S2-Ep 15 EPIC Solutions with Parul Patel
Manage episode 488092927 series 3494551
In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Parul Patel, a lawyer and founder of the legal and sports business consultancy, Fuel+Move.
Parul explains that her problem-solving prowess stems from a combination of innate curiosity and extensive professional nurturing, particularly during her time at Nike, where there was a strong expectation to "find a way." She emphasises that this skill is not just about legal acumen but also involves understanding people, reading between the lines, and adapting solutions to diverse stakeholder needs. She learns by doing, analysing situations retrospectively, and even drawing inspiration from unrelated activities, a concept she terms "career yoga" – creating space to explore new experiences and skills without a rigid agenda.
The discussion concludes with Parul sharing a quote that deeply resonates with her from Dr Sunita Sah: “Defiance is acting in accordance with your true values when there is pressure to do otherwise.”
