Crescendo

Zen is a concert pianist and conference interpreter who also works as a high-performance mentor and author, and her talks pull all of it together. Live music, storytelling and performance psychology share the same stage, which is unusual and it's the reason the sessions land. Her subject is what happens after excellence stops being sustainable. She burned out chasing it, then built two frameworks to move leaders and teams from perfection-driven pressure toward something they can actually keep. Four talks are on offer, including The Hidden Power of Deep Listening, From Perfection to Freedom, and The Art of Performing Under Pressure. All she needs from the venue is a power point for a portable digital piano.
