Business and Leadership
Reflections on Business, Leadership & Life
Business leadership is wild, crazy, and scary on a good day. On the hard days, it can feel like the ground is shifting beneath you, and every step forward carries something heavier than you expected.
And when you add in the very reasons many of us do business in the first place, like our families, relationships, and passions, balancing the weight of work and life can leave little room for reflection and connection.
This page is a place where I share what I am reading, experiencing, learning, and working through in real time, along with occasional insights from our team and the work we are doing together. Some of it will come from what is going well, and some of it will come from what is hard. My hope is that this can be a place to share ideas, resources, perspectives, and encouragement as we lead in the places we have been given to serve. We do not have to do this alone. So join me, leave a comment, and let’s help each other grow.
In it with you,
Richelle
What Has Shaped My Thinking
Interesting perspective on leadership roles in wedding planning. Do you think those skills translate to other areas outside of events?
Absolutely. A lot of those skills transfer well outside of events.
Wedding planning takes organization, communication, problem solving, and the ability to keep people moving in the same direction under pressure.
That applies to leadership in all kinds of roles, from operations to client service to team management.
If you can keep a wedding on track, you can handle a lot more than people give credit for.
What other roles do you think benefit most from that kind of experience?
