[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Will you dance with me? It helps you succeed!

Whether you can or cannot dance isn’t the question. The question is “Will you dance?”

O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Make your project a dance.

Dance could be a real physical activity, or it could be a metaphor.

Real activity: We know that movement aids us in business due to the changes in our mental and emotional states by changing physical state. What we may not know is that dancing as a movement integrates emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects along with the physical. It is a multilevel experience, and it works whether you “know how” to dance or not! Just a few moments ago, I danced through the house to Yanni’s “Reflections of Passion.” No one here but me to feel the music, glide down the hall, connect with something more than myself, and raise my heart rate. It clears the head, releases tension, and develops intuition and creativity.

Metaphor: Dancing also helps you succeed metaphorically. When you “dance” with an idea or “dance” with your project plan, or “dance” with a prospective client, you give yourself to be flexible, yet in the flow. You give yourself permission to be less rigid and to listen to feedback.

As in partnership dancing, when we move in tandem with another for the most joyful results, we have an attitude of play and synchronicity, at attitude of lightness. When we have setbacks and are viewing our project as a dance, we recover faster and get back on the dance floor sooner.

Will you dance today with your business and your life? When you do, remember me!

Warmly,

Success Story

I want to acknowledge Janis Pullen today for being a freaking AWESOME coach! She helped me see that I was playing a game I couldn’t possibly win (in the empowered sense of the word). Together we designed a new game complete with rules I love and prizes that feed my spirit.

Specifically, she was an impeccably insightful listener, patient yet interruptive when necessary, lavished me with acknowledgement, and was so creative I wanted to play along.

Thank you, Janis!
