Last week, my daughter graduated from Loyola University Chicago. After years of watching her build a life—on the field, on the sidelines, in the center of the action—she's stepping into the real world. And like so many graduates right now, she's walking in with drive, uncertainty, and a digital footprint that started long before her first job offer.This episode is a message to her—and to every graduate who needs a little direction that's not sugarcoated. It's a life list. The same one I've given my own kids (sometimes more than once). The same one I use with clients in crisis.In this episode:The top three questions students (and parents) ask me after every keynoteWhy your degree matters less than how well you can read a roomThe habits and mindsets that actually keep reputations intactWhat to say in your first “I don't know what to do” moment at workAnd the one thing every Gen Z grad needs to hear—especially those shaped by the pandemic yearsThis is not motivational filler. It's a real list for the real world. Send it to your grad. Save it for your kid. Or come back to it when your own clarity runs low.Read the entire list here on my PR Breakdown Substack: What No One Tells New Grads About Crisis Communication (And Life) Want More Behind the Breakdown?

In this enlightening dialogue, Kristen Tideman, the proprietor of Tidy Studios and a skilled event planner and website designer, articulates the profound interrelation between one's professional endeavors and theological discourse. We delve into her experiences that illuminate how the theological discussions prevalent in churches and seminaries resonate—or fail to resonate—in the quotidian lives of individuals. Kristen's reflections reveal the vital importance of viewing work not merely as a solitary pursuit but as a collective endeavor that impacts the community at large.

Kristen offers a unique perspective on how theological discussions can resonate within the vocational realm, emphasizing the importance of fostering authentic community connections through both events and digital platforms.Throughout the conversation, Kristen reflects on her journey from a deeply rooted evangelical upbringing to her current role as a facilitator of events that bridge gaps between faith and everyday life. She articulates the intricate dynamics of creating spaces where individuals can explore their beliefs without fear of judgment. As she discusses her work with Tidy Studios, she highlights the significance of presenting oneself authentically in professional settings, and how this authenticity can contribute to building one another up in a community. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of how our daily occupations can reflect our theological convictions, inviting listeners to consider the broader implications of their work in the context of faith.Moreover, Kristen's insights into the practical aspects of event planning provide valuable lessons for church leaders and community organizers alike. By sharing her experiences, she underscores the necessity of being responsive to the needs of diverse audiences, particularly in church settings that strive to remain relevant in an evolving cultural landscape. This dialogue not only illuminates Kristen's personal journey but also invites listeners to engage in self-reflection regarding their own vocational paths in relation to their faith.

The magic of attending a truly exceptional event stays with us long after we've returned home. What makes some events so memorable while others fade quickly from memory? In this episode, we tackle a listener question about customer experience best practices for event planners seeking to create standout experiences.Drawing from her extensive experience as both keynote speaker and attendee, Jeannie walks through practical recommendations that can elevate any event, regardless of size or budget. We start with seemingly small touches that make significant impacts - from double-sided name tags that don't flip around to clear wayfinding that helps attendees navigate unfamiliar venues confidently. These foundational elements create a sense of care and competence that permeates the entire experience.Beyond logistics, we explore how thoughtful programming, personalized communications, and intentionally curated networking opportunities build meaningful connections between participants. We emphasize the importance of inclusivity through accessibility accommodations, dietary options, and creating sensory-friendly spaces where introverts and others can recharge. Looking toward the future, we imagine how artificial intelligence might transform events through personalized agendas while preserving space for those serendipitous hallway conversations that often become highlights of in-person gatherings.Have you experienced an event that completely exceeded your expectations?

Industrial Talk is onsite at Accruent Insights and talking to Kate Fleming, Brittany Thompson and Tina Reagan with the Missouri's University System about "Deploying Technology for Effective Event Planning". Scott MacKenzie hosts a podcast discussing the University of Missouri's transition to a new event management software (EMS) and advanced space intelligence (ASI) system. Kate, Brittany, and Tina from the University of Missouri detail how the new system will streamline processes, save time, and improve efficiency. The current system is outdated and siloed, leading to inefficiencies in booking and managing events. The new EMS will centralize operations, provide better data, and enhance customer service. The transition is expected to take 6-8 months, with a focus on training and data import. The ASI system will help with space utilization and planning, aiding in future building design and event management. Action Items [ ] Implement the EMS system within the next 2-3 months [ ] Provide training to campus departments on the new EMS system [ ] Explore the capabilities of the ASI system and provide feedback to Accruent to improve the product for higher education use [ ] Involve the event management team in the design and planning of new campus buildings to ensure appropriate event spaces are included [ ] Utilize the data and reporting capabilities of the EMS and ASI systems to make data-driven decisions about campus event space needs Outline Introduction and Event Context Scott MacKenzie introduces the podcast and its focus on industrial innovations and trends.
