In this webinar, you will be guided through a ballet lesson. You’ll learn about the flow and discipline of movement, which is essential not only in dancing but especially in high levels of leadership.
Extraordinary and inspirational leadership requires momentum, movement, and the ability to fine-tune. All of this needs daily training - simple daily disciplines so that you are ready for moments of peak performance at any given time.
Ballet dancers are trained to move. They follow a very thorough and strict flow of movement in order to prepare their body and mind for the moments of peak performance. For the moments on stage. They train every day for years. They have techniques to keep their muscles warm and smooth throughout the day, from warm-up class till the end of rehearsals and through performance.
Inside the ballet dancers’ training lie golden nuggets that can be used to elevate your level of leadership, to hone skills that make a great leader extraordinary.
It’s about meticulous warm-up, discipline, the ability to listen and fine-tune, being aware of your surroundings, and moving with grace, kindness, and joy. All the while inspiring your audience - those that follow.

Why Should You Attend
What on earth does ballet have to do with leading an organization?
Do you sometimes feel stuck in your leadership, with your team, or in your organization? You feel like things are not moving or at least not moving at the pace they should be. Such an observation or experience is a reflection of what’s happening inside yourself.
The perception of what we experience in the outside world is a reflection of what is happening (or not happening) on the inside. We live in an inside-out world.
If you feel stuck or slow the only thing that will help you get unstuck or pick up speed is movement. It’s as simple as that. Ballet dancers are movers and the similarities between dancing and leadership are incredibly tangible.
