Our guest today is Sejal Thakkar, a former employment law attorney, a 2X TEDx speaker, and the Founder and Chief Civility Officer at TrainXtra, a woman/minority- owned training consulting firm, where she helps leaders create positive, safe, and respectful workplaces through customized training and coaching.
In this episode, we discuss:

- Following your interests to build skills and open doors
- Leveraging your legal background in a business
- Leaning into a growth mindset to move through imposter syndrome
- Balancing purpose-driven work, family and finances
- Navigating a non-linear path from employment to entrepreneurship
- Relying on your resourcefulness and self-trust rather than avoiding all risks
- The importance of networking and planting seeds for your long-term career growth
