Together, we identified multiple areas of improvement and focused on each of them individually. By the end, each tool he equipped me with complimented another!
Gave me tools to track and use data, specific to my needs, to make decisions in the best interest of our organization
Took time to understand my personal interests and goals and how to utilize them to best serve my employer, colleagues and members

Challenge:

My immediate supervisor recognized that additional time on the road and being away from work and family caused me to be reluctant to attend professional development conferences/opportunities throughout the year.

Solution:

Working with Aaron, one-on-one, allowed for strategies specific to my learning style, prep for challenges I would soon face with regards to upcoming events, and specific areas I wanted to see improved to better support my organization, colleagues and members.

Remembering a one size fits all approach truly doesn’t fit all and having access to skilled facilitators and industry professionals that can help you navigate the ever-changing landscape that is Hospitality & Meetings & Events, like Event Garde is crucial to the ongoing success of the industry we’ve all grown to love. Being encouraged to think outside the box, think and do outside of your comfort zone opens so much potential.

Finish:

I walked away from our coaching period with physical and analytical tools to do my job more effectively. I walked away from our coaching period feeling more confident as a meeting professional and continue approaching my working relationships in that manner. I walked way from our coaching period having a new friend, not just a mentor.
