Proceedings of the Guest lecture :
Laura began with a Bang with the recital of "SAM-I-AM" an ingenuous approach to make us realize that to accomplish anything in life, the foremost important thing is to never-give-up, to the degree of constant nagging. The lecture was more on how an entrepreneur should evolve, and not much on leadership capabilities. But nevertheless, we were entertained to a lively show by Laura, and there were definitely a few points worth noting from her lecture.
