Leading Like Broadway:
How Presence, Story, and Alignment Turn Leadership Moments into Momentum
Today’s leaders are under constant pressure to communicate clearly, inspire action, and align teams through uncertainty. Yet many rely on information alone, when what people truly respond to is presence, clarity, and emotional connection.
Drawing from the high-stakes world of Broadway where opening night allows no do-overs this talk reveals how leaders can apply proven performance principles to everyday leadership moments. From executive meetings to company wide communication, leaders learn how to hold attention, carry a vision across teams, and move people from understanding into action.
Participants will discover how to
✔️ Lead with presence instead of pressure
✔️ Communicate ideas so they are felt and remembered
✔️ Align teams around a shared story and purpose
✔️ Navigate high-visibility moments with confidence and calm
✔️ Create cultures where accountability and creativity coexist
KEY BENEFITS:
➕ Aligned teams around a shared vision
Instead of mixed messages and silos, leaders create clarity of purpose so teams understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
➕ Improved influence across levels and functions
Leaders gain tools to influence without authority, navigate strong personalities, and unify diverse voices around common goals.
➕ Greater trust and engagement
When leaders communicate with authenticity and story, trust increases, engagement deepens, and people feel seen rather than managed.
➕ More confident leadership in visible moments
From town halls to board presentations, leaders handle pressure with calm and clarity, even when the stakes are high.
➕ Reduced burnout and more sustainable leadership energy
Leaders learn how to manage their energy, not just their time, leading to better decision making and long term performance.
➕ A culture that balances accountability and creativity
Teams perform at a higher level without fear. Expectations are clear, feedback is productive, and innovation thrives.
FORMAT:
The breakthrough session Leading Like Broadway can be offered as keynote/ masterclass or a 3-6 hour intensive training workshop style.
