Sejal Thakkar is the Founder of Train Xtra. Dubbing herself "Chief Civility Officer", Sejal is not your average employment law attorney!

Her highly experiential customized workshops tailored to bring the courtroom to the training room in an interactive, engaging environment that favors human stories over compliance checklists.
