About this podcast
Today's workplace demands a lot from us, but our identities and well-being shouldn’t be up for negotiation. The truth is, embracing your individuality can actually be the key to building a successful career where you can thrive. On Working Your Way, you’ll dive into intimate conversations with leaders who have chosen to challenge the outdated standards and “shoulds” - from those who have shifted perspectives on what leadership really looks like, to those who have carved their own unique career paths. After each episode, host Sandhya Sudhakar – founder of Self At Work, reformed corporate ladder climber, and lifelong student of self-discovery – and her guests will leave you with a renewed sense of inspiration and practical tools you can implement in your own life and career. Whether you want to advance your career in corporate or build something brand new, let's embark on a journey to discover how you can show up authentically in your career—by working your way.
