Our May 3rd meeting began with an interesting leader profile by Farryl who spoke about Indira Nooyi, the CEO who revolutionized Pepsico. Indira Nooyi’s goal was to improve the healthiness of the food manufactured by Pepsico and to support environmental sustainability.  

During her speech, Saumya described our increased dependence on smartphones by interweaving humorous encounters with her parents in India.  She highlighted ways we can reduce our dependence on smartphones. 

Grace presented her speech on how hope is a feeling which can be manifested through goal setting, having a roadmap, and willpower.  

Preetha led us through an engaging and thoughtful round of table topics on the theme of “How to stop and smell the roses”. Our members and guests shared their views on how to slow down, be present, and enjoy life. We were encouraged to use the word of the day, “delightful”, throughout the meeting.
