Outside the Lanes with Sophie Pascoe

I am beyond proud to present you with my new podcast, ‘Outside the Lanes’ partnered by Westpac New Zealand. To take on any challenge successfully, first you need to take care of yourself. As a Westpac Ambassador, I’ve been exploring specific areas of growth to inspire you and I to achieve whatever we set our sights on. Outside the Lanes is a podcast that focuses on key themes that are very personal to me – such as leadership, values, balance, health and more. I have carefully selected mentors who are successful in their field to have beautiful conversations with. In every episode I will be asking a new interviewee about them; uncovering their learnings, their challenges, their wins, their journey – ultimately getting under the skin of what it takes to be in their lane.
