What started out as a hobby, became a symbol for me of success.
Success wasn't new to me. I'd always been a top achiever in my profession due to a lifetime of focusing on excellence and the tools and attitudes needed to achieve it.
I began with the In Sync dancers. We performed Irish dances at community events and it was great fun. When I joined the O'Sullivan dancers, I was invited to compete. At the time, I wasn't focused on that aspect of the sport; I just wanted to dance for fun.
But that all changed.
The short version goes like this:
In 2005 and 2006 I had a series of health challenges.
In 2007 I was rear-ended by a woman driving 50 mph in her SUV.
After several months of physical therapy, I was determined to rebuild my body into an award-winning Irish dancer. And through a combination of clear goal setting, an understanding of how to overcome obstacles, and a superb instructor and coach, I was able to win 6 first place medals over the course of 12 months.
Let me instruct and uplift your group by sharing techniques for success. I weave examples from dance, work, and building a business into a motivating learning experience.
