Personal Details

Bio

Ritu G. Mehrish is a woman on a mission to humanise leadership. She provides a refreshing and unique angle in presenting the human side of leadership by talking about the challenges, dilemmas and setbacks of leaders in their leadership journey. She believes leaders don’t have to be superheroes, and they don’t have to try to be perfect all the time.

There are thousands of motivational talks, books and articles that tell leaders how to be more profitable, how to be more effective, how to me more productive, how to be more successful BUT rarely and barely does anyone talk about the challenges, fears and dilemmas that leaders experience in their leadership journey.

Ritu has given a name to their temporary challenges and dilemmas – she calls it – ‘Leader’s Block’,

Through her keynotes, coaching and masterclasses she shares insights on how to Un:Block!

Ritu is a global speaker, executive coach and author, with 20 years of corporate experience with P&G, GE Capital and GE spin-off Genpact. In her last role, Ritu ran a multimillion-dollar business vertical with 1000 people across eight countries and five continents.

Her business and leadership experience has enabled her to bring in a pragmatic approach to leadership development. Her client list of: Google, PayPal, Swiss Re, JP Morgan, Applied Materials, Intel, Knight Frank, Johnson & Johnson, Deloitte, AIA, Medtronic, IKEA, and Wharton Executive Education, highlights the level of expertise she brings to the leadership topic.

She has lived in multiple countries and is now based in Singapore with her husband and two lovely children.

GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT SUPERHEROES

Ritu debunks the idea that leaders have to be superman or wonder-woman to be successful. She strongly believes that leaders are humans and as long as they are humans they will fail, fumble and falter; the key is to acknowledge it and then take actions.

DO YOU FEEL LONELY AS A LEADER... YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Ritu shares her perspective on why leaders feel lonely and how it’s often self-inflicted. She talks about deepening self-awareness and building strong networks for leaders and the role of an organization in facilitating open dialogues for their leaders.

FROM CLOSETS TO BOARDROOMS

Ritu challenges organizations to open up to failures and conversations around failures. Leaders in all the fields whether its sports, politics, entertainment go through a downtime so why are leaders in the corporate world treated differently? She urges leaders and organizations to remove the stigma attached to temporary failures and setbacks

HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH TODAY'S DISRUPTIVE WORLD

Today besides the leaders’ day job, they are expected to stay on top of current trends, embrace and lead change, make tough decisions, inspire other and much more. But what happens if the leader is blocked? Ritu talks about this phase that all leaders go through and yet it has no name – Leader’s Block.

CONTINUE, START AND STOP FOR WOMEN LEADERS

Ritu’s keynote is broken into 3 parts, what should women leaders continue doing, start doing and stop doing. She encourages the leaders to relook at what’s holding them back, to redefine their path and definition of success, to build a network of trusted advisors and to take action to navigate their career and their lives.
