And my mother is a wonderful cook. And I guess these all resulted in me being the happy kid who loved sweets and was a bit chubby. My weight didn’t really bother me being a teenager. I’ve heard others say…

“Why should an I&O leader care about diversity and inclusion? Why do you need to be involved in this at all?
