Both women talk about how their varied and diverse experiences transferred to their new roles in new arenas and ultimately, allowed them to bring (or add) value in transformative ways. They not only explain how they navigated these big changes but give tangible actions steps on how to make a pivot and be successful doing it!

Jenn and Angie are CRUSHING it and I can’t wait for you to hear their stories. Let’s dive in! And remember, We Are Women Leaders.
