P2P Family we are back with our H.E.R series to sh P2P Family we are back with our H.E.R series to shout-out another fearless, resilient, and innovative woman of color.  Meet Joy Proctor- one of the most highly sought after celebrity wedding designers and editorialist stylists. Named top event designer by Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and Brides, Joy is truly a force to be reckoned with.   When the 2020 quarantine hit, Joy, like many in the industry, was severely impacted. Faced with cancelled events, and many unknowns, Joy admittedly struggled to keep business afloat. However, Joy would soon discover that the pandemic would turn out to be one of her greatest blessings.  In the calm of things, it was here that Joy would begin her journey of self-discovery and reflection. She began to focus on what was most important life, and she saw that it was to use her skills to be a blessing for others.   As such, #projecthumankindness was birthed- an initiative that supports artisans worldwide by selling their work and putting 100% of the process towards the non-profit organizations that benefit them. Her recent work includes styling baskets made by women in her home country of Swaziland.    Check it out 🙂   #projectkindness #blackgirlsrock #resilience
We all let comparison get the best of us sometimes We all let comparison get the best of us sometimes- I know I certainly have. And with social media constantly displaying everyone’s achievements and victories, it seems like an impossible thing to avoid. Comparison is a natural human tendency and is not bad in and of itself- however, when done without restraint can stir up feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. That’s why it’s always so important that we learn to pause and focus on the good things and achievements in our lives. We must cultivate an attitude of gratitude, and learn to celebrate every victory big and small! This is the key to true happiness 🙂 #gratitude #truesuccess

P2P PRO TIP Series: How to select the right venue P2P PRO TIP Series: How to select the right venue for your client P2P Pro Tip 1: Clearly know your client’s vision When planning an event take the time to really understand your client’s likes, dislikes, and needs – after all the vision is the roadmap for the event. From there you will have clear picture of who and what to look for. This will help you to avoid potential misunderstandings and mistakes! P2P Pro Tip 2: Seek partnership The venue is, and should be your partner! They are there to listen, accommodate, and support your clients vision. Scope out the atmosphere- if you sense that the vendor is challenging and uncooperative, don’t be afraid to seek another company. Remember, relationships are everything! Tip 3: Negotiate, Negotiate, Negotiate! Always, negotiate to get the best-bang for your buck. Study the contract, and know exactly what the venue will be providing. Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for more. Companies are usually more than willing to work with you.
