Synopsis

Events Are Easy...
At least, that is what a lot of people think!
It's just some people in a place, at a time, and it happens...
Of course, it looks easy when events have been planned with care, detail and precision. That is the art of the events professional. This book offers a practical overview to help anyone who needs to plan and deliver an event, however small or large.
Paul J. Abbott is a seasoned events professional who has enjoyed an exciting and varied career in the meetings and events industry. Like many people, he learned 'on the job' and made plenty of mistakes along the way.
From Event Coordinator on international conferences to Director in a mixed-use performance venue, he has an extensive history to draw on, from the mundane to the extraordinary. This book is the simple, straight-talking guide he would have wanted when he started out.
Paul shares thoughts and insights on everything from developing an idea and turning it into a plan, to delivering and evaluating the event. Along the way, he presents simple explanations of common terminology and practical guides on a range of subjects from identifying content to working with venues, via integrated risk management, sustainability, and a whole lot more.
"I have a unique perspective on how events work... This book brings together practical advice from my own experiences with reflections from an exciting career which I hope will inspire you, whatever stage you are at on your events journey."

    Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
     
     
      
    Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.

    Breaking the taboo starts with you. 
     
     
     
    Though the pandemic increased the visibility of our whole selves, making virtual vulnerability a more regular workplace occurrence, stigma surrounding mental illness remains. It's easy to ask for time off when you break a leg; it's difficult to share with your boss and colleagues if you're suffering a depressive episode. And, how do those conversations go if you're the boss? You want to say and do the right thing to support your people and your organization—and avoid legal issues.
