#94 - Surviving A Moment of Chaos

Things can go wrong and they usually will. As prepared or as positive and optimistic as anyone can be with a professional project, what do you do when plans just fall apart? What do you do when stakes are high, technical difficulties come at you one after another, key players fall through, budgets get strained, relationships get rocky, and your frazzled team is counting on you to help pull through the chaos? In this episode, Minji shares some key lessons learned from over a decade of producing live events, project management, & leading teams of people.  After a particularly challenging Kollaboration production wrapped, she provides a debrief of how to plan, execute & stay flexible when things don't turn out the way you expected. And how even in the middle of stressful situations, you can find a way to power through it and gain valuable insight on how to become wiser, savvier, and more effective moving forward. What does not kill us makes us stronger, yall.
