    Leading Difficult Conversations in the Event Industry with Hilary Blair

    Hello there! I had the opportunity to sit down with Hilary Blair, MFA from Articulate. We had the opportunity to discuss why and how event leaders struggle with communication. Almost every event professional that I converse with about their high levels of stress shed light on how communicating with clients and leaders only elevate their stress. What I enjoyed about the episode with Hilary, is how she shared some simple frameworks like "sci-fi" to help us all understand how we can be more self-aware, curious, and intentional for impact. Such an easy thing to learn, but you can keep her framework as a tool in almost every situation. I hope you get a little nugget of goodness that you can apply to your life in this episode!

    Event Planners, Give Yourself Permission to Do Something Different

    This episode invites you to do something different in your life, especially if you can sense an imbalance happening that is affecting you. Event planners have no problem understanding burnout and its implications, however, many times when it comes down to making the decisions that are needed to make necessary changes we doubt ourselves.  Doing something different gives you the permission to make those key changes. And it doesn't have to be big changes in your life. You can make very small changes that make a big impact on you.  Naomi discusses how you can give yourself permission so that you can come to work filled with joy, and passion, and ready to do your best work.  Thank you so much for listening, stay on purpose!

With so much pressure in the industry, combined with unreasonable expectations, lack of boundaries, and high volumes, burnout is a very common result.   Burnout shouldn't be inevitable in the industry, because it is preventable. If burnout is preventable, then finding ways to proactively address burnout in our lives and in our organizations is a solution worth pursuing. However, it's not just about learning how to prevent burnout and overwhelm, it's about taking the direction and doing the actions necessary to prevent burnout. Many event professionals struggle with this.
