Warum Events Menschen nicht informieren, sondern verändern müssen What's Next – Events im Wandel | Folge 91 | Design for Change Gast: Pigalle Tavakkoli – Gründerin, School of Experience Design | WXO Council Member | Autorin The Experience Design Building Blocks Kernfrage: Was soll nach einem Event anders sein als vorher – und wie gestalten wir diesen Weg? Worum es geht Viele Organisationen planen Events, aber sie planen nicht für Impact. Sie fragen: Welche Botschaften müssen auf die Bühne? Pigalle Tavakkoli stellt eine andere Frage: Wer sollen diese Menschen sein, wenn sie den Raum verlassen? Echte Transformation beginnt nicht mit besserer Kommunikation. Sie beginnt mit einer Erfahrung, die etwas in Menschen auslöst – emotional, kognitiv, im Verhalten. Wer ist Pigalle Tavakkoli? Gründerin der School of Experience Design, 15 Jahre Erfahrung als Creative Producer, über 12 Jahre als preisgekrönte Dozentin und Trainerin für globale Kunden wie Apple, Unilever, L'Oréal und Philips. Ihre These: Wirkungsvolle Erlebnisse entstehen nicht aus Intuition, sondern durch gezielte Gestaltung – auf der Basis von Neurowissenschaft und Emotion Design. Die Kernaussage „Verändere nicht zuerst Verhalten. Beginne damit, zu verändern, wie Menschen fühlen." Kahneman und Damasio zeigen: 95–98% unserer Entscheidungen werden unbewusst und emotional getroffen. Emotion ist kein weicher Faktor. Emotion ist der Mechanismus, durch den Bedeutung entsteht. Das besprechen wir Feel–Think–Do statt Think–Feel–Do: Die meisten Transformationsprogramme sind falsch herum konstruiert. Pigalle Tavakkoli erklärt warum – und wie man es dreht. Das Publikum als Protagonist: Wenn Menschen Teil der Geschichte werden, entstehen Emotionen – und Emotionen schaffen langfristige Erinnerungen. Pigalle beschreibt den Moment, der ihr das klargemacht hat. Rückwärts designen: Zuerst den Wandel definieren, der entstehen soll – dann den Experience Journey entwerfen. Das Prinzip ihrer 8 Building Blocks. Was KI nicht replizieren kann: Warum der physische Moment in einer KI-Welt wertvoller wird, nicht überflüssiger. Drei Zitate, die bleiben „Die Elemente, die wir gestalten – Bühne, Technologie, Inhalte – sind nur Werkzeuge. Die eigentliche Erfahrung entsteht im Menschen." „Wenn Menschen Teil der Geschichte werden, entstehen Emotionen – und Emotionen schaffen langfristige Erinnerungen." „Der Unterschied zwischen einem Event und einer Transformation liegt nicht im Inhalt. Er liegt in der Intention dahinter." Für CHROs und CPOs: drei Fragen für das nächste Format Was fühlen Teilnehmende danach anders? Was sehen sie danach anders? Was tun sie danach anders? Wer diese Fragen nicht vor dem Konzept stellen kann, plant für den falschen Output.

Brittany Pilcher, Director of Development at Quest Inc., joins Trevor to walk through exactly how her team added a Golden Ticket Raffle to WineQuest , a $500,000 two-night gala in Orlando and sold out 100 tickets in 72 hours.Brittany doesn't sugarcoat the hesitation. She talks through why she almost didn't do it, the moment she decided to pull the trigger three weeks out, and how the raffle pulled in nearly $8,000 of pure incremental revenue without adding meaningful work to her team. More importantly: she breaks down what she'd do differently next year, including running two ticket tiers and considering corporate underwriting to cover the cost upfront.In this episode: why the $100 price point is the sweet spot, when to announce the winner in your program (and when not to), how to get your board and committee actually sharing the raffle, and the part most organizations miss, the 100 new names in your database that you can steward long after the event.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:00 Introduction to the Golden Ticket02:18 Hesitations and Strategies for Ticket Sales06:01 Psychology of Ticket Sales and Winner Announcement 08:49 Impact of the Golden Ticket on Fundraising10:49 Quest Inc.: Mission and Community EngagementHave a question or topic you'd like us to cover?

Send a textIn this episode of Marketing Espresso, I sit down with event strategist Jodie McLean from JEM Events to unpack something that looks simple on the surface but quickly becomes overwhelming once you start: planning an event that people genuinely want to attend.Jodie takes us right back to the beginning — before venues, speakers or save-the-dates — and walks me through the four pillars she calls the brief: your outcomes, your audience, your budget and your non-negotiables. Without these, you're essentially planning blind.We talk openly about the current trend towards smaller, more targeted events, and why they often outperform big, generic conferences. Jodie explains how specificity leads to connection, and why ego-driven decisions (like wanting a room full of hundreds) often work against the true purpose of an event.Once you understand who the event is for and why it matters, you can build out the event concept: the theme, the name, the timing and the location. Jodie shares why it's important not to rush this stage, why a vague concept leads to low conversions, and why giving people too little information too early kills momentum.We also explore what it takes to market an event well. Jodie highlights the problem with announcing too soon, why drip-feeding information rarely works and how to time a campaign so you avoid the dreaded lag in sales.And yes — we also touch on hybrid events. Jodie shares her unfiltered view on why hybrid formats almost always compromise both the in-person and online experience, unless you have a serious budget and a specialised team.We finish with a discussion about preparing for event day, delegating properly and making sure your suppliers are fully briefed — especially when you're the one your audience is there to see.Key takeaways Understanding your outcomes and audience is the foundation of every successful event. If you skip this step, everything downstream becomes harder. Specificity is your greatest advantage; niche events outperform broad ones because people crave relevance. Don't announce an event too early without key details — people make up their mind quickly and won't revisit it later. Hybrid events sound appealing but often dilute the overall experience. On event day, delegate more than you think you need to. You can't be the host, organiser and talent all at once.Actions to take Document your outcomes, audience, budget and non-negotiables before doing anything else. Develop a clear event concept with a strong theme and compelling name. Launch with full information rather than a vague teaser. Automate your post-event feedback survey to go out immediately. Build support around you so you're not juggling operational tasks on the day.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how decades of hidden toxins were silently stored in his body and why standard blood work completely failed to detect them. Despite eating clean, exercising, fasting, and supplementing, unresolved toxicity created inflammation, hormone issues, brain fog, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain.

He breaks down the most dangerous toxins affecting metabolism including lead, mercury, thallium, bismuth, aluminum, and glyphosate, along with their most common sources. You'll learn the exact multi-phase detox protocol Ben used to safely remove toxins, open detox pathways, support the liver, replenish minerals, and restore metabolic function. He also explains why most detox methods fail, how to test for toxins correctly, and why proper detoxification can unlock fat loss, energy, and long-term health. This episode is a must-listen if you feel stuck, inflamed, or unable to lose weight despite doing everything “right.”

Today, Eric shares a recent coaching experience he had with an entrepreneur who was hesitant to grow her business because she was happy with her current setup and did not feel the need to expand. Stay tuned as Eric takes a closer look at whether or not that way of working is, in fact, sustainable. Growth Can Create Freedom Staying small might feel comfortable, but constantly jumping from one project to the next leaves little room for personal time or long-term progress. Growth allows business owners to step back from their daily tasks and invest their time where it truly matters- on clients, strategy, and the parts of the business they enjoy most. Delegation Is Essential Delegating is about sustainability rather than relinquishing control. Many entrepreneurs wait too long before trusting someone else with parts of their business, which often leads to burnout. Delegation makes space for high-level focus and prevents the business from becoming overwhelming. Representation The most valuable contribution a business owner can make is representing the company and nurturing relationships, which includes sales, brand presence, and staying in touch with clients and prospects. Those are all time-consuming tasks, and the only way to prioritize them is by letting go of lower-level responsibilities. 80 Percent Is Good Enough Client satisfaction should guide your decisions around delegation, not perfectionism. No one will do things exactly the way you do. So, even if someone can only deliver 80 percent of your standard on your behalf, and the client is still satisfied, that is okay. Personal Lessons from Early Burnout In the early years of his corporate events business, Eric believed no one could serve his clients as well as he could. So, he avoided delegating, fearing it would compromise his brand. This mindset led to exhaustion, and he nearly burned out. Only after hiring a project manager did he realize clients were happy even without his constant presence. That allowed him to build systems and focus on growth. Start with a Long-Term Vision You cannot make aligned decisions without a long-term vision. Defining what you want your life and business to look like in 10 years will give you the clarity to act with purpose. That clarity is also the foundation of strategic growth. Develop the Right Mindset Entrepreneurship is not linear. It is a rollercoaster of unpredictable challenges. To be successful, you must be mentally prepared, able to manage stress and stay focused on the reason you started. Surrounding yourself with the right kind of support and using tools like journaling and meditation can help you remain grounded. Manage the Chaos Running a business means juggling high-level strategy with everyday tasks. Unpredictable factors add to the stress, especially in fast-moving industries. Learning to navigate the chaos is essential for staying grounded and moving forward. Stay Consistent Progress comes from steady effort, not big leaps. Small, repeated actions will create meaningful change over time. Even when momentum feels slow, doing a little bit every day will impact your long-term results and the growth of your business. Sustainable Growth Requires All Three By combining your long-term vision with a strong mindset and daily consistency, you can create a foundation for healthy, sustainable business growth. Without those, it becomes much harder to build something lasting and fulfilling.
