Jen Waldman Biography

Jen Waldman is a Broadway acting coach and the founder of Jen Waldman Studio, a New York City training center and creative home for Broadway actors. Waldman's clients have appeared in numerous Broadway musicals, and the studio is recognized for its holistic and strategic approach to developing an artist's craft and career. She has worked with more than 1,000 artists, including Tony Award winners and nominees, to develop their creative voice and technique. The studio also offers a scholarship program for artists committed to using their art for social impact.

Before establishing her coaching career, Waldman performed on Broadway, making her debut in the musical "Titanic" and later appearing in "Wicked" as Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.

She has collaborated with Simon Sinek on the Speak Like a Leader workshop, contributed to Seth Godin's Real Skills Conference, and partnered with organizations from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Waldman and Sinek joined forces after he learned she was using the Golden Circle framework to inspire artists, leading to joint efforts to help individuals across industries discover and activate their purpose. She delivers keynotes and workshops internationally on creativity, effective communication, and leadership development.

Waldman received a proclamation from the City of New York for her work supporting marriage equality. She served a five-year term as the theater chair of the National YoungArts Foundation and is a professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
