Ganga Young Ceo Leadership Foundation

You can find us at 34 Lal Bagh in Lucknow. It’s an old building, but it has a lot of character, even if the stairs creak every time someone walks up. We call it the Ganga Young Ceo Leadership Foundation. It sounds like a big title, but really we just spend our time talking to young people about how to run things and take charge of their own lives. We don't have a fancy boardroom with a mahogany table. We usually just pull up some plastic chairs and sit in a circle. It’s more about the conversation than the setting. Lucknow is a great place for this because there are so many bright kids who just need a bit of a nudge in the right direction. We don't give them a polished sales pitch. We just tell them how it is and what kind of hard work it takes to actually lead something. Sometimes the street noise from Lal Bagh makes it hard to hear, but we just talk louder. We aren't some big corporate training center. We’re just people who have been through it ourselves and want to share what we learned. We keep it simple and honest. Most of the time, that’s exactly what the kids are looking for when they come through our door at number 34. It is just plain talk.
