Lawyer on Air

This show highlights the diversity of legal career paths, in particular, for women in Japan. Catherine introduces us to some fascinating people, the amazing things they have achieved or are achieving, and what they learned along the way, all while making us feel like we are in the room with them having a glass of our favorite wine.

As someone in a career outside law I’ve still found the stories of the guests inspirational and in almost every single episode there is a hidden valuable lesson (or lessons) for all of us who are trying to make sense of the world out there! Keep up the great effort Catherine. This podcast is a gem.

It’s no wonder that this law podcast is winning awards. What I like most about it is that Catherine creates a friendly atmosphere in which her guests feel at ease to lift the lids on their resumes and speak frankly about how they got to where they are in their careers. I think the podcast will be especially interesting to people (women and men) considering a career in law as well as people already in law who are chewing over where to head next in the legal world.

Definitely not limited to lawyers, guest share so much insights on what can be done inside an organization to align personal interests, values or callings with the company's environment and objectives. Hitomi's take on the importance and benefits of knowing your value really resonated, in my field of regulatory affairs too quantifying results is difficult. I really loved the idea of the diversity calendar, useful, community building and a good icebreaker! Well, just grab a glass of wine, sit comfortably and listen to the podcast!
