066: How to take risks in creative design - with Kristin Banta


Listen Later

Even if you wouldn't call yourself super 'creative', you can learn how and when to take risks in business to create connections with your clients. Let's talk how to take risks in creative design.

Would you consider yourself a risk-taker? Someone who pushes the envelope, a natural innovator and disruptor in your industry? Or maybe you're someone who has a keen eye for what's wrong in the world and passionate about fixing it?

I know you'll glean a few ideas from today's conversation. Settle down for an episode that'll inspire your work, and help you decide what to pitch to your clients next.

My special guest today is a super successful and innovative celebrity event planner.

Kristin Banta simplifies how to take risks in creative design. In this episode, you will learn:
  • How to create like an Event Designer and how she collects her ideas and inspirations in a practical way
  • What "experiential event design" means
  • How the risks Kristin's taken in producing past client events paid off
  • Why risk taking in design is so important on a deep level
  • How a wedding planner could make their wedding designs more 'experiential'
  • How to get a client on-board with your creative vision and warm them up to take more risks
  • What the 'bake time of design' is and how that plays into risk taking and client relations
  • Kristin's predictions for the next two years about where live experiential events for brands are headed *How to take part in this huge surge of opportunity

You may not realize this about me… but before I was a business coach and podcaster, I was an event planner. I produced non-traditional, large-scale events for 12 years in my career. So, whenever I get the chance to sit down with my clients, like Kristin and talk (event) shop, I just absolutely LOVE it.

Hear me geek-out with Kristin, an absolute innovator and disruptor in the live events industry. Kristin is working behind-the-scenes on some of the biggest movie studio premiere after-parties and brand activations out there. Who knows, maybe you'll see her design work at Coachella, SXSW or on the runway in the year ahead.
