The greatest business lessons I've learned weren't in a boardroom—they were on Broadway.

The greatest business lessons I've learned weren't in a boardroom—they were on Broadway.

Every leader and every organization is asking the same questions:
• How do we bring talented people together around a common goal?
• How do we build trust before it's tested?
• How do we communicate clearly under pressure?
• How do we adapt when things don't go according to plan?
• How do we consistently deliver excellence?

I've spent more than 30 years inside the theatrical process—including more than 25 years on Broadway and nearly two decades with Wicked—watching hundreds of professionals answer those questions eight times a week, with no pause button and a paying audience watching.

Most people see Broadway as just entertainment.

I see one of the world's most complex living operating systems, where leadership, collaboration, communication, adaptability, and human performance are tested in real time, every single performance.
The difference between Broadway and most workplaces?

We have better costumes... more sequins... and a few more dance numbers.

I founded Open the Aperture to bridge the gap between the theatrical and business worlds.
Through keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and podcast conversations, I use the theatrical process to help leaders and organizations see teamwork, leadership, communication, and collaboration from an entirely new perspective.

The stories are entertaining.

The lessons are practical.

If you're looking for a speaker, interactive workshop leader, or podcast guest who brings an unexpected, high-energy perspective to your team or organization through the theatrical process, I'd love to start a conversation.

The theatrical process comes standard.

The sequins are optional.
