This period helped me to come out of my comfort zone and experiment. These 3 years abroad and 4 years of entreprenuership years offered me a chance of experiencing the world, travelling and making fri...ends with various cultural background, motherhood, entrepreneurship. It prepared me for dealing with the unexpected, overcoming challenges and gave a sense of completeness and belief in self that I could not have consciously planned. It was essentially the time of my life where I connected the Known with the Unknown.

Networking & Social Interaction

Priority and Commitment

Its the most precious Milestone of My Life. It was a new journey where I was learning, faltering, experiencing and correcting myself together with a New Born. I took a break from my 8+ years of Corpor...ate Life during this phase to enjoy everybit of my Son's growing up.I have heard many people comment on work-life balance. However, I believe that it is never possible to completely switch off one and enter the other. I believe that it is more to do with prioritizing and commitment to that priority. I am, thus, grateful to both my colleagues at work and my family for understanding, supporting and believing in me. To sum it up, I feel I never took a sabbatical or a break because I never stopped learning and delivering on the priorities that I had set for myself, be it as a mother or an entrepreneur.
