BrainFood – Beatrice Bernstein
Beatrice Bernstein’s Webinar
“Words as friends” and how to better use them on your own behalf
Skills will be offered about shifting one’s mindset in preparation for efficient and polite self-advocacy within the dance world and as a support for attaining optimum results, both in on-stage and off-stage real-life situations. How we use our words can be an invaluable tool as a mediator to empower dancers to reach their artistic goals as well as to attain fair pay and an acceptable quality of life overall. Knowing how to express ourselves with clarity about our goals, rather than being led by purely reacting to our emotions, gives us the power to connect with positivity and to be successful with solution-oriented communication. Practical advice about one’s expression of self-esteem, the importance of having a positive mindset, and learning about the difference between being tolerant and not standing up for one’s rights in a dance environment will also be discussed. Additionally, we will cover the use of techniques for utilizing the power of positive Self-talk: verbal expression of feelings and body experiences, and a section about the effective use of English as a second language will be on offer as well.
Boglárka’s recommendation:
In the dance community, Beatrice is famous for her positive attitude, optimism and motivational communication. She is committed to facilitating change in the dance world and she initiated The Healthy Young Dancer Project to create a global platform for all of the dance and dance-health related professionals who also believe in co-creating a more inclusive, safer and healthier environment in the world of dance, and as a support for dancers, for their families, and for each other. To achieve her goals, she needed to master diplomacy and communication skills. I’ve learned a lot from her! Though she is very outspoken, she is able to share her opinions on difficult subjects in a way that doesn’t offend others, but instead encourages communication and the finding of functional solutions. Beatrice spent many years of her professional ballet career working in Germany and can relate to the joys and the struggles you may be facing. She has some great advice on how you can discuss complicated topics, how you can verbalise your feelings and body experiences, and how you can represent yourself in a non-aggressive, proactive way. Enjoy her webinar and let her guide you to discover the way to feeling more empowered to be able to better express yourself! I hope you find inspiration from this peaceful and warm-hearted woman who never gives up.
