From Broadway to Business: 5 Magical Lessons I Learned from "Wicked" While Twinning with My Daughter


As a parent and business owner, I've discovered that inspiration can strike in the most unexpected places. Last night, that lightning bolt of insight came from an unlikely source: the enchanting world of "Wicked" and a magical evening out with my daughter.


The Unexpected Classroom of Broadway

Picture this: matching outfits, sparkling eyes, and a musical that's about so much more than just singing and dancing. "Wicked" isn't just a show—it's a masterclass in personal and professional transformation.


Lesson 1: Embrace Your Unique Story

Elphaba's journey is a powerful reminder that what makes you different is precisely what makes you extraordinary. In the world of entrepreneurship, your unique perspective isn't a liability—it's your greatest asset. Just like how she challenged the narrative thrust upon her, successful business owners must learn to rewrite their own stories.


Lesson 2: The Power of Collaboration

Glinda and Elphaba's relationship teaches us that success isn't about competing, but about understanding. In business, this translates to:

- Building genuine connections

- Supporting fellow entrepreneurs

- Recognising that there's room for everyone's success


Lesson 3: Resilience is Your Superpower

Setbacks aren't stop signs—they're redirections. The musical brilliantly illustrates how perceived failures can be the most transformative moments of our journey. For entrepreneurs, this means:

- Embracing challenges as opportunities

- Maintaining flexibility in your approach

- Refusing to be defined by momentary setbacks


A Personal Touch (aka The Matching Outfit Moment)

Let's be real—I'm absolutely milking these matching outfit moments with my daughter. I know there'll come a day when she'll look at me and declare my fashion choices are totally "cringe". Until then, I'm living my best twinning life! 👯‍♀️


The Coaching Connection

For busy professionals feeling lost or overwhelmed, a coach can be your personal Glinda—helping you:

- Navigate complex business landscapes

- Reframe challenges

- Reconnect with your original passion

- Develop strategies for sustainable success


Why This Matters

Magic isn't just about grand gestures. It's about finding inspiration in unexpected places, believing in yourself, and understanding that your journey is uniquely yours.


Pro Tip for Entrepreneurs

Sometimes, the most profound business lessons come from the most unexpected sources. Whether it's a Broadway musical, a conversation with a child, or a moment of quiet reflection—stay open to inspiration.
