What approach do you take to planning events? Do you prefer the creative, spontaneous approach? Or do you enjoy carefully planning every element (and then putting together Plan B and Plan C)?<\/p>\n
There are many different approaches to planning great events, and the dominant side of your brain has much to do with how you visualize, plan, and carry out your event. Here\u2019s how to make the most of your event-planning brain.<\/p>\n
Right brain dominant planners are visual, intuitive and spontaneous. Do you love being centre stage, meeting new people, and hitting the dance floor? Then you\u2019re almost certainly a right brainer.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re great at:<\/p>\n
Any event will be a hit, with you at the centre! But, you\u2019ve got to admit \u2013 planning isn\u2019t exactly one of your strong points. You\u2019ll have to focus on taking care of the business side as well as the creative side, that\u2019s the way to make every event a sure success.<\/p>\n
Left brain dominant people are detail-oriented, have an amazing memory, and are especially skilled at quickly analysing problems and coming up with solutions. Do you love number crunching? Are you sometimes introverted? Then you\u2019re a left brainer.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re great at:<\/p>\n
As a pro planner, you see problems before they arise. As a perfectionist, you\u2019ll have to work on being flexible and letting things play out during the event. Once you know everything is going well, let your hair down and enjoy the event!<\/p>\n
The truth is, we all use both sides of our brain. As event professionals, we might prefer certain types of activities, but we\u2019ve learned to tap into the other side of the brain to achieve our goals.<\/p>\n
When building a team, it\u2019s worthwhile being aware of your dominant side, so you can hire colleagues that complement your skill set. You can spend more time on the aspects of the role that interest you most, and collaborate effectively with people who offset your brain balance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
