Let’s face it, if you’re running a one-man show, this soiree
better be at your home, and it better be a small intimate
event. I suppose that would be considered a gathering
though, wouldn’t it? Allow enough planning time so that
the details of your event are locked in at least 2 months
prior to the day of the event. You want things to run
smoothly and you want to be prepared when they don’t;
avoid situations where you are running around crazy
making things right. You don’t want to sweat out that
perfect outfit that you chose especially for your soiree and
you don’t want that fabulous makeup to be overshadowed
by stress on your face. If you are confident, your soiree
will exude the same.
Perhaps this last piece of advice is actually more of a life
lesson. Your confidence will be bolstered when you take
time out to learn who you are. When you learn that you
are the only you and made perfectly, no matter what you
are wearing, regardless of how you’ve painted your face,
in spite of the shoes on your feet, apart from any disaster
that befalls your soiree, you can hold your head high and
walk with confidence. Each of us has a talent or a purpose
that screams brilliance. I recommend taking out time to
find out what drives you, what brings out your passion.
There is nothing more confident than passion; it will shine
through from the inside out and cause people to gravitate
towards the beauty of who you are. If things don’t go all
the way right, because you understand that you are great
nevertheless, your guests will let you make it – at least
once or twice. J For events in particular, you will know
after the first few events whether or not you have a knack
for event planning or producing. You will know if you can
stand in the face of pressure and survive without losing
any hair, without having one sip too much of your favorite
adult beverage. Which leads me to one last tip – enjoy
yourself, it’s a party! Your smile and warm welcome will
scream confidence.
