Sophie used to live with anxiety and a lack of confidence but she credits the Duke of Edinburgh award with helping her establish a rewarding career within the police.

Sophie had wanted to be a police officer form an early age - she had been attacked by a dog when she was younger and the police officer who helped was kind and inspired her to pursue a career that involved helping people in some way. However, whilst in school Sophie鈥檚 anxiety made her believe this wasn鈥檛 possible - she had trouble speaking to people and missed out on school trips as a result of her anxiety. Sophie demonstrates strong leadership skills within her role in the police on a daily basis now. She shares tips with Katie and Dr Radha on how to develop leadership skills on this week's podcast. .
