Judith Rogala is a seasoned CEO who built her reputation as a senior executive with Federal Express, TWA and Office Depot, among a number of other Fortune 500 companies. Judith began her career with Trans World Airlines, rapidly rising from flight attendant to senior management.
Known for her ability to quickly assess issues and to implement productive solutions, Rogala was recruited to executive management by FedEx early in the company’s history. Rogala oversaw expansion of services throughout Canada and seventeen central states, contributing to FedEx growth from a $300 million company to over $7 billion over her decade-long tenure.
As a senior executive, Rogala managed 20,000 employees throughout the world in such disciplines as hub operations, properties and facilities, engineering and logistics.
In 1990, after a leadership role in the team that merged Flying Tigers Cargo into FedEx, she was recruited to serve as President and CEO of Flagship Express, a NASDAQ cargo airline company. Over the past several decades, Judith Rogala has served in senior leadership positions specializing in turn-arounds and startups in a wide range of companies.
Among her credits is the establishment of the Business Services Division for Office Depot and leadership of ARAMARK Uniform Services, serving more than 400,000 businesses.
Rogala received her Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of New Mexico, and has served on numerous community, civic and corporate boards, including Butler Manufacturing, Red Roof Inns and DSC Logistics.
Dr. Carol Orsborn is a marketing entrepreneur and ethics consultant, having brought guidance on individual and organizational values to over 800 clients, including Bank of America, Heublein Corporation, Prudential’s PruCare, and the Walt Disney Company.
Dr. Orsborn is currently an adjunct professor of ethics teaching doctoral students in organizational leadership at Pepperdine University and a recognized researcher in the academic field of business ethics. She also serves as Communications Managing Director of the Society for Business Ethics and Business Ethics Quarterly.
Dr. Orsborn is the author of fifteen highly-regarded books translated into 14 languages, centering on various aspects and applications of value development in work and life. Her book titles include The Art of Resilience (Random House, 1997), Inner Excellence at Work (Amacom, 2000) and How Would Confucius Ask for a Raise (Morrow/Avon, 1994.)
For nearly two decades, Dr. Orsborn has been a comforting voice of common sense and wisdom to readers around the world. She is credited in the mid-eighties with pioneering works on simplicity for people seeking balance between work and personal life.
In the 90’s, she was among the first to bridge the gap between spirituality and business, her book on Inner Excellence pioneering the genre of business leadership books making the connection between values and productivity.
Orsborn has appeared on Oprah, and on The Today Show multiple times, and in the pages of People Magazine and The New York Times, among many others.
The authors share a fascination with experiential learning as a means for testing one’s personal and organizational boundaries:
Judith Rogala is a life-long athlete as well as business leader, who has had a long-term association with The Catapult Group, a Colorado-based leadership development training organization that uses mountain climbing as the life-changing means to expand individual, professional and team boundaries.
Orsborn, equally proud of her strolls into the hills and canyons above Beverly Hills, leads leadership retreats of a more contemplative nature through her affiliation with the Triunfo Institute. Both women are frequent keynote speakers at professional gatherings on “Trust-Based Leadership” and related topics.
