Her Interview

Ten minutes with Shri

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Retail industry is really interesting. You have your end customers and internal customers. When you feel imposter syndrome sink in, make sure you get over it. It will keep coming but digest it and still show up. Once you start being really good at the skill of showing up, your imposter syndrome will go down.

02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

The one thing that I want to hold onto as a value for the rest of my life is to make sure that I do ethical and morally right things as I proceed with my career. I think that is very important.
