Dance Your Way Through Uncertainties with Kayleigh Schadwinkel
Our guest this week is Kayleigh Schadwinkel. Kayleigh is an award-winning traveling choreographer and dance teacher with over 20+ years of dance training and 10+ years of choreography. She started dancing at the age of 3. When she was in university, she organized a lot of dance programs and one of these is Put On Your Dancing Shoes (POYDS) which after a couple of years become her own dance company.
After graduating from the university, she entered the corporate world and at the age of 23 became the youngest Executive Director of Crete Chamber of Commerce in Nebraska. It was a lot of 18-to-20-hour workday for her as she develop community-wide event schedules, marketing strategies, action planning for events and festivals, and so much more. But she enjoyed all of it.
However, Kayleigh's heart is in dancing. She was running POYDS on the side while she was in corporate. And then one day she thought that she wanted to focus and continue pursuing her passion. With a very strong support system of friends and family, she left the corporate world and focused on her own company full-time.
She reiterates the importance of vulnerability and delegation in growing the business. She said that entrepreneurship is not easy and it will help a lot if you know how to ask for help. Also, she highlighted the importance of networking. It's in networking that she gets referrals and this is where most of her business is coming from.
Listen in this week's episode and be amazed on how this 28-year old business owner conquers the world one twirl at a time.
