What started as an International Women’s Month idea turned into a conversation that feels relevant far beyond March.
In this episode of Truck Chat, Lauren Fletcher, vice president of content at Bobit Business Media and lead editor of Work Truck, takes an unconventional approach to reflection by interviewing herself. The result is a candid conversation about what she has seen over nearly 20 years working across fleet and journalism, from the progress women have made to the challenges that still remain.
Throughout the discussion, Fletcher shares her perspective on the growing visibility of women in fleet, the difference between representation and real influence, and why speaking up still matters. She also reflects on what she hopes to see more of in the years ahead, including stronger mentorship, broader ideas of leadership, and more women feeling empowered to take up space without shrinking to fit the room.
Thoughtful, self-aware, and intentionally a little awkward, this episode offers both perspective and encouragement for anyone thinking about leadership, career growth, and the work still ahead.
In this episode, viewers will hear more about how visibility for women in fleet is changing, why having a seat at the table is not always enough, what Fletcher has learned about using her voice, and what she hopes the next generation of women in the industry will experience.
