In this episode, Nozomi and Subin discuss:

• Growing up as a third culture kid and her journey into coaching. 
• The concept of home and belonging. 
• The feminine and masculine energies in leadership and ourselves.
• Bringing more consciousness into the ways that we lead.

Key Takeaways:

• Belonging starts with belonging to yourself. You have to find and accept yourself, if you do that, you will find belonging wherever you are. 
• The more you know and accept who you are, the easier it is to lead and to allow your team members to shine as who they are. 
• Creating psychologically safe spaces and allowing your team to be themselves, as they are individually, requires more work from leaders than in the past. 
• You need to have empathy for the people who came before you. They did their best with what they knew. Appreciate what they did, but move forward from there.
