Steve Brown is an event professional. He’s worked his way up from being a paid actor as the energy police in England, wearing a big pink fuzzy hat and handing out magnets to people,all the way to being a full blown event professional. Steve joins host Kerri Garbis to talk about some of the tips he’s learned for professional event planning and how to make everything run smoothly. Takeaways It’s not as incredibly easy to put on events and make them appear seamless and effortless. You want to have the right kind of menu for your event and make sure that works with the theme of the event. When planning an event, keeping aesthetics in mind is important. You want to make sure that the colors for decorations and the setup all go with the event and make sense. Sometimes a career break is the best decision you can make. Mentally we can be tasked with too much work over the years so taking a break for a bit is a good idea. There can be a bit of a language barrier in terms of international events, so make sure you understand who you are working with and try to communicate with them. Steve likes being on site and running around getting everything ready for an event to go live. Focusing on your mental health is something that can be very beneficial to you personally and professionally. Quote of the Show 11:53 “It's great to see events come back. I think at one point it was like, where is our industry, what's happening to it? It was almost mourning it, the way I felt and it was like, wow, is that ever going to be the same again? And you know, we are taking some huge positives out of those digital events.” Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-brown-12a251a/ Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a158d222-4beb-4c72-9569-0916e79a80f4/speaking-of-events Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speaking-of-events/id1611059542 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/699re9JSEnwNXnrNLGLUkz Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3BlYWtpbmdvZmV2ZW50cy5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw?sa=X&ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwiI6PWe2o73AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ&hl=en YouTube - https://youtu.be/q9UonbxIljw
