About the speaker

Kira Troilo is the Founder & CEO of Art & Soul Consulting, a Massachusetts-based consulting and training firm built on one stubborn premise: the tools that make great theater also make great organizations.

Her signature methodology, STAGES™, translates the rehearsal room's most powerful dynamics (role clarity, truth-timing, and iterative feedback) into an operating system for leadership teams. Her proprietary frameworks, including the Silence Tax™ and Rehearsal Mode™, give teams language for what's actually happening beneath the surface of their meetings and their hesitations. Her work centers a core belief: teams don't need safer spaces. They need braver ones.

Her clients have included Harvard University, Stratford Festival, and Boston Lyric Opera. She hosts the Inclusive Stages podcast, publishes the Permission to Lead Differently newsletter, and holds MBE and WBE certifications through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
