Have you ever wished you could take extended time off to unplug or figure out what you want to do next with your life?
Today’s guest is Zohra Tejani and she did just that. After 14 years at Microsoft and more than 2 years as Assistant General Counsel at VMware, Zohra made the bold decision to take time off to reconsider what she really wanted.
You’ll hear the about doubts and fears that Zohra faced and moved through during this process as well as the realizations that she uncovered. If you’ve ever wondered if you can swerve at any moment in your career, today’s episode will make clear that the answer to that is a resounding YES!
What we cover in this episode:
• Zohra’s background including why she first went to law school and the career path that led her to where she is now
• Why her acceptance speech for the Rick Palmore Award at this year’s Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Alumni Symposium caused so much buzz
• The big swerve that Zohra recently made in her career and all of the fears she faced along the way
• What she learned about space, time, and perspective this year
• How her “sabbatical” resulted in a big decision that she’s announcing today
