I used to downplay my background in the arts. I was a professional ballet dancer that turned to the business world, and I couldn't see how to integrate these two passions. 

Then someone asked me,

"Don't ballet dancers have to be incredibly strong?"

"Yes."

"Don't ballet dancers have to be incredibly dedicated?"

"...Yes."

"And don't ballet dancers have to be incredibly resilient?"

"...Yes."

Yes. Yes. And yes. Any many more things. That conversation made me realize some of the strengths I developed through my unique experiences that I can use everyday in business. It also made me realize that so many people and organizations are like I was--unsure of what your competitive advantage is? 

I'm passionate about helping others find their competitive advantage and achieve greater success through speaking and consulting.
