#19 Lakshmi Natarajan on Courage, Leading (Corporate) Teams Successfully, and Raising Your Kids to Become Global Citizens
#19 Lakshmi Natarajan on Courage, Leading (Corporate) Teams Successfully, and Raising Your Kids to Become Global Citizens Lakshmi Natarajan (travelplusthem.com) is an Indian-American corporate executive, entrepreneur, consultant, world traveler, advisory board member, and most importantly, a daughter, wife, and mother. Lakshmi has over 20 years of experience as a corporate executive and has worked in leadership positions across marketing, sales, strategy, and consulting with companies like American Express, Accenture, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Compass, and numerous clients in various industries. She recently founded two businesses: Travel Plus Them, a coaching and education company focused on helping families raise global citizens, and Excelador, a business consulting and advisory firm. She has traveled to over 60 countries, over 30 with her young children. Lakshmi's motivation to build her businesses was born from her strengths, experiences, and life priorities. She reached a point where she was unable to give 100% to any aspect of her life—career, family, or herself. This is something many people, especially mothers, can relate to—wondering if there is something better out there that integrates life values and priorities. Her insights on the path to entrepreneurship, family travel, and raising global citizens have been featured in New York Weekly, Los Angeles Wire, Miami Wire, and US Reporter. Lakshmi believes in children experiencing and appreciating the world’s diversity and inspiring other moms on their journey to raising inclusive global citizens. She currently resides in Miami, FL with her husband and her 2 daughters. ——— If you enjoy the podcast please consider joining us in spreading the message: Share this episode with a friend who you know could really be helped by this content or leave a review for the podcast on Apple Podcasts.
