Just like anything, events have many challenges along the way. Some are simple, a last minute items, and some are larger, the entertainment is an hour late. Each specific challenge needs to be handled differently. Sometimes the best thing to do is to completely leave it alone. I often times have to remind myself that although I'd like to change or fix a situations, I sometimes can't. For example, one of my performers were running late. The show began at 9pm and they were instructed to be at the venue by 7:30pm. Around 8pm I was panicking and worried. But, I realized again that this situation I could not control. There was no point in getting upset until the show was ready to commence. Sure enough they showed up by 8:30 and were ready to go on time. I did not approach them about their timing issue as I had realized it truly was insignificant to the event so long as they were there.
An important thing I've learned along the way is that it is very important to remain calm at all times. Should anything go wrong at an event the best thing to do is to stay calm. If guests or attendees see the host or coordinator upset or frantic, naturally the ambiance will change and the guests will recognize the issue.
Remaining calm, assertive and always smiling is key when hosting or coordinating an event.
