1:1 Festival & Live Events
Leadership Coaching
Lead with your strengths, not your stress
WHO This Is For
You're a festival director, production manager, or department head who has mastered the art of making it all work. You're the one everyone depends on. The one who keeps calm when the headliner threatens to walk, when weather shuts down stages, when budgets explode and timelines collapse.
But here's what no one sees: You're exhausted. You've become a master chameleon, shape-shifting to meet every demand while losing touch with who you actually are beneath it all.
You're at a breaking point if you're feeling:
- Lost in the industry—consumed by the needs of artists, tour managers, sponsors, and stakeholders until your own voice disappears
- Threatened by your ability to deliver—the pressure to execute flawlessly is crushing, and you're not sure you can keep up this pace
- Alone in the chaos—surrounded by people but carrying the weight entirely by yourself
- Frustrated by constant pivots—every day brings new fires, and you're in pure reaction mode with no time to think strategically
- Trapped in single-focused work days—no time for yourself, no space to breathe, no moment to remember why you loved this work in the first place
You know you're capable of more. You know there's a better way to lead. But right now, you're just trying to survive the next festival cycle.
That ends here.
WHY NOW Matters
Leadership clarity isn't optional anymore—it's leverage.
The festival and live events industry isn't slowing down. The stakes keep rising. The complexity multiplies. The leaders who thrive aren't the ones working harder or sacrificing more. They're the ones who have learned to lead from their strengths instead of compensating for perceived weaknesses. They've stopped trying to be everything and started being authentically, powerfully themselves.
Your leadership potential doesn't fade—it matures, waiting for the moment you decide to activate it.
That moment is now.
In a world moving faster than ever, high-performing leaders are searching for clarity, alignment, and purpose. This isn't about adding more to your plate. This is about discovering the centered, confident leader you already are beneath the chaos—and learning to lead from that place consistently.
The Transformation
In just 12 weeks, you will discover who you are at your core, stand confidently in your unique strengths, and lead from them—not from stress, not from reaction, not from what everyone else needs you to be.
You'll learn that stillness and Deep Oneness aren't luxuries—they're the only way to stay centered and keep your head above it all. This is where strategy meets soul, and clarity fuels influence.
WHAT You'll Achieve
In Just 12 Weeks, You Will:
- ✓ Discover and activate your Top 10 CliftonStrengths—understanding exactly how you're wired to lead and make decisions
- ✓ Build your signature leadership identity—authentic, powerful, and unmistakably you (no more chameleon mode)
- ✓ Lead with strategic clarity and emotional intelligence—responding instead of reacting, even in high-pressure moments

This Gallup-certified, neuroscience-backed leadership transformation helps you identify your unique strengths and lead with confidence, clarity, and calm power—without burning out or losing yourself in the process.
This is where strategy meets soul and clarity fuels influence.
Why This Works: The Inside Advantage
I'm not teaching festival leadership from a textbook. I'm teaching it from 36 years in the trenches—as President and Chief Operating Officer of Festival Productions Inc., producing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Essence Music Festival. I've lived every scenario you're facing: the artist negotiations, the weather emergencies, the impossible timelines, the board pressures, the team burnout.
I know what it's like to be the one everyone depends on. I also know what it costs when you lead from stress instead of strength. That's why I became a Gallup-certified strengths coach and built frameworks specifically for leaders in high-stakes, fast-paced creative industries.
This isn't generic leadership coaching adapted for festivals. This is festival leadership coaching built by someone who understands your world because she's led in it for decades—and now teaches it at Tulane University's Freeman School of Business.

This Isn't For Everyone
This experience is designed for festival and live events leaders who are:
- Stuck in high-performance mode with little fulfillment—you're executing brilliantly but feeling empty
- Unclear about your next level or how to reach it—you know there's more, but can't see the path
- Overextended by doing what works—but not what's yours to do—saying yes to everything because you can, not because you should
- Ready to unlock more confidence, purpose, and impact—willing to do the inner work that creates outer transformation
If you sense this is your season to activate your strengths and lead from alignment, I invite you to begin now.
Your Transformation Starts Here
Your strengths aren't missing—they're waiting for activation.
The question isn't "Are you ready?"
It's "How much longer will you wait to lead from your full power?"
The Clarity Session is a complimentary 30-minute conversation to ensure this experience is the right fit for where you are and where you're going. No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest conversation about your leadership journey.
