EP. 45 | Sujata Sharma | The Legal Life

Life as a lawyer can be hard at the best of times, but lasting for three decades is a show of true resolve. In this excellent episode, Sujata Sharma (Legal Advisor at Skanska) describes how she started out as one of the few South Asian women working in the City. Sujata talks about how the importance of diversity and why it is far more than just a box-ticking exercise; how having a forward-thinking and supportive partner provided a strong helping hand for her own career; and the ways in which self-care and exercise have proved invaluable to her mental and physical health.
