Planning an Event with the End in Mind
Nicole Santer has been in the event industry since she was a child. She remembers helping her family fold napkins and set tables for huge banquets and gatherings.
It wasn't until after she enjoyed a career in completely different fields for many years that she came back to events, and when she did, it felt exactly right to her.

She knows all the things that can go wrong, and she knows exactly what can make an event absolutely magical. Nicole's combination of strategic and creative thinking are what make her extraordinary at what she does.
During our conversation, Nicole shared her vision for her event company, Event Buzz 360. As an event planner myself, I am intrigued and excited about the potential. The idea is to create an interactive directory of services for event planners - across the globe. It's brilliant, though the timing was tricky. She launched in early 2020, just weeks before the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABOUT SARAH:
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
Quote from Sarah Elkins plus image of Sarah with her dog, Toby
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
