What are you good at?

Events, events, events; so many people think that its an easy task to plan an event, until they try it themselves thats when they know its not an easy job. The pressure that you go through if you can’t handle it will force you to quit and vow never to plan any event at all.

Some of the pressure that you might expect is from service providers, meetings prior to the event, logistics and safety precautions etc. that you should consider before doing an event that will give you sleepless nights.

This beg me to ask this question what are you good at? Many people maybe confuse as to why am saying this; let take art for example there those artist that are gifted with the gift of writing songs and singing, but also there those artist who have only been gift with either writing songs or singing. The same applies for Events.

There are those event organizers who are good in planning it on paper upto to the required detail but they are very poor in executing what they have plan i.e they don’t have good negotiation skills to bring service providers to their events, they have no field capacity I mean in terms of problem its hard for them to come with a solution quickly. Don’t get me wrong am not saying that this are criterias to distinguish them but but he/she may not be good at this area but planning he is good.

There are those who have execution skills they can’t put anything on paper but they know what and where things should be and everything run and when they encounter some problems they can come up with solutions immediately. There are those with that bear both the planning and execution skills altogether.

Ask yourself where do you fall in is it planing , execution skills or both.
