Anyone out there read Policy Mic? It's a pretty great website that describes itself as "the first online news platform to engage millennials in debates about real issues." It's journalism meets social media, targeted at the Millennial Generation.
Well, they were looking to profile a few folks who could offer some experienced wisdom for the just-out-of-college set, and they picked me.
Because I'm an unstoppable female entrepreneur. (Ha! Flattery will get you everywhere. But do check it out, and check them out. Policy Mic is a great place to have non-talking-points debates on current topics with folks you don't yet know. Very satisfying and through-provoking, as I poked through the site.)
Check out the interview with me here.
The only thing I wish the author had included was the REASON that I think everyone should take acting classes (because that's true): a good acting class is a lesson in applied emotional intelligence. It will improve your awareness of the messages you are sending to the world, it will improve your ability to adapt and negotiate interpersonal conflicts, it will make you better at "reading" other people, it will deepen your empathy. All those things are amazingly useful for anyone, in any job.
