Navigating Confidence and Career Progression, Joi Schweitz
I’m an airline pilot, keynote speaker, founder, and mentor to women globally. But I didn’t start here. I began my aviation career as a flight attendant.

They’re the ones that arrived uninvited, unplanned, and sometimes unwanted. I would describe myself, sometimes, as the small silver ball which bounces around the pin ball machine of my own life! Change is the lever that
