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:

  • Sejal realizing that litigation was a bad fit; she wanted to build workplace culture, not clean up messes
  • 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
