The Intentional Career Handbook

There is SO much dancers need to learn as they pursue a professional dance career. It can be completely overwhelming! So where do you start?

With your intention.

To me, this is the first step in defining success on your terms. Once you have an intention for your career based on your core values, you can begin to hone in on a strategy to make your goals a reality. But without it, you will always feel out of alignment, out of control, and ultimately unfulfilled in your career.

How do I figure out what success means to me?

With The Brainy Ballerina Intentional Career Handbook!

This isn’t just your ordinary book. The Intentional Career Handbook walks you through everything you need to think about as you embark on your dance career. With over 50 guided question prompts, you will dive deep into determining what really matters to you in a dance career based on your individual core values!

What is the Intentional Career Handbook?

A 19-page handbook with 12 topics and 50+ question prompts designed to give you intention and clarity in your goals as you pursue a professional dance career. (Basically, it's everything I wish I knew when I was first starting out in my career!)

✅ This is for you if:

• You aren’t sure where to start when it comes to pursuing a professional dance career

• You feel overwhelmed by all the choices available to you as a professional dancer and you want to find clarity in your intention

• You want to narrow down your career path so you can work smarter, not harder

❎ This is not for you if:

• You are working toward a career in the commercial dance or musical theatre industry (I think those are wonderful career paths, but my area of expertise and the focus of the book is ballet and contemporary)

• You already know exactly what you want out of your dance career and how to get it

• You don't care about working toward a career aligned with your core values and will sign any contract you are offered

✨ By the end of this book, you should:

• Be thinking objectively about your career

• Have defined core values to guide you as a professional

• Know your "must haves" when searching for a job

• Feel crystal clear on what really matters to you in a dance career

• Have reframed your mindset around the way you approach your career
