Guest Blog Challenge Week 2: What I’ve Learned from Dance Marathon

For the month of January, YOU have the opportunity to be featured on the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals blog and on our national Dance Marathon social media channels!

Check out our challenge for week 2 below.

What have you, personally, gotten out of your Dance Marathon experience? What tangible skills have you learned that could help you in your future career? How has your involvement with Dance Marathon allowed you to grow and develop as a leader?

For alumni of a Dance Marathon program, what skills you learned from Dance Marathon have you utilized most in your post-grad career? How did you market your Dance Marathon experience during your job search process?

The Week 2 Challenge will run from January 14-18, 2019.

All submissions will be posted on cmnhospitals.org and we’ll be sharing our favorite posts on social media through the month of January and throughout the year.
