THE SUCCESSFUL PERFORMER AND ENTREPRENEUR SHARE THE SAME SKILLS AND APTITUDE
1. Initiative- An employer wants to know that you are able to take personal and professional responsibility, to make decisions and act on them. Successful Entrepreneurs’ are full of energy taking the first step and a step further. Equally each member of a production team must take the initiative to create innovative approaches to problems and meet deadlines to develop the performance to the highest standard.
2. Commitment– Entrepreneurs and Performers are committed to success and develop their business and artform. They see the end result, the Big Picture! They do not recognise problems only varying degrees of a solution. They are constantly looking for ways to innovate and create!
3. Communicate- in groupwork, devising and performance drama encourages you to share ideas creatively, speak authoratively, persuasively and motivate others. Actors communicate ideas, concepts to their audience. Their success depends on their ability to be believable.
4. Cooperate- “The show must go on”. Groupwork is everything in drama. In developing a performance the key business skills of negotiation and compromise are imperative to developing a successful performance.
5. Confidence- through the groupwork, rehearsal process and performance you develop a “make it happen” approach to work. This same skill is a vital part of every successful entrepreneur and their enterprise. Like great performers successful entrepreneurs can be ridiculed and respected in equal measure. They must have a strong sense of self-belief to successfully sell their product or service. Their focus on success encourages them to listen to criticisms in order to improve and develop their product or service.
6. Creative- Drama develops a way of thinking of new approaches to problems. You develop new ideas and approaches to work tasks. Successful Entrepreneurs constantly research the latest technology to ensure their product or service offers the best value for money. They change course when an opportunity arises.
