Shavika shares how it was to be not American enough for the Americans, but not Indian enough for the Indians either. Coming from a family of strong-willed women who went against the 'norms' of expectation of women in their society, Shavika talks about how this helped her towards her own realisations and underlying passion for coaching. In this episode, we discuss The collective Asian Indian culture vs. the individualistic culture of America Embracing the open mindedness of American culture How do we make the traditional workplace less soul crushing? Do we need to be authentic in the work place? Is it inauthentic to have different personas for your social, professional and family circles?
