And just like that my time Fast Forward 15 has come to an end!
What a wonderful year it has been.

I have loved being a mentee and cannot thank my mentor Vicky enough!

I have become a more confident, happy, motivated event professional with clearer goals.

Having started a new role I am truly grateful to Fay, the mentors, mentees, guest speakers and event Industry contacts I have met on this journey.

The late night calls, weekend work, education away days, mentorship, events and opportunities are a once in a life time experience. Thank you

Started my new role at Groceryaid as a fundraising executive! 👩‍💼

Been here for a week and have already learned so much! Looking forward to my new career where I will grow,develop and gain experience in a new charity sector

This charity has been providing emotional, practical and financial support for grocery people since 1857 and hosting outstanding events to raise valuable funds and awareness

The day I accepted the role I went for a run and saw a rainbow 🌈 which is the charities logo - it was a sign!!

Rewind a few years and I remember going to my first thinking I want to stand on that stage one day.

On Tuesday I achieved that goal! Speaking along side Fay Sharpe OBE Griffith and Zarywacz about goal setting, empowering, inspiring and achieving - I loved it!

Another goal of mine as part of the Fast Forward 15® programme was public speaking, now I’m usually know as ‘clipboard corin’, hidden at the back of the room (no one knows I have managed the event) so this year I said YES and instead put my self forward to be front and centre and hosted The Bingo Ball with Pether and and what an amazing night it was!

The past year has been full on but so worth it and I wouldn’t have been able to do it with out the FF15 queens .kwon .with.becca

My top tips for your setting your Christmas Day dining table!

What do you have planned?

In the world of Events, Hospitality and Catering, Christmas can mean longer hours, busier shifts, and less time to plan for Christmas Day 🎄
​
If you’re struggling for last minute preparations for your Christmas Day Table, here are some top tips from ;
​
1. Use what you already have! Christmas tree ornaments aren’t just for the tree. They look amazing dotted around on the table.
2. Light up the table with strings of fairy lights – They illuminate off glasses, vases, and glitter.
3. Gift Wrap left over boxes, they make great centre pieces, very low cost but great impact for the theme.
4. Why not include candy sticks and gingerbread.
5. If you have small gifts to give to your guests, rather than putting them under the tree, place them on the table, and it a make it part of the dining experience.

Had a lovely few days away in Brighton. Time to switch off and enjoy the quirky little lanes and unique shops, drink lots of cocktails, have delicious food and watch a great show!

Had such a wonderful day at the weekend, at workshop making a Christmas wreath.

Driving to her work shop it started to snow! Then to be welcomed by Kay, tea, mince pies and music I am really in the Christmas spirit!

Definitely recommend Kay - she was just lovely and guided the group with top tips and advise. Clearly a master of her field!

I cannot wait to sign up to another workshop
