A Dancer's View on Focus, Presence, and Confidence

Beschreibung

Produce Yourself! is an empowering and richly layered presentation that seeks to motivate readers to find ways to embody success. The reader will journey through a dancers process of creativity thru-the-body, learning the physicality of imagination, and illuminate the art of possibility. Dancers have presence and confidence. The difference between success and near-success is confidence.

Produce Yourself! claims that visualizing is not enough to realize goals, and illuminates the act of visceralizing, experiencing a desired outcome (as dancers do) through concentration and intense focus. Included in the book are simple moves and coaching exercises to engage readers in their own process, offering basic elements of ballet which is an athletic art form grounded in action. Stand Up! Be Still. Step Up! Be Connected. Move! Be in Action. This is not a program but more of an interactive system of learning, encouraging readers to:

Put yourself front and center Embrace yourself, embrace your goals Take a step - take the next step Discover the physicality of Focus Be an instrument for your own creativity Reach beyond your potential into what is possible Learn success tools, The 9 Cs: Concentration, Clarity, Commitment, Connection, Coordination, Consistency, Courage, Confidence, Completion Get out of your own way and be open to succeed

When in doubt, initiate. Buddah
