Cricket fanatic Anita Shah is a qualified lawyer and self-confessed perfectionist. Anita hopes, one day, to complete a chick-lit novel and launch a new business providing emotional, psychological and spiritual therapy. She is inspired by James Caan for believing that you can be successful by investing in relationships and being nice to people, rather than being ruthless or devious. Anita considers herself to be a humanitarian with a 'Bridget Jones' alter-ego.

She says: "My CV is strong. I am articulate. I can deal with questions and make impactful statements. Many lawyers can't. People want to chat with me."

Impactful is a non-existent word. Presumably coined by corporate advertising, marketing and business drones to make their work sound vaguely important. Expect early exit and displays of muppetry.

its sounds a bit like this girl doesnt know what she wants - to be a lawyer, to write, to be chatty, to be a therapist (which i believe involves listening so goes against chatting!) - make your mind up love!

Hmm. Business Strategist yet trained as a lawyer? Really? Sounds like one of those dodgy job titles that means trotting out big management-speak words.

If she really wants to run a therapy business she needs to get out quickly and be a therapist, then write a book about it.

Not a heavy-weight in my opinion
