LESSONS OF LEADERSHIP

“Success and failure are both fleeting and the work of our lives is not defined by either one.” 

Last year at this time, I contemplated leaving the field of dance education because I was not earning enough to support the family. This year, I am working 5-6 days each week teaching dance without a perception of scarcity any more. At each place I work I feel respected and fairly compensated, something I want every woman to experience in her work. When we met with Vicky LaBoskey at the 3-day summit, she [helped us see] the journey of becoming the educator/leader/artist that we envision; and that we don’t have to get off the road because we can’t be that educator/leader/artist right exactly now. It was enlightening to see that all of those years in the classroom and all of the dance learning of my students were essential to the journey toward providing the education that I believe all students deserve. I’m not there yet, but while before I was ashamed to be so far from my vision; now I am proud to be working, sweating, dreaming, reflecting urging myself and my students to keep going as I find my way on the path.
