Aarathi's KeyNote

Being resilient in the face of challenges that are out of your control is tough. Coupled with the pressures in the workplace and society around speaking up about these challenges, keeping hope and joy alive is an uphill climb. Drawing on her journey into motherhood via IVF, Aarathi talks frankly about the real experience from a patient's point of view, about holding space for those around you to help them find the courage to speak up.

While finding the strength to forge ahead and thrive is a personal journey, Aarathi helps you see the clearing through the rain and seamlessly applies these thoughts to the broader corporate journey. Come listen, and be reminded that the human spirit is stronger than you think it is.
