Mobility is often sold as a clean reset: change your location, change your life. But in reality, moving across borders, industries, or workplaces doesn’t erase power. It reshuffles it.
In this Chat & Learn, we’ll look beyond relocation narratives and into what mobility actually exposes: how “culture fit” can become a quiet form of gatekeeping, why belonging is less about vibes and more about infrastructure, and how language, accent, and “professionalism” shape who gets heard, trusted, and promoted. Whether you’re considering a move, already living abroad, managing global colleagues, or simply navigating cross-cultural work, this session offers a grounded framework for understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Expect nuance, practical insights, and real-world examples plus a few tools for naming and navigating the hidden rules that shape belonging on teams and in new places.
