All the World’s a Stage...
All the men and women merely players...
I just wrapped on a movie and as always, took a little time to reflect and decompress.
For most of my life, I’ve made a living stepping into other people’s lived experiences.
As a director, helping others step into their roles.
As an actor, stepping into character.
As a writer, creating characters.
As a leadership coach, clarity around my approach to "showing up" was reinforced...
We all step into roles. We all shift for the moment. We all become who we need to be.
Where an actor prepares, makes decisions, and steps into their choices, in life, we are all constantly stepping into roles, but not always consciously.
At home. At work. We step into our roles and behave and react inside them. Parents, teachers, leaders, medical professionals, service providers, partners, athletes…
These roles are not about being someone else, they're about showing up as the person the moment requires.
I’ve directed hundreds of performers and been an institutional instructor to thousands of students, and realized the awareness required to step into a role is a process that applies to us all.
Best of all, knowing how to do it creates a sense of play--as clear intention and actively choosing really set us free.
Core Communication
Human Skills, Applied Improv, and Physical Wellbeing
Where there's a human skills deficit, there's a people problem.
Identify the deficit, solve the problem.
Where there's a lack of awareness, there's a misunderstanding.
Identify the language, bridge the connection.
Where laughter is absent, tension thrives.
Identify the stress point, connect through humor,
Where opinions are locked, communication shuts down.
Identify the block, move the body, shift the mindset.
Our human advantage is the ability to regulate, listen, respond, manage ambiguity, hold nuance, find humor, empathize and ultimately communicate.
Leaders who want to increase innovation should focus on systemic changes that lean into interpersonal relationships to build trust.
Body Language, Social Cues, Behavioural Agility, Listening & Intentional Connection are essential to our self awareness and understanding of others, enabling us to build strong partnerships.

Perfection is passe. Awkward is human.
Human is trustworthy.
Authenticity is an action. Choosing our roles and how we show up in any given moment are the keys to our clarity, vitality, and freedom.
Clear communication, behavioural agility, & body language are essential skills.
My work straddles physical presence with intentional communication.
I train teams and leaders to step into their role, read the room, listen, be curious, navigate conflict, and communicate under pressure.
