AI Won't Take Your Job â But Someone Who Understands It Will
This week I want to talk about something that I believe is the single most important mindset shift happening in our industry right now. And I want to be transparent with you: it's also the reason I'm evolving what I do and what this community is becoming. Let's get into it. 1. THE STATEMENT THAT SHOULD WAKE EVERY HOSPITALITY PRO UP "AI won't take your job â but someone who understands AI will." This isn't a threat. It's an invitation. The people who will lead the hospitality and events industry in the next 5 years are the ones learning AI right now. Not the technology itself, but how to apply it to real work, client experiences, event logistics, team communications, vendor management, and more. The gap between those who lean in and those who wait is widening every single day. 2. WHY I'M PIVOTING AND WHY IT MATTERS FOR YOU After years building my expertise in the events industry, I've made a decision: I'm combining everything I know about hospitality and events with the AI skills I've been developing and I'm bringing it here, to this community, first. This isn't about becoming a tech person. It's about being an events and hospitality professional who uses the most powerful tools available. I want to be the guide I wish I'd had. And this community is where I'll be sharing it all. 3. AI IS NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL AND HOSPITALITY IS UNIQUE The events and hospitality industry has nuances that generic AI advice doesn't address. Our timelines are unpredictable. Our clients are emotional. Our teams are stretched thin. Our logistics are complex. That's exactly why industry-specific AI education matters. I'm not here to teach you ChatGPT for the sake of it, I'm here to show you how it applies to YOUR work: run-of-show documents, supplier briefs, post-event reports, team onboarding, and so much more. 4. THE SKILLS GAP IS REAL AND IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY Right now, the majority of professionals in our industry are not using AI in any meaningful way. That means the learning curve is still accessible and the competitive advantage is still up for grabs.

Community Change
Hey everyone! I have some exciting news to share and some good news specifically for YOU. Starting April 24th, this community is officially becoming a paid membership. This means new members will pay $27 to join, which will allow me to invest even more into the content, resources, and support I bring to this space. But here's the thing: because you were here from the beginning, you're getting in FREE â for life (or as long as you stay a member). No charges, no catch. This is my way of saying thank you for believing in this community early on. One important note: please don't leave and rejoin the community, as you'd lose your free access and be prompted to pay like any new member. I'm grateful to have you here, and I can't wait to share with you what's coming next. â Teresa

Stop Drowning in Admin. How AI Gives You Your Time Back
Hey everyone! Welcome back to this week's deep dive. Last week we talked about the big picture: Why understanding AI is becoming a competitive edge in our industry. A few of you messaged me privately to say it resonated, but also that AI still feels a little overwhelming or out of reach. That response told me exactly what we need to talk about this week. This post is for anyone who's thought: "I'm not a tech person. I wouldn't even know where to start." You're in the right place. Let's go slowly, practically, and without any jargon. 1. FIRST â LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE SOMETHING REAL Admin is quietly stealing your career. Not dramatically. Not all at once. But hour by hour, the emails, the proposals, the briefing documents, the follow-up messages, the checklists, they suck up your time. Many hospitality and events professionals spend more time on documentation than they do on actual creative or strategic work. That's not a personal failing. It's a structural problem with how our industry has always operated. AI is the first tool that genuinely addresses it; not by replacing your judgment, but by handling the mechanical parts of the job so you can focus on the parts that actually need you. 2. WHAT "USING AI" ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE Forget the sci-fi images. Forget the robots. In practice, using AI for admin looks like this: you open a browser tab, type a description of what you need, and get back a solid first draft in under 30 seconds. You read it. You adjust the tone. You add the specific details only you know. You send it or save it as a template. That's it. That's the workflow. It's less complicated than learning a new piece of event software, and the payoff is immediate. You don't need to understand how it works. You just need to know what to ask it for. 3. THE ADMIN TASKS AI HANDLES BRILLIANTLY (RIGHT NOW, TODAY) Here are the things AI is genuinely great at for our industry: ⢠Client emails: first contact, follow-ups, difficult conversations, thank-you notes

Advice
Job seekers also get confused about: including an objective (don't use a summary instead), how far back to go (last 10â15 years only), hobbies (skip unless directly relevant), listing every skill (no, only those matching the job), freelance work (list it as a job with "(Contract)" next to title), references (never include or say "available upon request"), using the same action verbs (vary them try "built," "cut," "launched"), mismatched job titles (use real title + clarifying line like "equivalent to manager"), salary history (never include), and whether to resubmit after a typo (yes, immediately with apology and corrected file).

Staying Committed as an Event EntrepreneurÂ
Letâs talk truth: Building your own event planning business is a wild ride. One month you feel unstoppable.The next, youâre questioning every decision youâve made. Sound familiar? Here are 7 key reminders to help you stay focused, resilient, and committed, even when it gets hard: 1. Vision Over Vibes. Your feelings will fluctuate but your vision shouldnât. Tip: Revisit your why regularly and write it where you can see it. 2. Progress Isnât Always Loud. Just because itâs not viral doesnât mean itâs not valuable. Tip: Track small wins such as client feedback, new leads, improved systems. They compound. 3. Choose Consistency Over Hustle. You donât need to burn out to âmake it.â Tip: Set a weekly rhythm you can sustain. Show up when itâs boring. Thatâs where growth happens. 4. Surround Yourself with Builders. Motivation dies in isolation. Tip: Post in this group weekly. Connect. Be seen. Share struggles and celebrate wins. 5. Donât Compare Your Chapter 2 to Someoneâs Chapter 20. This is a big one! Your journey is unique. Tip: Use others for inspiration, not as a measuring stick. 6. Build Systems, Not Just Momentum. Systems create stability when motivation fades. Tip: Automate outreach, prep checklists, templates, anything that saves mental bandwidth. 7. Expect the Dip and Push Through It Every business has slow seasons, quiet launches, and dry leads. Tip: Stay curious. Adjust what isnât working, but donât quit the whole game. Whatâs one strategy that helps you stay focused when things get tough?
