27: How to Find the Right Support at Every Level to Become a Senior Leader with VP Chumi Khurana

SisterSmart Leadership

As women, we easily fall into the mentality of “we have to do it all.”

But we can’t rise up without the right support. (Or if you somehow muster up the determination to do so, you’ll end up burned out and unsatisfied pretty quickly juggling all those responsibilities).

In this episode, Chumi Khurana, vice president of sales and marketing at J& J Oncology, joins Jill to share how she leaned on support systems from getting started in her career all the way up into senior leadership.

She shares insights about how our workforce is changing to benefit different working styles, the importance of support and the different shapes it can take, and how you don’t have to fit the mold to earn a promotion.

04:48 — How one woman's encouragement inspired Chumi to go into pharmaceutical sales

10:05 — How you can find your own authentic leadership approach without feeling like you have to conform to a mold

13:44 — Why making the decision to go part-time to start a family children doesn’t have to be a career setback and how we as leaders can find solutions for ourselves or our team

16:44 — How you can build the support to raise your family and thrive in your career without having to “do it all”
