Performance
Director. Educator.
Creative Leadership Strategist.
I help creative leaders and educators return to the part of their work that feels alive —
the part that reminds them why they chose this path in the first place.
Inside the Lab, you’ll learn the leadership tools that make your rooms steadier, your work more meaningful, and your people rise to the level of your vision.
The Arts Aren’t Extracurricular.
They’re Leadership Training in Disguise.
Not extra. Not optional. Not an afterthought.
The rehearsal room is one of the most emotionally intelligent, high-feedback environments on earth. It’s where people learn to communicate under pressure, adapt, collaborate, make decisions, and keep creating when the stakes are high.
Most leadership programs teach concepts.
The arts teach capability.
For nearly two decades, I’ve taken what actually works in these rooms — the clarity, the communication, the trust-building, the creative problem-solving — and translated it into tools any educator or creative leader can use.
This is leadership that feels grounded, human, and deeply creative.
It’s the foundation of everything inside The Creative Leadership Lab.
Creative Leadership Should Feel Alive.
Not draining.
Not overwhelming.
Not “just make it through another rehearsal.”
When you’re standing in front of your people — sunlight behind you, possibility in front of you —
you deserve to feel steady and inspired.
Grounded and creative.
Clear and full of joy.
Most training teaches content.
Almost none teaches you how to lead real humans in real time — with heart, artistry, and strength.
The Lab gives you the confidence to lead boldly,
without losing the spark that made you fall in love with this work.
The Leaders Who Find This Work Know One Thing:
The work they do matters —
but the way they’re being asked to lead isn’t sustainable.
They’re carrying the emotional weight, the decisions, the expectations,
and the pressure no one else sees.
They’re brilliant at the craft.
They care deeply about their people.
But somewhere along the way, the spark got buried under logistics, urgency, and exhaustion.
They don’t want to just manage a room.
They want to move one.
They want leadership that feels:
grounded
collaborative
meaningful
creatively alive
Leadership that doesn’t drain their energy —
but actually restores it.
Those are the leaders who come to The Creative Leadership Lab.
Leaders who want structure and spark.
Clarity and joy.
Presence, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
THE CREATIVE LEADERSHIP LAB
Where educators and creative leaders reclaim the clarity, confidence,
and spark that made them fall in love with this work in the first place.
Inside the Lab, you’ll learn a simple, human-centered leadership system that helps you:
• turn overwhelm into steady, repeatable structure
• communicate in ways that build trust rather than tension
• create a culture where people feel safe, motivated, and willing to rise
• lead with presence, creativity, and purpose — even when the stakes are high
This isn’t a course.
It’s a recalibration of how you lead.
Built for the people who carry more than anyone realizes —
and still want to lead with excellence, passion, and genuine joy.
You don’t need to push harder. You need a system that holds you.
I’ve spent nearly two decades leading high-pressure rooms, steadying chaos, and helping people rise without burning out.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Leadership feels different when your tools actually work —
when they give you clarity, protect your energy, and reconnect you to the joy that brought you here in the first place.
Tools that settle the room.
Tools that sharpen your thinking.
Tools that make the work feel meaningful again.
If you’re ready to lead with purpose, clarity, and creative authority —
I’d love to show you how.
