Event Planning – Life affirming or soul destroying?

Organising an event, conference or team building day can be a fun and creative process that gives you the opportunity to develop new ideas and rise to new challenges. Or it can be a time-consuming task that drains the life-force from you, adding furrows to your brow. Occasionally it can be a bit of both.

If involved in training and events a “Keep Calm and Carry On” attitude will stand you in good stead

If involved in training and events a “Keep Calm and Carry On” attitude will stand you in good stead

To make it more of the former and less of the latter, the key is to have an approach that will cover three key elements: Content – what is it that people will be doing/listening to?; Delivery – who is responsible for running the activity or programme on the day?; and finally, Venue – where will it take place?

What can we learn from sports teams?

Regardless of the team’s level – youth, high school, college, or the pros – players need to be consistently motivated to be successful, even winning teams.

Spain celebrating World Cup Win

How will Spain motivate themselves for the next tournament?

Teams that are not motivated are flat and, unless they can totally overpower their opponent, unlikely to succeed. Motivation is giving players a reason to perform to the best of their ability to achieve team goals. This responsibility falls on the coach and the players.
