0:00:04.321,0:00:06.876
My name is Sonal,[br]and I am an associate

0:00:06.876,0:00:10.293
in the Corporate[br]and Investment Bank.

0:00:10.293,0:00:13.793
I am a part of the[br]Credit Risk Team.

0:00:13.793,0:00:16.608
My department undertakes[br]annual reviews,

0:00:16.608,0:00:20.168
monitoring clients that[br]the bank has lent out to.

0:00:20.168,0:00:23.180
Just to make sure that[br]we, as an organization,

0:00:23.180,0:00:25.730
are still comfortable[br]with that lending.

0:00:25.730,0:00:28.055
I have been with[br]the same department

0:00:28.055,0:00:29.676
for the last five years,

0:00:29.676,0:00:32.125
but just because you are[br]working in the same department

0:00:32.125,0:00:34.178
doesn't mean you are[br]doing the same role.

0:00:34.178,0:00:37.085
I worked with the[br]Diversified Team,

0:00:37.085,0:00:39.916
the Telecom Media[br]and Technology Team,

0:00:39.916,0:00:43.470
and I'm leading the Real Estate[br]and the Transportation Team.

0:00:43.470,0:00:45.720
This is not all just luck.

0:00:45.720,0:00:49.450
I had a conversation with my[br]manager about how I would

0:00:49.450,0:00:51.800
like more responsibilities[br]to manage a team.

0:00:51.800,0:00:54.086
I think you have done[br]a fantastic job last time,

0:00:54.086,0:00:55.470
the campus [br]presentation.

0:00:55.470,0:00:56.311
Thank you.

0:00:56.311,0:00:58.520
My manager said[br]that you need to be

0:00:58.520,0:01:00.888
the absolute best[br]at what you do.

0:01:00.888,0:01:04.526
And if you do that, then we[br]will make sure that you achieve

0:01:04.526,0:01:06.095
what you want [br]to achieve.

0:01:06.095,0:01:08.083
And that's what I did.

0:01:10.034,0:01:15.700
From a young age, my true[br]passion has been dancing.

0:01:15.700,0:01:20.063
As soon as music plays,[br]my feet start tapping.

0:01:20.063,0:01:22.896
I am a trained classical dancer.

0:01:22.896,0:01:26.843
Every single weekend, I spend[br]about three or four hours,

0:01:26.843,0:01:28.760
just dancing the Bharatanatyam,

0:01:28.760,0:01:31.375
which is an Indian[br]classical dance.

0:01:31.375,0:01:37.033
It's not to everyone's taste,[br]but to me it is pure honey.

0:01:38.043,0:01:41.638
I know that I am just one small[br]part of the organization,

0:01:41.638,0:01:45.148
and my contribution might[br]be a drop in the ocean,

0:01:45.148,0:01:48.198
but that drop is important.

0:01:48.198,0:01:49.305
I matter.

0:01:49.305,0:01:51.813
I'm an essential part[br]of this organization.

0:01:51.813,0:01:54.366
My managers[br]convinced me of that.

0:01:54.366,0:01:57.023
The people around me[br]convinced me of that.

0:01:57.023,0:02:00.670
The work that I do[br]convinces me of that.

0:02:01.395,0:02:07.000
I matter to J.P. Morgan as much[br]as J.P. Morgan matters to me.
