Good morning! Sorry, this one is so late! WWU sites were down all last week so now we are back! So far for my venture, I’ve reached out to a heck of a lot of people. That’s kinda what you have to do when you are trying to throw an event. Seraphia, Tara, and Aida have been awesome resources for understanding what is required of me and what steps I should take to make my event a success! I hope to talk to Meg this next week which will be super useful.
I’m good on evidence and customer discovery. Right now my main focus is figuring out who should perform at the event (music-wise). We want to keep a consistent vibe which can be a big challenge. The other thing I’m trying to figure out is how to create the right environment for the event so that everyone feels comfortable. I also have a team together and we are each working on our own part of the project!
I learned that it’s important to use coaching for helping others learn about their emotions. I think people really struggle to understand what’s behind their first reaction to things. They may have logic for it but I find there is a lack of knowledge of how they truly feel. I have applied this to my relationship with my boyfriend because he has a hard time talking about how he feels. So I do this with him and it helps.
I’m not really sure that I learned anything this week from class that will help me with my venture.
Hey Zosia!
Good for you for getting in contact with Serafima, Tara, and Aida! They’re all such excellent people to ask about this type of thing.
When you said you’re looking for musicians the first person who came to mind who might be willing to perform is my friend Austin Colwell, who makes music as Harbor Day! He also plays in a band name Hockey Teeth. Not sure if his music is exactly the vibe you’re going for, but even if it isn’t he might know of some other musicians you could reach out too (he lives in a house with like 6 other musicians).
And I would love to hear more about your team and how you guys are working together to make the event happen 🙂
Let me know if you want me to put you into contact with Austin!
