Planning an Event: If You Think You Can't, You're Right
Summary
Sally Thompson faced the daunting task of organizing her company's first breakfast seminar. With only the start and end times and a list of required presentations, she wondered how to make everything fit seamlessly.
Event Planning Essentials
When planning an event, remember that every hour should ideally consist of one-third listening, one-third discussion, and one-third action. This means you only need a script for about 20 minutes out of every hour. For a PowerPoint presentation, aim for one slide every three minutes, resulting in around seven slides with no more than seven bullet points each.
Simplifying Event Preparation
Approaching event material this way can ease planning anxiety. Most participants will be satisfied with standard product literature and printed slides with space for notes. If creating the presentation material is a challenge, consider hiring creative writers with presentation experience.
Designing Engaging Workshops
For workshops, organize activities to help attendees practice new concepts. Typical exercises can be paperwork-based, but sometimes abstract tasks that generate emotion and stress are beneficial. These activities, like team-building exercises, can illustrate important aspects of teamwork, customer service, anger management, and leadership. Large-scale puzzles and obstacle courses with simple props are ideal and can be rented from corporate entertainment suppliers.
Example Activity: Chinese Crackers
One effective exercise is "Chinese Crackers," based on a classic parlor game. A set of seven cushions (of various sizes) must be moved from one corner of the room to another, with a third corner for temporary storage. The rules are simple:
- Smaller cushions must always be placed on larger ones.
- Only one cushion can be moved at a time.
This task quickly turns calm participants into frenzied problem-solvers, pushing them to rethink planning and teamwork strategies under pressure.
Conclusion
By understanding the structure needed for a successful event, Sally realized her initial plans were too ambitious. She transformed a single seminar into a weekly series, providing participants with valuable content and leaving them eager for more.
This structured approach not only made the event manageable but also engaging and effective.
