How to Talk to Event Leadership About Burnout

As we are planning events, we can experience overwhelm and burnout from all different directions. Many times, we triage this ourselves, but when the going gets tough it can be helpful to take our situations to an event leader to get feedback and perhaps collaborate on the best way forward in our work.So how do you talk to your event leaders about burnout? One of the first steps before talking to your event leader is to reflect on your situation. Think through all different areas of your situation, specifics on what the true challenge is, and work out any recommendations for resolutions so that your event leader knows that you've thought things through. After reflecting on your situation, create a few opportunities for enhancement that you can present during your conversation with the event leader. This will open up the conversation in the direction in which you see an effective resolve, but then also allow the leader to collaborate on the solution alongside you. This episode shares ideas on how to approach your leader and gives key questions that you can ask to really analyze your challenges in a way that is supportive of you and the business.At the end of the day, put yourself first, don't suffer from burnout in silence. Do the big thing, and talk to your leader to get the help you need.Links and ResourcesBanish Burnout Challenge - coming soon!Thank you so much for listening, until next time, stay on purpose. Support the show

Kevin Iwamoto of Bizly talks about what event planners should be doing differently right now. As pandemic concerns ease and gathering restrictions are lifted, how has the business of in-person meetings and events changed? What should we be doing differently now? What's the outlook for the near future? In this episode of Eventful: The Podcast for Meeting Professionals, Northstar's vice president and content director, Loren Edelstein, talks with Kevin Iwamoto, chief customer officer for Bizly, about new realities and how planners can avoid troublesome surprises. Among topics addressed: How to justify the value of large in-person events as a necessity for business growth and opportunities (3:14) Why in-person audiences will be smaller, and why we'll still need to offer virtual options to participants (4:15) Emerging meeting formats, such as holding smaller events in geographic regions rather than one national meeting, or holding one conference with digitized content for remote audiences (6:10) How compression and labor shortages are affecting negotiations and service levels. (6:10) The important questions planners should be asking in their RFPs and RFI's about staffing and on-site services (7:00) What happens if an attendee gets sick during the event? Can they stay in the hotel, or do they need to leave? (9:07) Who covers the cost of travelers who fall ill and need to quarantine in a hotel — the host organization, the person's employer, or the attendees themselves? (10:15) Why we should be patient and empathize with hotels doing their best to run a property that isn't fully staffed (14:20) How meeting professionals learned to cope with the pandemic and are well positioned to move forward with confidence (16:50) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every individual has different impressions of what diversity, equity, and inclusion means. Some of us tend to have very narrow views of what the issues are. We might not fully understand, for example, that inclusion should always consider the food and beverage choices that we make for our guests.  On this episode we hear from a bright industry professional who has a unique perspective, based on all of his lived experiences. This is a more personalized look at DEI that can help us all look at it through a different lens. He also wants a diverse pool of clients. He wants you to see him for all the things he is, which includes being an incredible experience-maker. We discuss the importance of leaning into our fears – we really do need to have the important conversations. AND, above all else, we should start with kindness. “Because what that kindness does, it opens you up to be exposed, empathetic to other people's situation.” Our Guest Tony Scurry, CMP, MBA – Chief Event Officer with 7 Pointe Planning William A. Scurry, II, MBA, CMP is a highly-motivated individual with over twenty (20) years of strategic event and meeting planning experience. He has managed an impressive list of events with multimillion-dollar budgets, ranging from less than 20 attendees to more than 10,000 attendees. Given his career focus on increasing the visibility of mission-driven organizations; his experience, skills, personality, and aspirations, fit the position of entrepreneur. He has spent years developing expertise in mission-critical logistics.  Tony is responsible for overseeing the creative and strategic direction of 7 Pointe Planning and providing a strategic framework for the conceptualization and execution of their clients' event operations.  He is currently developing a boutique brand, Anthony Event Designs, that will specialize in creating stories and multisensory event experiences.  He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC.  He successfully made a transition from Mechanical Engineering to Event and Meeting Planning with the support of a Master of Business Administration degree, with a concentration in Events Management, from The George Washington University in Washington, DC.   ~*~*~ The "Trade Show Talk" podcast is publishing two episodes per month, focusing on a different theme each month.
