“Challenges are just opportunities. It’s an opportunity to show how great, beautiful, or talented you are. Don’t ever let them define you. Own them and be willing to overcome them with grace.”
Director of Sales
I lead sales for a supply chain and logistics organization.
My days involve a lot of interaction with my employees. I lead a team that is responsible for our most important customers, so I do a lot of coaching throughout the day. I also work with a lot of data and analytics to help inform our conversations and decisions.
Here's the first step for everyone
The name of the game is intentionality. It's rare that things will be handed to you. You have to actively seek out opportunity. Look internally and figure out what makes you happy. If that's the logistics industry, there are plenty of entry points, from business to truck driving. I also recommend finding a mentor who has taken a similar path.
