LEAD FROM WHOLENESS, NOT EXHAUSTION
Join The Leadership House Insights Circle - weekly guidance for leaders and creatives who want clarity and purpose-aligned direction.
Lead From Wholeness,
Not Exhaustion
Thanks for joining The Leadership House Insights Circle—monthly wisdom from 36 years producing The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Presidential Inaugurations, NFL events and other large-scale live experiences. I understand festival directors, event producers, and creative industry leaders navigating high-pressure seasons without losing yourself.
If you're here, you know this feeling:
It's 3 a.m. and you're mentally running through contingency plans—again. Weather threats. Artist production demands. The team member who might quit mid-season. Budget overruns. Sponsor expectations. Community relations. Safety protocols.
You've built your career being excellent under pressure.
Festival production. Event operations. Team leadership. High-stakes launches.
You can handle it all. Everyone says so.
But here's what nobody's saying: The same excellence that makes you indispensable is slowly making you disappear.
The Leadership House exists for leaders who carry it all—
Festival Directors managing $2-5M budgets and 80-hour weeks during season.
Event Producers rebuilding teams every year while delivering flawless experiences.
Creative Industry Executives holding space for artists, teams, and stakeholders while your own reserves run empty.
This newsletter is different because I've been where you are.
36 years as a C-Suite executive, Coordinating Producer, executing large-scale festivals (400,000+ attendees), top-tier productions, and high-profile events.
I know the weight you carry because I've carried it.
And I know the path to leading from wholeness instead of exhaustion.
What you'll receive monthly:
Specific exercises for making decisions from groundedness, not pressure.
Stories and lessons from 36 years in high-pressure festival leadership that apply to your current challenges.
How to stay centered while holding space for everyone else.
Spaces designed for rooted growth and whole-person leadership.
Plus: Get "The 3 Questions Every Live Events Leader Should Ask Before Burnout Answers For Them" instantly when you join. This Gallup-Certified Strengths framework has guided my own leadership through decades of festival seasons—now it's yours.
This is leadership done differently.
Not hustling. Not perfecting. Not performing.
Presence.
If you're ready to lead with clarity, depth, and wholeness—you're in the right place.
