Being Prepared For Everything To Go Wrong

Session details:

Live events are unpredictable—and when things go sideways, it’s not just the show on the line, it’s your mental and emotional resilience. This session is a real-world guide to staying grounded, calm, and clear-headed while leading under pressure, with practical tools for managing stress, supporting your team, and leading through chaos.

We’ll talk about how to navigate the emotional toll of things going wrong, strengthening crew communication, and building your own inner toolkit for staying steady when the stakes are high. Expect a no-fluff, practical session filled with lessons learned the hard way—so you don’t have to. If you’ve ever had a show go sideways (or know it’s only a matter of time), this presentation is for you. Walk away with real tools, renewed confidence, and maybe even a few laughs about the things we’ve all had to survive behind the scenes.
