business development manager<\/a> in June of 2020, Micah was promoted to account manager in a matter of months. Demonstrating enormous potential, Micah was again promoted to be an agent business coach in May of 2021. She continues to serve in this position.<\/em><\/p>\n\u2014<\/p>\n
EL:<\/strong> Micah, having been friends for a while, it\u2019s so awesome to sit down with you in this setting. You\u2019re a bit of an England Logistics staple.<\/p>\nGiven your legacy at EL, can you tell me about your career progression?<\/p>\n
Micah:<\/strong> I have been at England for just over two years. I currently work as a business development coach for our agent division, specifically working with our parcel program. I’ve been doing that for just over a year. I just hit my one-year mark in the agent division about a week or two ago.<\/p>\nEL:<\/strong> That\u2019s great progress for a small period. Outside of those responsibilities, what do you love to do outside of work?<\/p>\nMicah:<\/strong> I would say that out of my favorite activities, playing soccer is the biggest one. I grew up playing soccer, have been since I was five! Besides that, I’ve gotten really into having a lot of plants in my house.<\/p>\nI really enjoy being home, but I’m also quite a social person and always up to do anything with friends. I like to go out to rivers, lakes, pools, go hiking–if I have friends that are interested in doing that, I’m there.<\/p>\n
Other favorites are going to the movies, being downtown on the weekends, bowling\u2026 really anything that is social and outside of the house.<\/p>\n
EL:<\/strong> You\u2019ve got quite an array of interests! With so much love for life, what has been your proudest accomplishment?<\/p>\nMicah:<\/strong> I recently got to a point where I was able to live completely on my own, which was a big accomplishment for me after living with roommates for a long time. I have a very strong sense of independence and I really like to have my own space.<\/p>\nGetting to a point in my career that allowed me to live comfortably on my own was a really big step for me. It’s not something that’s super common these days for people to do, especially early in their career.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s one thing I think I\u2019ll be forever proud to have done.<\/p>\n
EL:<\/strong> That is a huge landmark in life! Now speaking to the professional experience of your life, have you had any especially defining moments?<\/p>\nMicah:<\/strong> This is something I didn’t realize mattered to me until I became in this position. When I first moved over to agents, I started working under my director, Shalyse, and this was my first time having a director that was female. I’ve always worked under men, most of my coworkers were men, and I was comfortable with it. After I started working under Shalyse, I realized how impactful it was for me to see a woman be as successful as she is.<\/p>\nThis started accelerating my mindset toward my career in the future.<\/p>\n
