The most difficult part of the equality for women movement is already behind us. Today, women have many more development opportunities in professional fields. More doors are opened, although there are still many industries where the process of adaptation has been difficult due to certain factors (including security and safety issues in the trucking industry). Nevertheless, many organizations have already made changes and women are taking important leadership roles. We need to believe in ourselves and work hard to build our mindset and self-esteem, not just to fulfill our dreams, but to also have a more positive outlook on life.

At GLT Logistics, 61% of our talent are women, 62% of the leadership roles are filled by women, and we have been empowering them with insightful tips and practical knowledge to remove barriers so we can achieve gender equality, spark the innovation in our community, and boost everyone’s development. Lina Acosta, GLT’s Chief Marketing Officer, will help you to:

  • Learn the importance self-confidence plays in the workplace and the impact it has had in men and women over the years
  • Understand how to changing our position from victims to powerful human beings
  • Cultivate self-confidence in younger generations.
