Jareau Mantel - Communication Manager for France, Belgium and Netherlands

I’m lucky enough to have experienced both sides of communication – in my professional life. Before joining LKQ Europe, I was sometimes on the receiving end. So, I know how frustrating it can be when communication doesn’t make any sense and you can’t relate to it. But because I’ve been there, I now know how to avoid this type of confusion. The solution sounds simple – step away from your desk and get a fresh perspective. In my case, go to other departments or warehouses to talk to people. These valuable conversations are an insightful two-way street that lets me find out if what I’m doing is relatable. As part of our exchange, I can find out if people understand the intended message and the way it’s presented.  It’s what I love most about my role – in communications, the learning curve never ends.
