When we imagine a welcoming person, we likely envision a warm, inviting personality. These people are affable, approachable, and an automatic ally. Though Lisa certainly fits the bill, she also enlarges on the adjective in her approach to life\u2014welcoming all good, all gain, and all growth into her story. If you\u2019re fortunate enough to be penciled into this narrative, you\u2019ll find a wonderful story with a bright protagonist.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lisa<\/span>: <\/span><\/strong>Let me try and keep it<\/span> to<\/span> a 30,000<\/span> ft.<\/span> overvie<\/span>w. <\/span>So<\/span>, <\/span>a bit about my<\/span> background<\/span>:<\/span> I graduated from <\/span>Utah <\/span>S<\/span>tate in food s<\/span>cience<\/span>,<\/span> chemistry and<\/span> nutrition. <\/span>In fact, one of my favorite parts about England is <\/span>being on the wellness committee.<\/span> Anyway, <\/span>I started working for Smith’s <\/span>F<\/span>ood and <\/span>D<\/span>rug centers i<\/span>n a <\/span>distribution center<\/span>. I did that for eight years<\/span>, a<\/span>nd then I did a lot of d<\/span>ifferent things between<\/span> then<\/span> and <\/span>now<\/span>. Eventually,<\/span> I was actually<\/span> recruited<\/span> through<\/span> LinkedIn<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n
L<\/span>ogistics is something t<\/span>hat<\/span> people <\/span>don\u2019t <\/span>really<\/span> think about<\/span>,<\/span> like <\/span>how we get <\/span>the <\/span>food that’s on our plate<\/span>, <\/span>or<\/span> the furniture that’s in our homes and things.<\/span> <\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
EL<\/span><\/strong>:<\/strong> T<\/span>hat’s wonderful. <\/span>It\u2019s <\/span>always fascinating to hear the diversit<\/span>y of previous career experience<\/span> from <\/span>such talented individuals. Though there is some overlap between the <\/span>logistics industry<\/span> and nutrition <\/span>industry,<\/span> I’m curious to hear what specifically <\/span>appealed to you, especially culturally<\/span>,<\/span> about England <\/span>Logistics.<\/span> W<\/span>hat <\/span>was it that really attracted you?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Lisa<\/span>:<\/span><\/strong> Much<\/span> like any<\/span> other<\/span> interview<\/span> I\u2019d <\/span>prepare for<\/span>,<\/span> I pulled<\/span> England L<\/span>ogistics up online and was scouring <\/span>through the websit<\/span>e. W<\/span>hen<\/span> I noticed the<\/span> core values<\/span>, I<\/span> read about<\/span> the importance of<\/span> career, open <\/span>communication, acc<\/span>ountability, <\/span>celebration, and hard work.<\/span> A<\/span>ll<\/span> of these things really appealed to me. <\/span>Also<\/span>, I was reaching a<\/span> point in my life where work<\/span>–<\/span>life balance was<\/span> becoming<\/span> very important. <\/span>England <\/span>was the<\/span> whole package, but that in particular was really what drew me h<\/span>ere<\/span>.<\/span> England <\/span>L<\/span>ogistics really <\/span><\/span>lives and breathes their core values<\/span>, and <\/span>that has really impressed me<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
EL<\/span><\/strong>:<\/strong> <\/span>D<\/span>efinitely. I mean, <\/span>t<\/span>his interview i<\/span>n itself is a<\/span> t<\/span>estament to what I’m about to say, but you are the <\/span>epitome of those values<\/span>.<\/span> By<\/span> grace of us being<\/span> here is evidence of that.<\/span> But for you now, given all that <\/span>you’ve become and all that you are, what is important to you now? What are your priorities? <\/span>I<\/span>f <\/span>they <\/span>have changed over time, why <\/span>have they?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Lisa<\/span>:<\/span> <\/strong>I think one core value that’s the most important<\/span> to <\/span>me is<\/span> accountability. An<\/span>d I think that having that <\/span>as<\/span> a part of our culture<\/span> has impacted me personally.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n
Accountability<\/span> is something t<\/span>hat<\/span> drive<\/span>
