Everywhere and Nowhere
Notes de l’épisode
Ingrid Tappin’s story moves across countries, careers, identities, and communities, but one thread keeps returning: the search for belonging.
In this episode of Bennu, Ben Brink and Alex Baker-Friesen speak with Ingrid about growing up across cultures, moving from media and entrepreneurship into leadership and inclusion, and eventually founding Diverse Leaders in Tech.
Ingrid reflects on what it means to have a “patchwork identity,” why lived experience can become a source of strength, and how the tension between who we are and how the world sees us can shape the way we grow and lead.
The conversation also turns to internationals building a life in the Netherlands, the difficulty of starting again in a new context, and why belonging is not something we create alone.
Ingrid Tappin is the founder of Diverse Leaders in Tech and author of Exceptionals: How to Turn Identity Into Your Greatest Leadership Edge.
Hosted by Ben Brink and Alex Baker-Friesen.
