Inside the 8 Week Event Plan I break down the event design process to help you connect what you want to deliver with what your audience wants to receive. In this video I'm talking about THEME and how you can (and should) use the theme to connect your content, connect your audience and connect your outcomes.

We're in the middle of a concurrent round of the 8 Week Event Plan and the next one will start in January. If you're ready to strategise your 2025 event plan, get in touch to find out if this program is the right one for you.

I didn't get the invitation. I saw them all on social media having a great time and I was p*ssed! How many times do you have FOMO when you see a group in your circle engaging in an activity they didn't invite you to?

In Priya Parker's book The Art of Gathering, she talks about curating an audience and considering not so much who you will invite, but who you will leave out.... On first look, this seams like a bit of "mean girl" behaviour, but actually it's an even deeper level of care and attention for your audience.

How many times have you been in a meeting, at a function, or even out with friends and you think to yourself "what an earth are they doing here!". So now, instead of really connecting with like minded people, having conversations about similar or even opposing interests, you're left hanging out with someone who is completely disrupting your experience.

So next time you're thinking about the audience you're attracting, maybe have a think about who you can leave out.........................................
The 8 Week Event Plan is the perfect environment for you to explore these ideas and more. Delivered in twice weekly live calls by yours truly, we explore ideas such as this, and build exceptional events together. Check it out www.8weekeventplan.com

What a delight it was to invite the team from Goodness Enterprises located at The Tivoli Drive-In to The Prop House Collective yesterday. Lisa and David have designed an amazing program for these event management trainees to experience and yesterday we were so grateful to have Jano Kotzas, Founder and CEO of The Prop House Collective address the trainees, show them this amazing space and talk about all the wonderful possibilities there are in the world of theming and props.

One of the talks I give to students is around all the opportunities in the world of events and all the different spaces, sectors, activities and areas you can work in. There really is space for absolutely every personality type in events, and who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all this glitter and gold!

The showroom at The Prop House Collective is BURSTING with Christmas delights. Come and visit the Coorparoo showroom or jump online. So many amazing creations to see, hire or buy.

And if you're keen to support a social enterprise, visit Goodness Enterprises and explore all the incredible work they do in the community.

What if you could upskill your volunteers while they work on your event project for you?

The story in the link at the end is a tragedy for communities and volunteers alike. Volunteering is often the social construct that assists in keeping communities well being well, well. Not to mention the sharing of skills, transferring of stories feeling like a valued contributor to community.

What if you engaged volunteers on a project by project basis, instead of long term or for years at a time. Would you commit to a project over a committee position? I know it suits me better.

If you're struggling with adding value to your volunteers and you're seeing a decline in volunteer support for your events, perhaps consider this 8 Week Event Plan program. And if you want a special deal for your volunteers, send me a DM and I'll send you a discount code.

Check it out www.8weekeventplan.com

And give your volunteers something to look forward to.

Put up your hand if you're spending months, even years planning your event? My addiction to high pressure environments lead me to attract clients who had weeks to plan their events. Not months, not years, WEEKS!

I discovered that the order in which I did things was the secret to my success and I've given you my 8 step plan below. Read below to see how you can design, plan, execute and administer your event in as little as 8 weeks.

I designed a system that I now teach others and the next round of the program starts on 11 November. Go to www.8weekeventplan.com to find out more.
