Does anyone have any insight into logistics consulting and what that really means? Friend is currently in freight brokerage/ truckload sales, but looking to get more into operations/ process improvement. Any idea of what firms support this? Thanks!

There’s a good bit of logistics work in the federal space— military logistics as well as civil (think VA, NASA, FAA...). Lots of personal property management improvement work, modernization of inventory, workforce optimization.

Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.

Hi ladies!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!
