Negli ultimi anni, il ruolo che la fiducia gioca nel percorso di carriera di una persona è diventato in qualche modo un punto focale. Ma è evidente che la stessa definizione di fiducia, e come viene elaborata, proiettata e percepita dai due generi, è diversa. Jayshree ha infranto i confini, personalmente e professionalmente, per tutta la sua vita. Lei afferma che con l'età e l'esperienza ha scoperto il suo proprio ciclo virtuoso - azione, successo, fiducia! Jayshree incoraggia il pubblico a trovare il proprio ciclo virtuoso che permette loro di rimanere autentici al proprio marchio di fiducia e avere carriere soddisfacenti basate su STEM.
