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 Wood Masterclass Facilitator  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.

After 25 years working across the board in blue-chip, non-profit and civil service organisations she now provides support to businesses looking to evolve and become great places for people to work in and with. Having worked with a wide variety of clients from school-age students to senior 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, education systems and the arts. When she’s not working, she and her classic car Monty Morgan can be found zipping around the English countryside.

Professor Meredith A. Crowley, Professor of Economics at Cambridge University, will give the 2025 IFS Annual Lecture on "Trade Wars and the Future of Globalisation". The world enjoyed a dramatic fall in policy barriers to international trade and rising international integration of national markets throughout the 1990s and 2000s. However, since 2010, trade integration has stalled, with the global trade to GDP ratio hovering around 30 percent. Over the last fifteen years, the world has witnessed Britain’s exit from the EU, the 2018 US-China Trade War, major trade sanctions against Russia, and, most recently, the threat of broader American trade restrictions. This lecture will examine recent evidence on exporting firms in multiple countries and suggest new approaches to evaluating the price and welfare impacts of market fragmentation due to Brexit and the US-China Trade War. Meredith A. Crowley is a Professor of Economics at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow of St. John’s College Cambridge, President of the International Economics and Finance Society, and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR – London). Her research, focused on international trade, trade policy, and exchange rates has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals including the American Economic Review and the Journal of International Economics. She has appeared or been cited in over 100 print and broadcast media outlets including the BBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times and National Public Radio (US). Prior to arriving at Cambridge in 2013, Crowley worked in the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. She has taught at Georgetown University, the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and Nanjing University. She has presented her research at central banks and international institutions around the world, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. Crowley received her MPP from Harvard University and her PhD in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
