Conversations With #AskAsh

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep with Bree Carroll, an event strategist and founder of B Carroll Events. Bree shares her journey from being a military wife and mom to becoming a leading figure in the event planning industry. In our conversation, Bree opens up about her initial career in civil engineering and how her skills as a problem solver and project manager seamlessly transitioned into her passion for event planning. She emphasized the importance of creating events that go beyond aesthetics to deliver real impact and transformation, coining her approach as creating "EPIC" (Experiences with Purpose, Impact, and Community) events. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes of event planning, the transition from traditional employment to entrepreneurship, and the strategies for building impactful community-driven events.

The person behind the business. There’s nothing like unpacking the finer details of someone’s story. I see the threads of details that aren’t common to the naked eye. With Jess’ story, she shares her personal journey of facing a fatal car accident at a young age and the impact it had on her life. Instead of letting the tragedy consume her, Jess found the strength to turn her pain into purpose and use her experience to help others. But that’s not where the story ends. In fact, her journey is unfolding in spectacular ways and she shares with us how she started in public speaking business and why she blew up a very successful business model to align with her values and goals.

If you don’t have the right foundation, nothing that you build will last. For most project leaders, we’ve experienced the pain, confusion, and outright frustration of being dropped into a middle of a project with no documentation, wondering what is going on. Perhaps, you’ve been handed a project with barely any direction or scope. This is why the start of a project is just as important as how it is completed. In this episode, we dive into Slack’s 2023 State of Work Report. Why? Because the world has been turned upside down and the way we work and communicate is drastically different before 2020 vs. now. Plus, I've got a case study that's all about initiating state-wide change with a mobile app aimed at serving underserved communities. Whether you're a project leader, a team member, or just curious about efficient project execution, this episode packs insights, laughs, and some real talk on navigating the digital era of teamwork and productivity.

Now that we’ve laid out some of the important pillars behind communication throughout the earlier episodes of this series– let’s get down to business! How does one actually apply these learnings to create a communications plan? You might think creating guidelines for the way your organization and its components communicate is overkill, or may even make things awkward or inefficient. Rather than forcing unrealistic guidelines and processes on your team, to create a proper communications plan is to consider the most efficient and therefore comfortable ways of getting information to the right places at the right times. Framed that way, it’s actually about eliminating that awkwardness and inefficiency before it arises, and adapting between what works and does not work overtime! Now you might ask yourself, “how does one go about doing that?” In this episode, we break down… Bad idea!

I wanted to cover a subject that I feel is a bit underrepresented, especially in the dynamic of a professional setting– and that is the subject of conflict! There’s an art to fighting, and I’m not referring to Martial Arts when I say that. I’m talking about the art of arguing with grace when conflict does arise. Even when conflict makes us uncomfortable (as it should!), there may be valuable information and resolution that we leave on the table when we don’t know how to argue with grace. In no way am I advocating for arguing, any behavior that crosses boundaries or hurts people. Conflict is a natural part of life, and in this episode I work on outlining the healthiest practices and approaches to making it far more constructive than it is destructive.

What is an async world? In this episode, we breakdown asynchronous communication and how to make it work for you and your team! Asynchronous communication has been around in some degree for quite a while, but our circumstances with the pandemic and remote work have drastically increased the amount of async communication that we have in our teams on a day to day basis. Since none of us were handed a playbook on how to communicate in this new world, I decided to share some of the practices that have been helping me navigate communication with my team.

Welcome to the season of communication breakdown! After a brief hiatus and period of reflection where I consumed different information from expert podcasters and business professionals, had open conversations with podcast producers, and prayed for creative inspiration, I had an epiphany that led to the theme of this season. Communication is the lifeblood of your organization, and needless to say, it’s been completely upended by the pandemic with the advent of remote work. Managers were faced with the task of restructuring their teams and workflows to satisfy new needs in a changing work environment. But since not every person, team, and organization has adapted in the same way, in this episode we delve into the details of the top of mind actions you can take to preserve and improve upon communication at work.
