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! Enjoy.

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.

Burnout is not inevitable? However, many event industry professionals think that it is. 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.
This episode will give some insights into how we can understand burnout better to have the necessary conversations that we need to have to be the change we want to see,

Goal setting can be stressful. This episode aims to take the stress out of the goal setting that you have to make. As we move into the second quarter of the year, it's important that we look at how we develop our goals without causing ourselves much stress, here are some tips that are mentioned in the episode:
Set your goals and directionGet movingPut in place your habitsStay about the line Review oftenReward yourselfMany times we fail to start because of fear or because we lack direction. This episode will help you understand how important it is for you to develop a direction and start to get moving so that your goal can be obtained.
You'll also learn some insights on practicing great habits, and why habits are important. Also, your mindset and how you think about your success is very important. When you think debilitating thoughts then you limit yourself and by limiting yourself you can miss the mark in getting to your goal. So it's all about staying above the line, being positive and uplifting to yourself and your team about your goal.
Finally making sure that you review your goals often and reward yourself when you complete your goals are pretty important. And we also talk about tracking your goal too and how that can be increasingly helpful as you look to finish your goals.

In this episode, I explore the neuroscience of kindness with special guest, Janet Sperstad, CMP-Fellow and Faculty Emeritus for Madison College.
Janet Sperstad’s professional history reflects her lifelong vocation: driving excellence in meeting and event management execution and education. She has dedicated her career to defining the competencies and career pathways that articulate meeting planning as a design discipline requiring skills in the social sciences, executive leadership, and the cognitive sciences. Her contributions are global in scope and rooted in over 25 years as a meeting professional and executive leader in the corporate and non-profit sectors.
This is part two in a series where we unlock some more areas of neuroscience and how it can apply to our lives as event professionals. If you missed Part 1, where we discuss the neuroscience of stress and resilience, you can check it out here.
The fine print of this episode comes down to: kindness matters when we are planning events. As we lead our events, it's important to understand how kindness plays a big role in helping you solve problems, deal with stressful situations, and even become more creative on the spot.
In this episode, Janet shares how 90% of the conversations that we have are social in nature. She shares how our brain is a very social organ in which its natural set point is to commune with others. Additionally, kindness is a neurochemical and a culture. It can ignite the reward center in our brain and it is pro-social in nature craving community with other human beings. Thus, our brain cultivates commonalities, it wants to look for belonging and collaboration and is wired to look out for differences.
Furthermore, Janet teaches us that there is a language of kindness, and how every word we use to portray kindness can cascade across people. As event professionals when we get into a period of frustration or stress or just solving a problem, responding in kindness can help to minimize the stress and frustration that is being emitted in the moment.
Lastly, we unpack that great ideas come to us best when we are relaxed. So when we are solving problems onsite ensuring that we are responding in kind ways that will produce more ideas for creative problem-solving can be helpful.
Stay until the end to hear some personal fun tidbits about Janet and her sharing theSupport the show

Her contributions are global in scope and rooted in over 25 years as a meeting professional and executive leader in the corporate and non-profit sectors.
As you listen to this episode, you'll learn that Janet grew up with the philosophy of "a rising tide rises all boats.", and that has been how she has lived a life of helping others and in turn, it helps her in some way.
Through curiosity, Janet started finding out clear connections in what we do in our events around education and saw the connection in social science. On this personal journey, Janet was able to go deep and see things about how we work as event professionals.Two of the main things Janet has learned in all of her studies that she wanted to share in this episode are this:
With threat, we run from danger. We look for threat and we respond to threat.We love happiness. We feel good and love laughter and relaxation.The brain goes towards threat, and it wants to keep you safe. So, enter the conversation on how stress can have an impact on your brain and how you can lessen the impacts and become more resilient.
Because in essence, we run from threat, and we walk toward reward.
If you're feeling stressed out as an event planner. It doesn't have to control you. Let it go. As soon as you let it go, it loses power.
"We can't handle the externalities that come for us, we can only handle how we react to them." - Janet Sperstad
Janet gives us a brief solution on how you can relieve stress in the moment, whether you are at your desk frustrated at an email or onsite having to deal with a high-stress situation
Wash your hands with warm water, take three big breaths…pull your shoulders back and walk away.
It's as simple as that. This episode is full of lots of hidden gems for you to use to help you not only understand how your brain works, but give you tangible tips on how to combat stress, and tough times in this industSupport the show

When you can reduce attendee stress at an event, you can decrease the stress you have too. If an attendee feels comfortable, taken care of, and relaxed, they can be at their best for learning and are happier, which in turn means you can feel a little bit more at ease as you are planning.
Building longer breaksEncourage networkingCreate convenienceProvide rest opportunitiesGive space for physical movementCreate healthy opportunities
This episode covers 6 different areas to reduce attendee stress at your event. As you listen to this episode, it's important that you understand that implementing all of these ideas isn't necessary. However, these ideas may make you aware of some small tweaks you want to make at your event in the direction of stress relief and wellness.
The six areas that we unpack in this podcast episode are:There is a wealth of ideas in each of these areas, and several of them are mentioned in this podcast episode. When we think about our attendees' well-being it can be meaningful to know that you have a unique opportunity to bring wellness to them while they are experiencing your event. It's an honor that we shouldn't take lightly.
However, as much planning as you do for your attendees, make sure to also take care of yourself. Make sure that while you're onsite, you're making healthy choices for yourself and that uplifts your well-being too.

There is a segment of burnout that isn't typically discussed. It has to do with how diversity impacts the burnout experience, and in this episode, we dig deeper into the black experience with burnout.
Black people have a different experience than many others when it comes to burnout. Much of the reason why they experience more burdensome impacts of burnout is due to the marginalization, along with other systemic challenges in the world.
More specifically, black women experience burnout more than any other group due to these same challenges. Additionally, black women experience things like black maternal mortality, weathering, glass ceilings, and tokenism that all contribute to the continued battle that they face daily.
This episode uncovers many of these insights and also offers to the reader what they can do to not only support this community but also to elevate the conversations in their department and in their organizations so that we help make changes that impact us all.
