18 Jade Heusen: “I thought I had to be perfect at everything, including relaxing!”

Jade Heuson, a former Birmingham Royal Ballet dancer, graces us with her story of pirouetting from the disciplined world of dance into the arms of mentorship. Once the preserve of elite performers, the Royal Ballet School was Jade's crucible, where the fusion of ballet and academics forged the steel of her character.She recounts the rigors of her training,  and the emotional crescendo of living a dancer's dream. Jade speaks to the delicate dance of maintaining personal identity amidst the demand for perfection, the role of mentors in finding equilibrium, and the lasting echoes of discipline in her own leadership style.In a profession where every step is scrutinized, resilience becomes the choreography by which one navigates the highs and lows. Join us for an episode that pirouettes around the beauty and tenacity of the human spirit, as told by someone who's danced through it all.https://www.360speakers.co.uk/jadeheusenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jade-heusen-377550111/Help us improve!
