This month we speak to Jo Farmer who is Joint Managing Partner at law firm Lewis Silkin. Jo has had a phenomenal career as a lawyer and has moved up the ranks to take on the role of Joint Managing Partner 8 months ago following over 15 years as a Partner there. Jo also has twin boys who are now 15 and was promoted to Partnership whilst on maternity leave.
Jo had very humble beginnings and we loved talking to Jo about social mobility, what it is like having twins and her thoughts on working 4 days a week. This podcast is filled with practical tips for working parents, including the help she found from a business coach, walking out the front door at pick up time and understanding that careers are not a linear path. Importantly, Jo has demonstrated visible change as a leader and is a huge inspiration to us.
