Own Your Success is delighted to bring you the 'Bitesize Masterclass' with
Sophie Chapman.
Not everyone has the flexibility to step away from the office for in-person
events or dedicate extended periods from their packed schedules for full or
half-day sessions.
So we've put together our 'Bitesize Masterclasses' to help assistants develop
and learn from professionals such as Sophie - shorter sessions, same big impact!

Bitesize Masterclass with Sophie Chapman
Sophie Chapman
EA to Steven Bartlett
Although Sophie initially aspired to be a talent agent, she swiftly realised
that her career passions lay within the administrative/operational aspects of
working life.
Following her graduation in Entertainment Management from LIPA in 2008, she
gained extensive work experience across renowned entities such as Sony BMG and
Sky One, operating within the spheres of TV, music, radio, and the events
industry. Her pivotal entry into a PA role came while supporting musician Eliza
Doolittle.
After five years, Sophie opted to move home to Liverpool and accept a contract
supporting Sir Dave Brailsford of Team Sky. Once complete, Sophie received an
offer for a position based in the US with an A-list musician. However, her
journey led her to discover her "forever role", providing support to Steven
Bartlett.
Steven, the Founder and former Group CEO of Social Chain, is a multifaceted
individual—a published author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and presently, the
youngest-ever Dragon on BBC's Dragon's Den. Sophie has been instrumental as
Steven's Executive Assistant, operating on a global scale, in both private and
corporate realms for six years.

Kate will aid the facilitation of this Bitesize Masterclass, ensuring that
crucial topics are covered while prioritising an environment where every
participant feels acknowledged, valued, and heard throughout the session.
Kate is a business owner, qualified coach, consultant, facilitator, trainer,

evolve and become great places for people to work in and with.

executives, she has been designing and running workshops, seminars and classes
in person or via web events since she left long commutes and corporate roles
behind in 2014 when she created her first two businesses. Her passion is
improving working relationships between roles and functions and supporting
people to discover their best selves at work. She does this in the automotive
industry, financial services, medical teams, charities, global media, retail,
