Gor Gyulkhasyan joins the Planners on Purpose podcast to discuss social event trends insights from Permeet.  Permeet is a digital planning tool that can be used when planning social events like birthdays, anniversaries, and even weddings. 

Social event trends can be here today, and gone tomorrow, however, Gor highlights key trends that he's currently seeing when it comes to those planning and using the Permeet App to include:

• Personalized and unique experiences are still leading as a trend, everyone wants to find out how to infuse personality into their events. 
• Sustainability is making a comeback, and with social events, many like to see how they can incorporate sustainable gifts.
• Digitalization is on the rise. No longer are planners using paper binders. There is an embracing of the use of digital tools, like Permeet for notetaking, planning, and sending invitations. 
• The impression of having an event in-person is back, and there is a focus on having heartfelt meaningful connections. 
•  Many planners are stepping away from the luxurious and extravagant events to have a unique experience.
• Hybrid celebrations are becoming more of a unique option that people are using to connect with their guests in different ways.

Gor and I had a discussion regarding AI, and how the use of different solutions are rarely being implemented especially with personal events. 

When asked about the struggles that people have when planning personal events, Gor had many, but mainly,  people struggle with managing expectations. Aligning expectations so that there can be a universal enjoyable experience.   

Gor says there is a fine line between tailoring individual preferences yet still ensuring that the event has a broad appeal for all the guests is a continuous struggle in personal events.  

Another challenge that Gor commented on was regarding the event budget. He mentioned that ensuring a memorable experience while adhering to the budget and making choices that optimize cost and quality can be a continuous challenge.

Finally, Gor gave us some insight into the Permeet app and how it is a holistic tool to plan smaller personal events. This tool can give the planners some ease when it comes to "life plans" making things just a bit easier on the personal front. From the planning of the event, and note-taking, to communicating with vendors, and even sending event invitations, Permeet seems to have it all in one place for small personal event planners.

Has curiosity or necessity driven your event career success? That's the question that is being asked in this podcast episode and what we will dig into deeper.

When it comes to having curiosity, this soft skill can bring a lot of expansion in your life. It allows you to explore, figure things out, learn new things, and think outside of the box. When you don't have curiosity, you aren't as curious and when you aren't as curious, it leaves you stagnant, staying in the same situation, prevent you from learning and taking risks. The point is we should be more curious in our careers.

So curiosity is something that is a good trait for you to have, and it can really be useful when it comes to your event planning career. On the other hand, there is a little thing called necessity. We find that necessity can be a big driver within our careers too.  It's important to know, however, that necessity is a word that's rooted in need, and if you move jobs based off of needs without adding in curiosity, it can definitely put you in a bind.

This episode explores curiosity versus necessity, how they interrelate, and how you can feel better about working with these two outlooks, for you to have a successful event career.

Event managers are in an industry that is built on supreme service. Due to our service standards, we aim to please our clients, customers, and attendees. Although serving and exceeding expectations of the people that we work with may seem like a good thing, it could actually have its opposite effect if we aren't checking ourselves appropriately.

This episode unpacks how to say no and thrive as an event manager. Saying no, as an event manager in an industry that is built on servicing the client can be definitely tough. There can be a lot of guilt, a lot of shame behind us, saying no. Yet, the truth is, saying no it can actually help the person that's requesting something of you. There are strategies to say no and a time and a place for you to be able to say no in which this episode walks through.

For instance, if you absolutely know that you can do a particular task, then saying no isn't the best option. Perhaps you want to lean on helping out your clients and customers you want to go the extra mile in support and help them if you do have the time, and the bandwidth, and the capability to do so.

However, if none of those areas, fit your situation.  If you perhaps are out of time, energy, and bandwidth to be able to support any type of request. You might be the prime candidate for saying no as a strategy for self-care. This episode unpacks, three specific strategies, to say no, do it in a way that removes ambiguity, put the onus back on the requester, and even show you ways to say no, without even saying the word "no". I hope you enjoy this episode.

Many of the experiences that we have can be used for inspiration for event marketing. In this episode, I share a little bit of my holiday tradition and help share some insights from my experience and it can apply to events.

In marketing events, it's important that we focus on experience. Our attendees should be excited for our events, and have an enjoyable experience, along with an incentive to come back again for a great time. 

A few of the areas that I cover in this episode that can enhance marketing are having a warm welcome, being consistent, and having a great sendoff. These are very simple but can make a powerful impact. Inspiration can come from anywhere and it doesn't have to be complex. Simple things that make us think differently and bring creative opportunities for our events.

Have you ever felt your brain drain after a long day? This can happen when you go through much stress and have to recall and lean on your short-term memory. In this episode, we will talk about brain drain and stress, and how it interacts together and can make it difficult for you to recall such things as remembering your keys in the car or remembering names, or faces.

We can overwork our brains often; it is how we use our brains throughout the day. Doing simple exercises can help you to decrease stress, but also stimulate your brain to recall things that you want much faster. 

When we can recall more easily, we can combat stress better and help innovate and find different solutions for our clients, customers, and organizations.

It can be such a struggle to cope with life changes. You struggle with understanding that changes happening, and you may also struggle on understanding what the next step for you might be. In this episode, we unpack some insights on how to cope with life changes, so that you find yourself moving through them with more ease.

When you are coping with the changes that are going on in your life, it's important to create space for the journey. This means clearing out things in your life so that you are able to walk through a difficult time. That could mean removing some work off your plate, which comes down to putting less-priority tasks off to the side for a little while. Creating space for you to emotionally move through the changes that are going on will be helpful to you

Other areas that we discussed on this podcast episode is ensuring that you have someone to talk to. This means your family, friends, or someone you trust to talk to and hear you out, and listen to what you're struggling with. We also chat about the importance to go at your own pace. Everyone goes through life changes differently, and it is OK for you to go through it the way you can.

Finally, just know that there is a silver lining in the changes that you're going through. It can be hard to recognize it, but even if the silver lining is that you can get through it, that can be within itself comforting.

When so many in our industry, struggle with stress and overwhelm, it's important to know that it's not always the work that we are dealing with that causes the overwhelm it can just be purely that we're going through some type of additional change in our lives that makes us not be able to handle our capacities in the same way that we have done in the past. And it's okay.
