September’s Professional Development event at Peterbilt was an absolute hit.
In collaboration with Peterbilt WIN, who just celebrated their 10 year anniversary, we heard from co-founder and Senior Engineering Manager of Operations, Michele Rodgers. With 30 years of experience, Michele is the first female section manager at Peterbilt, oversees 7 supervisors and 90 team members, and is a passionate advocate for women in the workplace.
She shared her insights on modern leadership, including:
⚙️ Understanding DISC personality profiles
⚙️ Insights from leadership 360 assessments
⚙️ How to give feedback that sticks
⚙️ Adapting to different communication and leadership styles
⚙️ Using a networking Venn diagram to identify gaps in your connections
⚙️ Practical tips for building a successful career
⚙️ How generational differences impact learning (ever heard of micro-learning?)
She also spoke about how technology has impacted the workplace, explained what resident engineering is, and even shared a breakdown of how she spends her time at work.
Everyone left inspired, energized, and ready to put these leadership lessons into practice.
👏 Huge thank you to Peterbilt WIN, everyone who attended, and especially to Michele Rodgers for an unforgettable evening!
