Jeffry Denman has spent over thirty years at the highest levels of American theatre - five Broadway shows, including the original company of The Producers and the world premiere of Irving Berlin's White Christmas.

He is also an award-winning Director/Choreographer and the author of A Year with The Producers (Taylor & Francis). Today, he brings that same discipline and empathy to the corporate world as a Creative Producer at Imprint Events Group - creating events for brands like Google and Texas Roadhouse.

His Keynote, The Broadway Blueprint: What the Stage Can Teach the Boardroom, makes one powerful argument: the skills business calls "soft" are actually the hardest ones - and the stage has been using them for centuries.

My speaking experience is rooted in more than thirty years of communicating with live audiences. As a professional actor, I have performed at the highest levels of American theatre, including five Broadway productions, the original company of The Producers and the world-premiere production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. I have also directed and choreographed dozens of theatrical productions, emceed award shows and led audiences through live events where timing, presence and the ability to connect in the moment are essential.

Today, I bring that experience into the corporate world as a Creative Producer and Speaker Coach with Imprint Events Group. In that role, I help executives, presenters and event participants communicate their ideas with greater clarity, confidence and authenticity. I understand how to shape a message, read a room, hold an audience’s attention and adapt when something unexpected happens—all skills developed through decades of live performance.

My keynote, The Broadway Blueprint: What the Stage Can Teach the Boardroom, brings those worlds together. I use stories and lessons from Broadway to demonstrate why communication, collaboration, adaptability, empathy and trust are not merely “soft skills.” They are some of the most difficult—and most important—skills any leader or team can develop.
