[Over a three-day induction event this month], we discussed climate change, gender equality, and the means to [build] an organisation as an entrepreneur. Being in the company of people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences, who have impacted lives with their passion, felt good. I am excited about my journey because I will be in the company of high achievers.”
