What if the key to better relationships, stronger leadership, and personal growth was hidden in something as unexpected as theater? In today’s episode of the Dallas Daily Show, we dive into Theater and Coachability — and why the best leaders, spouses, and professionals all have one thing in common: they’re directable. When was the last time you resisted feedback? Are you actually fighting for your vision—or just fighting to be right?

IN THIS EPISODE:
- How my theater background taught me the power of coachability
- The secret to staying directable in work, relationships, and leadership
- Why shared vision is the missing ingredient in your biggest struggles
- The role of a director vs. a stage manager—and how this applies to life
- The difference between being rigid vs. resilient in conflict
- How shifting from nose to nose to side by side can transform your relationships

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- The best actors (and leaders) are coachable and adaptable
- Shared vision reduces conflict—when you lose sight of it, you become rigid
- Being directable isn’t weakness; it’s how you win in business, marriage, and leadership
- If you feel stuck in relationships or work, check if you’re aligned on vision
- Small adjustments lead to massive results—if you’re willing to take direction
