I find this interesting & troubling, especially in light of the post below ... https://lnkd.in/grdMgniH Ellen Voie testified as an expert witness for CRST The Transportation Solution, Inc. and one of their male trainers accused of sexual assault against a female trainee. Let me get this straight ... she testified as an "expert witness" #AGAINST a woman that accused her male trainer of sexually assaulting her while in the truck !! At that time, she was Founder/President of Women In Trucking. The case was eventually settled for $5 Million ... https://lnkd.in/gT4rsBP6 Here is an excerpt from Ellen Voie's deposition in Jane Doe v CRST Van Expedited Jane Doe Lawyer Question: You’ve been retained as an expert witness in this case.

Great advice, Lauren Cristella - thank you for your leadership - love the opening: “I’ve never thought that I could do everything. But no matter where I am, I’ve always known that I can do the next thing. And — even better — I can equip others to do the same. And that’s where change really starts.” #changemakers #democracymatters #womeninleadership

I like this news very much. And can say that my small experience of jointly leading an organisation with the powerhouse that is Victoria Barlow has been overwhelmingly positive - both for the business and me as an individual (can't speak for Vic but hope she feels the same ??). When I first started toying with the idea of finding a business partner, a few people questioned the logic - isn't it better for you to remain the boss and to grow the team beneath you? Why would you want to share what you've worked so hard to build? One person said my ego would regret it. ?? They were all wrong. Sharing power and decision-making. Sharing risk and reward. Sharing rants and laughs. Co-leading Agenda hasn't reduced my portion of the pie, it has enhanced it. So I'll be cheerleading ActionAid and its co-chief executives from the sidelines and looking forward to seeing the positive impact of this decision. And if anyone else is thinking about introducing co-leadership roles to their organisation and would like to talk through the pros and cons, I'd be happy to share my experiences, if helpful.
