Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with 25-year Broadway veteran and founder of Open the Aperture Teri Pruitt.Most people think Broadway is all about the stars. Teri Pruitt knows the real magic happens because hundreds of people work together behind the curtain — communicating, collaborating, trusting one another, solving problems, and showing up every night ready to perform.After more than 30 years as a professional theatre artist, including over 25 years on Broadway, Teri has experienced firsthand how the theatrical process creates one of history's most fascinating living laboratories for teamwork, leadership, communication, collaboration, and trust.That experience became the foundation for Open the Aperture, where Teri brings the lessons of theater into the business world through keynotes, workshops, consulting, and conversations designed to help organizations see their people, teams, and possibilities differently.Her roots are in Overland Park, Kansas, but her remarkable professional story took hold in New York City and on Broadway. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover the entire ride — from her Kansas City-area beginnings to more than two decades of Broadway experience and the evolution of that experience into a new mission helping leaders and organizations.What can Broadway teach us about leadership? What does it take to build trust within a team? How do hundreds of people with different roles and responsibilities work together toward one shared outcome?Teri Pruitt has spent decades living those answers.This is a fascinating conversation about Broadway, theater, leadership, teamwork, communication, trust, collaboration, creativity, career transformation, and the power of seeing the bigger picture.Dig into the story behind the curtain with Teri Pruitt.More Teri Pruitt / Open the Aperture:Teri Pruitt For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
