Asking for what you need at work with Sonia Astill

The Equality Conversation

Our focus for this Season is ‘Fitting Life and Work Together’ and I’ll be talking to some incredible women about their careers, work, family and how they juggle everything life throws at us. Today I’m welcoming the wonderful Sonia Astill as my guest. Sonia is the Chief People Officer at Wickes and has an established career in HR in the retail sector. I have got to know Sonia and her team over the last few years delivering our modern leadership programmes to Wickes. Sonia is also a single mum to 2 boys and today we’ll be talking about ‘Asking for what you need at work’.
The Confidence Conversation podcast with Joy Burnford explores the world of women, work and what it takes to feel more confident. Each episode offers inspiration, stories and light-hearted conversations with amazing women and experts from around the world.
A lack of confidence is not a crime. So, if you need some motivation, inspiration or a boost of confidence, grab a cuppa, go for a dog walk, or escape for a drive and join us for today’s conversation about confidence.
