Event Wellbeing Week Day 3 – The Inner Work Is the Real Work

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.”
