About Julian …
In 2017, while serving as Music Director for the Broadway musical Hamilton, Julian Reeve experienced a stress-related heart attack. He was 43 years old. The experience forced a fundamental re-examination of how success, pressure, and performance are sustained inside high-achieving environments.
What followed was years of research into burnout, performance culture, and organizational behavior, leading to the development of Perfect Equilibrium®, a practical framework that helps leaders and organizations strengthen performance while improving well-being.
Today, Julian brings a rare combination of global performance experience, entrepreneurship, and leadership advisory work to stages around the world, helping organizations navigate pressure, change, and growth with greater clarity, alignment, and sustainability.
