Unless you are an independent business event strategist who acts as their own boss, you have probably encountered a bad boss or two in your career. You might even be dealing with one right now. As much as a bad boss might make you feel like quitting your job on certain days (fact: nearly half of Americans actually have quit a job because of a difficult superior ), it’s important to “work with the boss you have, not the boss you want,” according to Mary Abbajay.

Plan Your Meetings

So, strategic meetings management…disclaimer: This is a rant. First of all, if one more person says the word “strategic,” I am going to scream. I personally like the word “plan,” it’s parsimonious all by itself. Not pompous or self-important, but simple and easy to understand. Before the industry gets all in a ball about it, I’m not saying that strategic meetings management (SMM) isn’t important, I’m simply saying that I was terrified when I first heard the term.
