Get Strategic or Get Left Behind
Are you yearning to be treated with more respect at work? Are you frustrated by the misconception that what you do for a living is glamourous and fun? Does the thought of more hands
to help complete the myriad of tasks you’re juggling sound appealing? Would you like a salary that truly represents your talent and time? Those things and more are within reach. All wehave to do is execute what Christy calls, the ‘Strategic Planning Principles.’ Learn about her plan which calls for an industry-wide evolution transforming event planners into strategicplanners. Learn what that means, when it can happen, why it matters and how you can help create this much-needed change.
