Making the step change from Events Manager to Event Head or Director

Topics

Event management

Making the transition from being a manager and team member, to leadership can be a daunting change.  

Making the transition from being a manager and team member, to leadership can be a daunting change.  The operational and practical expertise that led to the promotion may become less important than the ability to think commercially and long-term and bring out the best in the existing team.  Learn from our experienced speaker, an Events Director of many years’ standing who is also a business coach. 

Hear about:

  • Learning to “let go” and the art of delegation
  • Selling the events function to the board
  • Getting the most out of your event team
  • From colleague to boss - adjusting to the role
  • Managing workload and stress for you and your team
  • Moving from operational to commercial thinking
  • Mentoring and coaching junior colleagues
  • Managing conflict

Speaker

Kate Ray

Personal Performance Coach, Association of Professional Staffing Companies

Personal Performance Coach, Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and licensed Practitioner of Motivational Maps.

Kate has over 15 years’ experience working in the event industry.   Kate has worked in commercial, not for profit and government. She began her career as a Conference Assistant at Informa and after promotions to Team leader, then went to work for IQPC as a Conference Director.  During her time at IQPC she was seconded to their Singapore Office General Manager. Her commercial experience and passion to make a difference led her to change direction and work for not for profit and government organisations.

Kate faced the many challenges when being promoted with little or no management training.  How do you make that switch from a ‘team mate’ to managing and leading your friends. From these experiences and her passion to find out what motivates people and how to empower and engage them, she set up as a personal performance coach, helping people to reach their full potential.
