I'm a resilience strategist and five-time skydiving record holder with over 1000 skydives who helps people be bold by reframing fear. I help mission driven leaders keep their teams motivated and build cultures where bold ideas thrive. I remind people how to access the courage they already embody.

Lana Starchuck is a five-time skydiving record holder, including two gold medals, with over 1000 skydives. She has a portfolio career as an award-winning playwright, author, speaker, and editor who writes books and edits books, with a background in theatre, journalism, education and creative writing. She has extensive experience in corporate communications and marketing. Her next book, What Happens When Your Parachute Doesn’t Open and Other Successes is a self-improvement book to help confront your fear, reframe failure, and get moving in a new direction.


Lana faces mortality and vitality on every skydive and is intimate with the risk of dying. Her new book reminds readers of guiding principles they already possess to reframe their situation with more clarity and less fear. These principles are: failure, awareness, acceptance, humility, trust, patience, perseverance, confidence, mentorship and consistency.


Lana makes death less weird, risk more fun, and sees failure as feedback.
