Communication has a major impact in our lives;
it defines how we interact with each other and it plays a major role in the
possible outcome of how our ideas and decisions are viewed by others. Even
though there is different ways of communicating I had always been attracted to being
more verbal when it comes to delivering my ideas.
During my third year
as a dance instructor in a non-profit art academy for low income family
children, the economic crisis started to become a reality and the amount of
donations that the academy was receiving was very low, forcing the cancellation
of many programs and taking way many of those children’s dreams to become an
artist. I came up with a good idea and during one of the staff meetings; I
decide to share it with everyone. Full of energy and enthusiasm, and using
short words and sentences in order to avoid confusion, I started by suggesting
the creation of Dance Parties, in which our current and former donors would
bring their own kids to watch a recital and have them participate at the end,
using games and dance movements in a fun and interactive way. Asking for
opinions and suggestions from my co-workers, I assured that the meeting remained
relevant for everyone.
