Hello there!

I had the opportunity to sit down with Hilary Blair, MFA from Articulate. We had the opportunity to discuss why and how event leaders struggle with communication. Almost every event professional that I converse with about their high levels of stress shed light on how communicating with clients and leaders only elevate their stress.

What I enjoyed about the episode with Hilary, is how she shared some simple frameworks like "sci-fi" to help us all understand how we can be more self-aware, curious, and intentional for impact. Such an easy thing to learn, but you can keep her framework as a tool in almost every situation.

I hope you get a little nugget of goodness that you can apply to your life in this episode! Enjoy.
