	"Your book is full of tips and helpful advice from sourcing a suitable location through to managing the event itself. I especially loved the 'Top Tip Ticks' and will continue to use your book as a survival guide when planning for future events... " International Events Manager Nutrienergetics click here for full testimonial ... Hi Karen Just returned from our three day conference in Dusseldorf... The CEO and Directors of the Company were particularly impressed by the comprehensive itinerary that I put together for the event. This not only allowed them to see at a glance what was happening but also to see where there input was required. Prior to taking your 'Happiness Is a Ticked Off List' course I had run countless events and whilst most were a huge success, I always felt totally stressed and wondered why I was the only person running backwards and forwards doing everything myself! By applying what you had taught me with regards to communicating the 'comprehensive itinerary' with everyone who was involved, it not only halved my workload but also reduced my stress levels. Aside from the course, your book is full of tips and helpful advice from sourcing a suitable location through to managing the event itself. I especially loved the 'Top Tip Ticks' and will continue to use your book as a survival guide when planning for future events. Even though I considered myself to be a good events manager prior to attending your course and reading the book, I feel that I have now earned the title of 'Proficient Events Manager'. Your book is a definite must read for anyone contemplating working within events or for those who are already working within this industry. Kind regards International Events Manager Nutrienergetics Close
