Navigating Uncertain Times: 2020–2022
What a time to be working in events
If there’s one industry not to be in at the beginning of a global pandemic — it’s events.
Having spent 2 years of my life bringing people together, it was strange to be in a world where we were all forced apart.
Initially I thought I’d have a relaxing 2 weeks walking the dog.
Though the dog and I did walk — a lot — 2 weeks turned out to be 2 years.
Since this soon became one of the few legal activities I was allowed to do, the pandemic left me racking my brains about how to fill the hours stuck at home.
Let me be clear, I’m incredibly grateful that I did not have vulnerable relatives or many of the terrible challenges that other people had at that point.
I can’t imagine how torturous it was for those who did.
Instead, I figured if I’m going to be stuck at home, I may as well learn something.
While others perfected their banana bread, or repainted their flat, I can now wallpaper my house with Coursera certificates.
During 2020 I also started my MBA.
As my friends and family will tell you, me mentioning my MBA is like other people telling you about being vegan. You will find out about it…
