MIAMI, FL, September 2012 – Eve Wright Taylor, Vice President and Associate General Counsel for the Miami HEAT and the AmericanAirlines Arena, is no ordinary executive. This big picture-thinking, calculated risk-taking sports industry pro has purposefully navigated her way to extraordinary success in one of the most male-dominated industries in the world—professional sports. And she did it without compromising her personal style or femininity.

Eve’s meteoric rise through the ranks of Corporate America and the professional sports industry was no easy feat. To realize such extraordinary achievement, she had to cultivate and pursue her own personal passions rather than some nebulous, pre-determined definition of success – a philosophy far easier in theory than in execution.

With this in mind, Eve now speaks and consults nationally to assist leaders, professionals and individuals assess their lives and careers and make game-changing adjustments to help them win.  She draws from her own life stories and lessons, as Eve has walked the walk, blazed new trails, and gotten considerable mileage from best practices that she has gathered while climbing the corporate ladder…and breaking down barriers along the way.

Eve is currently available to discuss a myriad of novel business and lifestyle-related subjects including, but not limited to, the following:

• Why Passion is the True Measure of Success – how living a life with intention and purpose trumps profit, professional accolades, and work/life balance

Unisex Career:

• Role Play – maintaining individuality while playing by the rules in Corporate America

“Results don’t happen all by themselves,” Eve notes. “Whether in your business or personal life, success requires finesse, purpose and performance fueled by a positive and open-minded outlook.  This is the art and science of ‘Passion Sparking,’ which requires defining what ‘having it all’ means to you. This is not a set standard, but rather is a personal vision that’s in no way limited to professional achievement. True success is defined when you are realizing and living a life of passion – one with purpose and intention.”
