VH Consulting Founder and multi-stop administrator Shoshanna Engel Lewis joins ADU’s Steph Garcia Cichosz at the 2024 Women Leaders Convention to discuss the transition from athletics to entrepreneurship and offer insight into strategic thinking and leadership development. Engel Lewis reflects on her mission-driven career and how she recognized and developed her collection of “superpowers” throughout her various stops. Those superpowers – the ability to create authentic connection quickly and support others as they seek to solve problems – led to the moment when “circumstance met opportunity” in her career path, spurring the creation of a consulting firm that allowed her to blend those strengths to serve needs that leaders were facing in a changing industry. Engel Lewis also acknowledges the pivot stemmed from learnings that arose from moments when she didn’t land the next role in her career, admitting that hearing “no” provided an opportunity for self-reflection and creative thinking.
