We’re excited to launch The Inner Game Podcast, where we explore the stories, lessons, and inner game strategies of leaders within the investment management industry.

In our first episode, Future IM/Pact Founder, Yolanda Beattie, sits down with Sonia Baillie, Head of Income Assets at Aware Super, for an inspiring conversation that’s sure to leave you reflecting on your own career and life journey.

Sonia dives into the challenges and triumphs she’s experienced in her career, offering candid insights on resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of teams and relationships. Whether you’re navigating the pressures of the investment world or seeking inspiration for personal growth, this episode offers something for everyone.

When reflecting on how she's navigated being a woman in a male-dominated industry, especially earlier in her career, Sonia shared one of her favourite quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." It's a powerful reminder to take control of your self-worth, no matter the circumstances.

Sonia’s "Top 3" favorites:

  • Favourite public thinker: Heather Cox-Richardson (a political historian who uses facts and history to make observations about contemporary American politics. Follow here)
  • Favourite book: Pride and Prejudice
  • Favourite podcast: Bounce Back with Dr. Andrew Rochford, episode 13 with Ben Crowe

Don’t miss this great first episode, which is packed with valuable takeaways for anyone looking to build a fulfilling career and life, anchored in the power of choice and resilience.
