Episode 11: Leadership, Resilience & Self-Confidence with Monica Bajaj


Listen Later

In our last episode of the season, we speak with Monica Bajaj who tells of her experiences growing up in India, and of moving and working in the United States. It is a testimony of dealing with bias and overcoming doubts, weathering racism and immigrant status, and challenging culturally traditional roles. Join us as we discuss these topics and consider how we can impact the lives of others through leadership, resilience, and self-confidence.

Key Insights:

●  “To be a champion, compete; to be a great champion, compete with the best; but to be the greatest champion, compete with yourself.”

● “Never give up and hold on to it like Mumbai train”

● Invest, reflect, define and build a brand in/for yourself.


We'll be back in early 2023! Happy Holidays!
