Raj Kaur joked that “sometimes it’s nice to be late to the party and watch everyone else being drunk”, a playful reminder to us mature students that it’s never too late, and imposter syndrome doesn’t define the outcome. Possible the most impactful talk for me personally so far!

“I want the power” -Raj Kaur shares the importance of thinking big! #ltjmw
