We Crush Events’ Post

Great company and opportunity

“Look at the open tabs, shut them down individually. Then settings, select restart. Wait 2 mins before turning the computer back on” I was telling the caller to reboot But, no one wants to hear that when they're angry and frustrated in discussion with an IT helpdesk. TLC works. See, I had a LOT of summer jobs. I used to work on a computer helpdesk, sold shirts on a market stall, a 'Cast Member' at EuroDisney, various admin jobs for hotel chains and a receptionist for Mark Warner. As the holidays begin, I witness the teens knocking around the house and I am wondering what wisdom they can gain from odd jobs this summer.. Steve Jobs famously said “ You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future" Got me reflecting on my career... 💻 IT Helpdesk (Darling Harbour, Australia Circa '98): Ability to trouble shoot on variety of computer problems. Customer Service 👚 Walthamstow Market (Late 80s):  Selling shirts, importance of an attractive shop window, pricing, packing boxes, the patter... 🎭 EuroDisney (Opening Crew '92): Hospitality, starting a business, customer service, international relations, the 'show' 👩🔧 Receptionist Mark Warner (Italy 93): The reason why I got into events, but that is another story... Hmm What can I give my kids to do? Do chores count as work experience? How has your past informed your future? #cosmicantlers100 #highperformingteams #exceptionalexperiences #events #founders

Behind the title of SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) hides a clown car of full-time positions. Event planner, administrative assistant, entertainer, caterer, counsellor, driving instructor, personal finance manager, sports coach... (and that's barely scratching the surface). When moms move to return to paid work when the kids are older, not only are they given zero credit for these directly transferrable skills, they're often punished for taking time "off" in the first place. It isn't a stretch to think that someone who has organized 15 years of birthday parties, end of year holiday dinners every year plus a wedding or two might be able to handle a corporate conference manager role (in their sleep ;)) - and yet, resumé-based hiring would never land a SAHM the job. Florian Lonqueu-Brochard and I are on a mission with recognizd to make re-entry into the workforce for moms a no-brainer, to help companies access an incredible untapped source of talent, and (as a little treat) to save the US $64B in the process :) If you (or your mom!) is interested in learning more, we'd love to chat :)

Hostessing provides an excellent opportunity to enhance interpersonal skills in several ways: 1. Communication: If you are shy and search for a way to get out of your comfort zone, try hostessing. This industry forces you to engage with a diverse range of guests so it requires effective communication skills. Hostesses must articulate their thoughts clearly, listen attentively to others, and convey information diplomatically to ensure smooth interactions. 2. Empathy: Understanding the needs and preferences of guests requires empathy. Hostesses must be attuned to nonverbal cues, anticipate potential concerns, and respond with empathy and understanding to create a welcoming environment. 3. Adaptability: Hostessing often involves navigating dynamic and unpredictable situations. Whether addressing last-minute changes or accommodating diverse personalities, adaptability is essential for success. Hostesses learn to think on their feet and adjust their approach accordingly. 4. Problem-Solving: Hostessing inevitably involves resolving challenges and conflicts. From logistical issues to interpersonal tensions, hostesses must approach problems with a calm and solution-oriented mindset. This fosters critical thinking skills and the ability to find creative solutions under pressure. 5. Leadership: Hostesses take on a leadership role, guiding the flow of events and ensuring everything runs smoothly. This requires confidence, decisiveness, and the ability to delegate tasks effectively. By leading by example, hostesses inspire others and foster a positive atmosphere. Wherever the section you are allocated to serve consider yourself as the leader of that spot. 6. Cultural Competence: In today's multicultural world, hostesses interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds. This provides an opportunity to develop cultural competence, including awareness of different customs, traditions, and communication styles. Hostesses learn to navigate cultural differences with respect and sensitivity. 7. Networking: Hostessing often involves connecting with influential individuals and building professional relationships. This cultivates networking skills, including the ability to initiate conversations, establish rapport, and follow up effectively. These connections can be invaluable for career advancement and personal growth. Overall, hostessing offers a unique platform for honing interpersonal skills in a real-world setting. By mastering the art of hostessing, individuals can not only elevate their professional capabilities but also deepen their understanding of human interaction and foster meaningful connections in both personal and professional spheres. #hostessing #cameroon #corporateworld
