Socialising with people, Planning /Hosting events. Dancing

I volunteered in a Non-Profit Organisation called CCfm, Children in Action and Colleens place of Hope. April- November 2012 by doing Public Relations duties on behalf of my Studies and emailing the local newspapers for the advertisement of events.


I am the planner and execute all gathering and youth group events, I recently decided to take on wedding/birthday and babyshower planning.Event planning is more than just making a to-do list. As an event planner, you need to use your creativity to bring a vision to life. No matter what people say, creativity is a learnable skill and can be built over time. It is an essential event planning skill that is required to infuse authenticity and passion into each event. Even though your events may not have a lot of room for innovation and creativity, there is always wiggle room to do things differently even if you are limited by the requirements of your client. For instance, you can be creative with the event theme, choose a unique venue or have a motivational speaker. For some creative ideas, seek inspiration from online blogs, social media channels, or an influencer.
