22: Rippi Karda: I Am Unapologetically Me

My very accomplished guest, whose story is as much about her own success as about finding ways to help uplift others, candidly shares with me her motivations and convictions behind that aspiration, as well as, the journey that brought her to the successful place she is at currently.

You might as well take notes as you listen because Rippi goes into detail about what she recognizes as the key elements in achieving success.  While recounting her personal journey, she conveys that success is neither easy nor trivial, and is surely not a solitary path. Then, she not only shares what she has learned in her long and successful journey to be the important ingredients of anyone’s success, but also, emphasizes the importance of using the success anyone has achieved to bring others up and sharing the privileges, lessons learned, and influence acquired.
 
She then goes on to expressively describe her personal definition of her identity, where her Punjabi, Indian, and Canadian roots have melded into her strongly American identity. She even identifies the traits that make her truly American, albeit tongue-in-cheek. Her Go Big or Stay Home attitude, and her self-proclaimed ostentatiousness that she stoutly prides herself in, in her view, make her downright American! We also go into the perception of the gender role of a woman in America, and Rippi puts to rest any doubts that I may have had as to my sense of empowerment as a woman!

Rippi’s CliftonStrengths are Woo, Communication, Activator, Strategic and Futuristic. The following organizations have recognized her for her legal achievements: ROI-nj.com 2024 Influencers: Women in Business Award, Tri-County Bar Association Legal Excellence Award, Corporate Counsel Business Journal’s 2023 Inaugural Top 50 Women to Watch, NJBIZ - 2023 Leaders in Law Award, ROI-nj.com 2023 Women in Business Leaders Award, Rutgers Law School 2023 MAPS Groundbreaker Award, South Asian Bar Association of North America – 2022 Cornerstone Award, and the South Asian Bar Association of New Jersey – 2019 In House Counsel of the Year.
