EP23 Sonya Barlow on Shame, Feminism and Unconscious Bias

My lovely guest this week is Sonya Barlow, TEDxSpeaker, diversity and inclusion consultant and founder of Like Minded Females. In this episode, Sonya tells us how she found her voice and began confronting difficult topics of diversity and inclusion at work. Sonya tells us her take on failure and how that can help us all to gather data that will ultimately lead us to success. Plus we explore unconscious bias and the need to create safe spaces to confront tricky topics without judgement. Enjoy!
