UNLOCKING THE PUZZLE OF INCLUSIVE GROWTH WITH COMPASSION | Anjali G Sharma | TEDxFIIB

Compassion is at the heart of inclusion, be it grassroots, corporate or in our day to day lives. Until we acknowledge and appreciate others and the differences, unless we see the world from their point of view and are moved to act, we cannot achieve inclusion in true sense of the word.By bringing anecdotes from my personal life that made me take a plunge into the development sector as well as the various experiences from grassroots especially how during COVID we could get diverse organisations and people from across walks of life to come together and strive for the cause, I want to highlight how compassion can be the true north in ensuring equity and inclusivity. Compassion is the key to opening closed mindsets -the biggest bottleneck in achieving inclusive growth. By sharing the vision and process of my book “My Act of Heart”, will exemplify an inclusive work and how compassion can bind us all. While acknowledging the hurdles we face in this shift in mindsets, my talk shall break myths and leave the audience with focused and practical ways to be more compassionate for inclusive growth in wherever they are and whatever they do.
