Makes you happy? There’s still a lot to do, and time is running out. Seeing injustices, poverty, and suffering motivates me to keep going. I always fight for the underdog. It makes me very happy to throw a dinner party, as I love seeing people enjoy themselves and what I cooked for them, What advice would you give your 10-year-old self? Trust your gut, and speak up. Be outspoken. In contrast to how I was taught as a child to be quiet, to not step on toes. If you could make 1 global change – what would it be? ALL LEADERS, OUT! Start of with a clean slate of heads of state. Empathy is a requirement to be a head of state. What are your Top 3 achievements? 1) Getting through boarding school as a vegetarian in Africa. 2) Making a career out of something that I was told was only a hobby. 3) I BECAME the CEO that my mother always wanted me to marry! What does sustainability mean for you? Taking stock of what’s present; Having a roadmap for the future; Making sure to leave a legacy that was better than what was handed to me What was the most important event/influence that changed your perspective? When I was 12, I had a visceral experience as I saw one of my favorite nuns watching a priest giving a mass. I was able to clearly recognize her conflicted emotions by the feelings unconsciously expressed on her face – those of both love and the pain - unrequited love. At that moment, I realized that I could not be a nun. Is there anything else you would like to share with us? Together, we’re going to change the world…one challenge at a time. We will leave a better legacy than what was handed to us. Calling all Sideshifters! Know somebody who should share insights and effective solutions as one of our Sideshifters?
