This on demand audio series is a part of the Executive Girlfriends Group Vignette Series. Chicke Fitzgerald is interviewing Patrice Tanaka. The original live interview was 08/26/11.

Becoming Ginger Rogers is one woman’s inspiring journey to reclaim her life during the dispiriting days of New York City post-9/11, the unraveling of a successful business she co-founded, and the prolonged illness and death of her beloved husband.

This book is, in part, a memoir of a Japanese-American woman born and raised in Hawaii who fulfilled her dream of “making it” in Manhattan; it’s also a voyeuristic glimpse into the world of competitive ballroom dancing; and a business book about the lessons learned from ballroom dancing that made Patrice a better partner and a smarter CEO. Her delightful memoir shows us how we can revitalize ourselves so that our most exciting, productive and joy-filled days are ahead of us.

Patrice Tanaka, serves as Co-Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of CRT/tanaka LLC. Ms. Tanaka Co-Founded Patrice Tanaka & Company, Inc. in 1990 and served as Chief Executive Officer and Creative Director.
