2. Follow role models
Observe others completing particular tasks: how do they go about choosing the right venue, or controlling the event budget? Observation makes for great learning and reassures if you’re on the right track with your own actions.

3. Seek affirmation
Let’s get one thing straight – this doesn’t mean fishing for compliments, which is about as much fun as a pop up ad. However when you get words of encouragement from others it helps you develop task mastery and self-efficacy.

~ Discuss your planned course of actions with others and seeking specific feedback

~Tap into the positive feeling when somebody commends you for a particular task you’ve completed. Recall how you felt in the past when a colleague or boss affirmed your work, and the lift it gave you for future challenges.

4. Check in with yourself
We humans have moods, stress levels and emotional states that impact big-time on our how we react at work. It’s important to be aware of your emotions and how they’re affecting your behaviour.

Checking in with yourself is the first step to addressing unhelpful thoughts and feelings.Unchecked negative emotions have an unfortunate habit of growing. Cranky, crabby and cantankerous are not pleasant for you, for others around you and are harmful to your productivity as an event manager.

Our advice: take the time to self-reflect, acknowledge and adjust your emotional state as needed. And, most importantly: be kind to you.
