Royal, Political & VIP Protocol - Why It's Important for Event Pros

Royal, Political & VIP Protocol - Why It's Important for Event Pros

What would you do if a world leader or royal family member came to your event? Would you know what to do, how to greet them, where to seat them, and how to be a good host? Coordinating events with a VIP visit whether they are dignitaries, CEOs, kings, or ambassadors needs a special set of skills that can all be learned with one word - protocol. Protocol is what allows events to run smoothly, allows the right people to meet each other, and allows everyone to be on the same page.

Self Care For VIP Events - What To Do and Why It's Important

Self Care For VIP Events - What To Do and Why It's Important

It’s not rocket science that we have to take care of ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually when we do events and there are a ton of tips out there about health in the event industry. But today I’m talking specifically about long haul VIP events that last over two weeks and one of my unpopular opinions about self care…ohhh intrigue right? I’m also sharing my routine and tips before and during long haul VIP events including my post event reset.

You need to go into VIP events looking and feeling great both mentally and physically. If you look and feel great, it helps with the obvious anxiety, burnout, and physical health but one thing you might not have thought about is imposter syndrome. Showing up looking and feeling great can help keep your imposter syndrome at bay.
