In this conversation with Kamini Ramani, author of Lotus Leadership: A Modern Playbook of Ancient Wisdom, and Room to Read CEO Dr. Geetha Murali, Best Bookstore owner and legendary journalist Sarah Lacy will unpack their journeys to reveal the secret to owning your power.

You will learn how to build meaningful careers without sacrificing meaningful lives. Success is not choosing between ambition and rest, but developing a leadership approach that can be sustained over a lifetime. You will walk away with a deep insight into how leadership is the wisdom to know which part of yourself a particular moment, relationship, or season of life calls for.

Ramani has been called “a barrier-breaking former tech leader," and her new book called “a playbook about leadership for everyone.” Ramani interviewed more than 30 of the top female leaders of Indian heritage along with other women of color for her book and tells their stories, highlighting not just their successes but also unveiling how they got there. Notable names include fmr PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana and GirlswhoCode and MomsFirst founder Reshma Saujani.

Dr. Murali has been named a CNBC Changemaker. RoomtoRead delivers foundational learning to children worldwide. Under her watch, the organization has expanded its presence to 29 countries and benefited more than 60 million children to date. Join us for a rewarding and fascinating conversation among tech and business leaders about leadership, success and life.
