75. Live Your Eulogy Life, Not Your Resume Life with Irma Shrivastava, Co-Founder of India Rooted and former Chief Marketing Officer of Randstad

Are you living your resume or eulogy life?

For this Women of Color Rise episode, I talk with Irma Shrivastava, Co-Founder of India Rooted and former Chief Marketing Officer of Randstad, the world’s largest human resources services firm. Irma and I discuss David Brooks’ advice to live your eulogy life, not your resume life.

How can we live our eulogy life?

1. Know that your career is not one path but multiple paths. Early in your career you might focus on skill building. But as you progress, you’ll want to learn more about yourself and your purpose and lean more into this.

2. Given the choice between courage and comfort, choose courage. This might mean being uncomfortable, but discomfort is often a sign of growth.

3. Consider your legacy and how you want to make a difference in the world. Irma and I discuss our shared legacies of helping others be at the table. This includes being on boards and our gratitude for being part of the Stakeholder Leadership and Governance Institute.

Irma’s eulogy life includes co-founding India Rooted. It is a two-week experience that takes Indian-American teens to India with the objective of engaging them in cultural experiences that will connect them to their ancestral roots. The inaugural cohort launches in June 2024. More information can be found at indiarooted.com.
