Question 11 of 25

How do you multitask when you plan or manage multiple events?

"I create a timeline for each of my projects, setting deadlines for different tasks that need to be completed as the event approaches. I am cautious not to take on multiple events that take place on the same weekend unless I can share some of the responsibilities with an assistant. Many events require the same types of vendors, so on a day when I need to schedule catering for a wedding, I'll schedule the catering for the corporate event that day as well. I like to plan each facet of an event strategically to make life easier on me, my clients, and my team."

      "The first rule is I wear comfortable shoes. I also like to create three different timelines for my events: pre-production, day of the event(s), and post-production. As the timeline progresses, I identify what can be done immediately and what actions might be pertinent to the success of the task."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      You are very organized - good for you! And yes, comfortable shoes would be a must-have. The idea of having three timelines shows that you are smart and prepared - ready to tackle the moment and what lies ahead.
