TURN YOUR DOWNBEAT AROUND
sERENA q. TRANSFORMS ADVERSITY INTO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
If you need a comeback after experiencing a setback (or 2, 17, or 177 of them that are keeping you stuck on your back foot), I can help.
I have life cred, street cred, school of hard knocks cred, some academic cred, but most of all, the "lived to tell and prosper!" cred to give you hope and get you going in the right direction again!
With a background in the peforming arts, city building, and wellness, I have 30 years' experience transforming adversity into competitive advantage!
GOT PAIN?
Been there, felt that.
Since 1999, my career, and life, and dreams, and confidence, and well-being have taken serious hits that threw me off track. I have:
1) overcome a breast tumor the size of a grapefruit (SUPER inconvenient when you wear a leotard for a living as a professional dancer/ dance educator)
2) and deportation where I lost everything and had to start over from scratch in a new city and new industry with NO network to my name (no...I did not transport cargo for a cartel...my work visa was not renewed during an election year and so I pivoted away from entertainment into the city building industry in the 4th largest metropolitan region in North America)
3) and then 9-11 happened, words fail...
4) and then SARS happened (an avian bird flu that pre-dated Covid-19, where the economic fallout only affected half the world...the half where I lived and worked)...
And after age 30...
5) I endured The Great Recession...which led to...
6) me having to fire (err, "lay off") smart, talented, over-achiever people which, in turn led to me being fired (err, "laid off" )...
7) which led to financial austerity...(for years!)
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!
After age 40, the **SH*T STORMS** intensified including:
8) death of friends and family (and having to suck it up and go to work, be productive, pitch, perform, and hit sales targets!)
9) a global pandemic ...that pretty much ruined life as we knew it...
10) a car crash...where I was hit by a transport truck in my 2-seater car (RIP) on a 16-lane highway...
And after age 50...
11) Divorce.
TA-DA!
Here's the thing; the hits never stop coming, but they provide opportunities to move towards new successes, learning, healing, growth, joy, (and yes...emotional, mental, physical, occupational, financial, social, spiritual, and environmental WELL-BEING) and competitive advantage in business!
