There are many reasons why I dance salsa. One is to fail. Yes, you read that correctly. I dance to fail. When you partner dance, salsa in particular, you are going to make mistakes, several times a dance, no matter how good you are. Dancing salsa gives me a powerful opportunity to stay in process, let go of the results, and just be present. Sound familiar? The mindset and skills of making that happen are an essential part of my coaching academics on writing, being “productive” and being in the job.
