with non-Native English Speakers
As a global consultant, I have had the privilege of working inside many organizations
throughout my career. This allowed for the observation of various cultures, both
professionally and socially, in numerous organizations.
European workplaces have adapted the “employee buy-in” philosophy long before it
became popular here in the states. In essence, it is a mixture of emotional intelligence
with thought leadership just wrapped in a tidy bow.

To Whom It May Concern:
Andrea Sitler was brought in as a consultant to handle our logistics needs.
She showed us how to choose the most cost effective method of packaging
and delivery while still meeting the needs of our customers. Added value
services such as uncrating and installation was written into the contracts of
our transportation providers. Crating services for returns, repairs, etc...
were also negotiated.
Andrea designed a trucking matrix that we could easily update. This matrix
provided us with the average cost for a shipment. It was set up by lane,
speed of service required, season and various other factors that contributed
to our daily work flow. There was an addendum for value services.
We were educated on the difference between dimensional and weight based
services. Several contracts with carriers were negotiated and Andrea was
available for future assistance, should it be desired, for negotiation with other
carriers or to supply us with contacts to additional carriers. We called upon
her several times.
We are very pleased with her services. She helped our young business off to
a solid start. I am pleased to recommend her services to anyone in need of
logistics advice.
With Fond Regards,
Charlene Belloso

seventh grade year, after passing the SATs, I was selected to further my mathematical studies through a specialized
program at John Hopkins University. The next year, I was invited to the Naval Academy where sciences, cryptology

University of Maryland. International travels lead to my acceptance at Berkshire University in London where I
