Day 3 of Event Wellbeing Week is all about doing the work you don’t put on a timesheet — the inner work. The truth? Most of the real stress in events doesn’t come from the spreadsheet — it comes from the voice in your head.
Why It Matters:
You can be technically brilliant but still held back by your inner critic. Building confidence, challenging perfectionism, and backing yourself are all wellbeing essentials for event professionals.
Practical Tips:
- Notice and challenge negative self-talk
- Use affirmations and mantras to shift perspective
- Keep a “hype folder” of praise and wins
- Focus on progress, not perfection
- Silence the comparison trap (especially online!)
Workplace Implementation Ideas:
- Build in post-event reflection and celebration
- Promote coaching or peer support
- Include mindset training in CPD plans
Quote of the Day:
“Confidence isn’t about being fearless. It’s about showing up anyway.”
