, particularly those related to biases or misconceptions, can linger in our minds and impact our confidence. For instance, the idea of having an "accent" or speaking in a language that isn't the dominant one in a particular setting can be unfairly equated with a lack of intelligence or capability. However, everyone has their own "accent" when outside of their comfort zone or culture. It's essential to recognize that being multilingual or having a rich cultural background is a strength, not a weakness. Ignorance can lead to unfair judgments, but those of us who are aware must continue to rise above these misconceptions. I have so much to share with the world in both my first and second languages, and I will continue to work on my self-improvement while extending grace to myself. This experience reinforced the importance of compassion and kindness, not just toward others but toward ourselves. As professionals, we must continue to foster inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their linguistic or cultural background. Let's continue to support one another in our journeys of growth and learning, and remember that our "accent" is a testament to our rich, diverse experiences. #Compassion #Kindness #ProfessionalGrowth #CulturalDiversity #InclusiveLeadership

Communication. Structure.

Today I want to share a reflection about a powerful movement: #allyship. Throughout my professional and personal journeys, I've learned that being an Ally for Diversity requires cultivating empathy, challenging stereotypes and biases, and understanding the unique challenges and experiences each of us face. It requires sometimes dealing with our own vulnerabilities and being able to feel uncomfortable and overcome this through active listening, compassion and learning. I have learnt it requires taking tangible steps almost every day: expanding our networks by connecting with people we don't know well or who are different from us, addressing uncomfortable topics, or simply taking the time to listen, understand, and intervene when needed. While allyship can be uncomfortable and often goes unrecognized, it is an ongoing commitment AND the right thing to do. At #accenture we have a very powerful network of Allies who constantly challenge themselves and foster inclusion, creating a more equal, supportive, and thriving workplace for all.
