Empowering Leaders in Logistics: “Leading with Impact” Workshop with Singapore Logistics Association

At Strive-High Pte. Ltd., we believe that communication isn’t just a soft skill; it’s a leadership imperative. That belief came to life at the recent Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) event titled “Inspiring Connections: Building Bridges Between LOGWomen,” where our CEO and Founder, Ms. Preeti Dubey, had the privilege to conduct the signature workshop:
“Leading with Impact: Communication Strategies for Success.”

The session was designed to support and elevate leaders in the logistics industry, particularly women and emerging professionals, by equipping them with strategic communication tools for influence, clarity, and growth. This workshop was more than just a training, it was a movement toward redefining leadership in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Addressing the Gender Gap in Logistics Leadership

The logistics sector in Singapore, while rapidly evolving with digital transformation and global connectivity, continues to grapple with gender imbalance in leadership. According to a 2020 industry report, only 13% of senior leadership roles in the logistics sector are held by women. The prevailing perception of logistics as labor-intensive and male-oriented has historically deterred women from entering or advancing within the field.

However, conversations like those sparked during this workshop are steadily changing that narrative.

“True impact in leadership begins with how we communicate, not just what we say. When women communicate with confidence and clarity, they transform boardrooms, supply chains, and mindsets.”
— Preeti Dubey, CEO, Strive-High Pte. Ltd.

Workshop Highlights: Building Communicators Who Lead

The “Leading with Impact” session focused on:

• 🔹 Strategic communication frameworks for influence and leadership presence

• 🔹 Tools for active listening, persuasive storytelling, and assertive expression

• 🔹 Exercises to boost confidence, credibility, and collaborative dialogue in diverse environments

Participants engaged in role plays, reflection tasks, and high-energy discussions that emphasized not just skills—but mindset shifts. The energy in the room was a testament to the hunger for authentic, empowered leadership.

Panel Discussion: Spotlight on Emerging Voices

The workshop was complemented by a dynamic and thought-provoking panel discussion, moderated by Tommy Tan Pei Liang, featuring insights from:

• Dr. Akanksha Batura Pai – Healthcare and logistics innovator

• Chee Lim Pek – Veteran logistics professional and strategic advisor

Together, they unpacked the barriers faced by women in logistics, the importance of inclusive mentoring, and the practical pathways to leadership for the next generation. The session illuminated not only the challenges but also the immense opportunities ahead for women to shape the future of logistics.

Gratitude and the Road Ahead

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Singapore Logistics Association for creating such a powerful platform to foster inclusion, dialogue, and growth. Special thanks to Dr. Akanksha Batura Pai and Mary Ann Bey for the opportunity to contribute, and to all the passionate participants whose questions, ideas, and energy brought the session to life.
