In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from the women employees and leaders all across the Envoy operation. For this installment, we hear from Laneshia Fentress who is a Leadership Training Specialist based at Envoy headquarters.<\/p>\n
How did you start out in aviation? Are you still in the same role?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I started in aviation as a provisional employee in the Flight Attendant Recruitment Department at American Airlines. It was a really unique time because it was the first time American Airlines was hiring flight attendants after 9-11.\u00a0 I went on to work in Recruitment and Human Resources\/People Services department for American Eagle, which is now Envoy.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the most rewarding part about your current role?<\/strong><\/p>\n I am currently a Leadership Development Specialist for Envoy. The most rewarding part about my current role is, I get to do something I am passionate about! I enjoy empowering, inspiring and encouraging the potential in our frontline leaders.<\/p>\n What does diversity mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n I heard it said like this by a former diversity leader at American Airlines, \u201cDiversity is being invited to the party\u2026inclusion is being asked to dance!\u201d I love that in our industry, we truly have a global reach. Diversity is having a community of folks who look different, believe different and have different ideas that can come together for one common goal. Diversity is beautiful!<\/p>\n What might people not know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hmm, I think I am an open book. One thing people might not know about me is, I am a singer and a front-person for a band. I love music!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from the women employees and leaders all across the Envoy operation.
