SPARKED

From Competitive Dancer to Learning and Development Leader

Today's career transformation story is an inspiring example of how to courageously pivot when the work you once loved no longer aligns with your deepest drives.

Kayla Archer's journey began with an all-consuming obsession for competitive ballroom dancing. But the intense singular focus and lack of boundaries eventually led to a challenging environment that neglected her innate curiosities and zest for personal growth and, more or less, obliterated boundaries. Her renaissance journey overcame self-doubts from early academic struggles to ultimately find fulfillment as a learning and talent development leader.
