#217 Progression with Sophie Williams

THE SQUIGGLY CAREER
About this episode

In our final episode of our Ask The Expert series, Helen speaks to author Sophie Williams about progression at work.


Sophie is the author of two books; Anti-Racist Ally: An Introduction to Action and Activism and Millennial Black which looks at how Black women’s intersectional identities shape their experiences of work. Her career has included working in leading advertising agencies and running her own agency Blanket Fort. Together they talk about how the glass cliff holds people back and what actions can be taken to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to progress at work.
