In this episode I’m excited to sit down with Mollie Stoker, General Counsel and Company Secretary at Britvic. Mollie has had such an interesting and varied career but what comes across most strongly is her strength combined with her authenticity. She has moved into leadership roles while demonstrating how quiet power can be just as effective as noisy. For anyone wondering how a woman can succeed without sacrificing her femininity, she is a great role model. During the episode Mollie reflects on her early career, the challenges of balancing work and family, and the pivotal choice to move from private practice to an in-house role. She emphasises resilience, emotional intelligence, and the power of coaching in her personal and professional development. This episode offers valuable insights into navigating career transitions, the importance of asking questions and maintaining a positive and energetic leadership style.
