How high would you jump to change careers? JaNette Lefkowitz left a business consulting career to focus on skydiving. As a former world and US National skydiving champion, she’s seen thousands of ups and downs.
Take note as Lefkowtiz describes how she built a four-person team that creates five formations in the air in only 35 seconds. She has applied the lessons she’s learned from skydiving to building a coaching business, as she will share in a fireside chat with Elizabeth Pehota, reporter and host for the New England Revolution soccer team.
Please email your questions to boston@100women.org by Tuesday, November 30. 2021 or you may submit them during the webinar.
