I came back refreshed with a clearer view of my business direction; how I would like to market my skills and abilities. Stepping away from my hectic life and crossing off one of the "Bucket List" items made me appreciate life and what it can offer both personally and businesswise.
This break also gave me a great opportunity to watch how Tour Operators handle groups and see a different perspective; that of a guests point of view. My mandate is to always watch, learn and listen, noting comments from individuals, the major item from this group was COMMUNICATION.
People were not sure as to where they should go and who was directing them. I had felt slighted lost at times but as an Event Planner I tried not to be over critical with those organizing an event which I have not, we cannot see it from their point of view.
With my next major event September 4, East Indian Wedding - 430 guests, I will be extremely cognizant of ensuring all the guests involved know what is expected and where they should be - so my trip not only gave me a renewed zest but also an excellent opportunity to illustrate how communications skills play a large role within any type of event.
