The Leadership Dance

Jenna Segal is writing women into the history books in arts and entertainment. Women make up more than 75% of theater audiences, yet are rarely in the decision-making seats. Jenna has stepped in to change that narrative. She is an Emmy, Tony, and Clio award-winning producer of Broadway hits including Hadestown, Gigi, and Six, as well as the visionary behind The 31 Women Collection of remarkable female artists. In this episode of The Leadership Dance, she discusses how she moved from CNN and MTV to Broadway, why she insists on supporting women in leading roles, and how she built an amazing career by just saying yes. 💡 Key Takeaways: Ask who's missing from the room and make space for women in decisions, not just in the audience. Say yes before you feel ready and follow your curiosity. Build a life and career you're proud to "lose money on" because it aligns with your values.

Spotlight, pressure, and the power of example. In this episode of The Leadership Dance, Chloe Misseldine, Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre, talks about her surprise promotion on stage after her debut as Odette/Odile at The Met, how she prepares for the technical and emotional demands of taking on leading roles in Swan Lake, Giselle, and Sylvia, and what she's learned about artistry, setbacks, and confidence along the way. She also reflects on growing up with a mother who danced with ABT, performing through injury, being named to Forbes 30 Under 30, and the importance of staying humble — especially when younger dancers are watching. 💡 Key Takeaways: Kindness is a form of leadership. How you treat people matters, whether that's in the studio, at the stage door, or online. Do the work so you can trust yourself. Preparation allows you to step on stage with freedom instead of fear. Confidence grows over time. Sticking to the basics, staying humble, and trusting the process builds lasting strength.

Who gets funded depends on who's deciding. In this powerful episode of The Leadership Dance, Lawton Cummings, General Partner at Capital Factory, shares why women in venture capital matter—and how her experience navigating cancer has influenced her approach to life. Lawton gets vulnerable about navigating breast cancer twice while continuing to work and raise a family, and what survivorship taught her about rest, energy, and letting go of perfection. She also shares her nonlinear career journey: from practicing law to serving as a legal analyst for Fox News (while simultaneously serving on an ACLU board of directors) to now investing in tech startups. The conversation explores representation in decision-making and how curiosity and resilience shape leadership over time. 💡 Key Takeaways: Resilience isn't always pushing through. Sometimes leadership means resting, recalibrating, and being honest about your limits. Careers don't have to be linear to be successful. Following curiosity and depth can open doors that rigid paths never will. Representation shapes outcomes. Diverse perspectives drive better outcomes and stronger innovation.  Connect with Lawton: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawtoncummings/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawtoncummings/?hl=en  Website: https://capitalfactory.com/  ✅ Sign up for the newsletter:  https://theleadershipdance.substack.com/s/the-leadership-dance 👉 Listen and follow: https://linktr.ee/theleadershipdance Music from InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ "Catwalk Queen"

What can leaders learn from fighter pilots about performing under pressure? Former fighter pilot and CEO Christian "Boo" Boucousis joins The Leadership Dance to share how elite performers make decisions in chaos, execute with clarity, and stay calm when it matters most. From cockpit-tested leadership habits to practical tools like plan–brief–execute–debrief, this episode breaks down what it means to perform like a fighter pilot. From a five-year-old boy mesmerized at an air show to one of fewer than 400 fighter pilots trained over four decades, Boo's journey reveals how his air force training taught him to value time in seconds and put the mission above ego. This candid conversation explores friction, burnout, digital overload, and how to move from reactive days to truly flawless execution. 💡 Key Takeaways: High performers don't just have good ideas; they turn decisions into action.

She now applies those same skills to help leaders identify their superpowers, stay grounded in chaos, and navigate the inevitable "wobbles" of career pivots. 💡 Key Takeaways: Build transformational relationships, not transactional ones.

Harvard leadership instructor and author Margaret Andrews joins Alissa Hsu Lynch to trace her unconventional journey from accounting to academia, sharing how a series of "lucky accidents" and bold choices propelled her to the forefront of executive education. This episode is chock-full of practical advice for leaders at any stage of their careers.

Visionary artist Janet Echelman joins Alissa Hsu Lynch to pull back the curtain on her creative journey - one that's anything but conventional. Oprah ranked her work #1 on her list of 50 Things That Make You Say Wow, and it's easy to see why: Janet's monumental, wind-borne sculptures transform skylines across continents, inviting viewers into immersive, contemplative experiences. In this episode, Janet shares the story behind her new book, Radical Softness, and the decades of experimentation, setbacks, and discovery that shaped her practice. From learning traditional craft in Bali and India, to designing custom software and collaborating with engineers who helped build the world's tallest building, Janet's career is rooted in curiosity, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and finding opportunity in the unexpected. She describes how "temporary" installations become her playground for risk-taking, while permanent works demand precision, partnership, and deep planning.
