As I sat in the Brick bar last Saturday, surrounded by adults jumping into ball ponds and building lego, I was reminded of a talk I went to and a book I read by Ingrid Fetell Lee called Joyful. Ingrid speaks about embracing the joy in the everyday, whether that’s childlike play, vibrant colours, nature or bubbles, amongst other things.
We are currently surrounded by lots of advice about getting a good work-life balance – embracing self-care practices, meditation, exercise and time out, all of which I think are very important. But the dilemma lies in the constant blurring between work and life so it’s important to make sure our work, as well as play, is joyful.
When I ran the Diamond Jubilee Pageant, we processed a huge number of invoices each week, so to make this more enjoyable, my colleague and I used to make up songs related to each of the invoices (my favourite was Mr. Sandbags!) Approving invoices was never so much fun!
So how can we make the event industry more joyful?
And above all smile 😊
