In her book Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work, author and Yale University lecturer Joanne Lipman explores how people successfully navigate major life and career transitions. On CNBC's Squawk Box, Lipman shared key insights from the book — including the story of TAP CEO Jane Veron as a standout example of reinvention in action.

Jane Veron left the corporate world after a successful career in strategy and marketing at Bain & Company and American Express. Rather than stepping back, she channeled her expertise into building The Acceleration Project — a nonprofit that has since helped thousands of under-resourced small business owners across the country access free, expert consulting. She also served as Mayor of Scarsdale, New York.

Jane's story illustrates what Lipman calls the power of reinvention — the ability to take skills, experience, and passion and apply them in entirely new and meaningful ways.
