Q: What are the things you have been procrastinating but being in EBS has helped you take action?
A: Putting my face out there, posting relatable contents on my page, showing the BTS (behind the scenes of my events), speaking so much about what I do and carrying my business on my head. These are the things that EBS has pushed me to do!
Q: Why was it important for you to join EBS?
A: I was in a very busy season and I had said I wouldn’t join but after a particular masterclass where Coach D read out the course outline, I knew immediately that I needed the class and signed up for it right after. I then made a commitment to myself to put in my very best because whatever is worth doing at all is what doing well – I posted it on my personal and business pages on Instagram. You can go there to catch all the gist.
Super well done to you!
Q: While working on the lead magnet what were your major highlights?
A: The major highlights were the thoughts of what the lead magnet could do: Value proposition, relevance, solving a problem and also working on it to make it relatable and visually appealing. I think what I have now meets all these requirements and I can’t wait to push it out!
Q: How did you feel showing up on your first Instagram LIVE?
This is one of my new found strength as I have done another IG live after the one we were all asked to do in class. I actually went live with an open mind and just allowed the words flow and it was a great experience for me. I look forward to channeling some energy into doing more Instagram LIVES. Stay tuned for that.
yay! this is a huge win!
“EBS enhanced my creativity and propelled me to take action!”
Q: In EBS, we had an assignment of writing 750 words daily. How did this help you?
A: 750 words became a good tool for me. I noticed improvement in my writing skills, enhanced creativity, clarity of thoughts, confidence, self reflection, effective communication, stress relief, documentation of progress and personal growth. I have taken journaling more serious after EBS.
Q: What difference have noticed from optimizing your page ? If you were a visitor to your page, would you find it captivating enough to stay?
A: After optimizing my page, I can boldly say that all that was said which includes: creating a cohesive and engaging experience that resonates with your target audience, encourages interaction, and effectively communicates your brand’s identity and offerings is totally true.
My friends and colleagues have been hyping have been hyping me about the work I’ve put in. If I were a visitor, yes I would stay, save and share some of the tips on the page also. (You can check out my Instagram page).
Q: What key things did you learn from the Marketing Module? If you have implemented some, what has been your experience so far?
A: I was actually so glad and pumped the marketing class and I got more than I bargained for. It’s a great deal to Maximize one’s digital footprints as we’ve been taught. I actually like what I was able to do with Medium, Linktree, LinkedIn, about.me and Google my business. It is a good feeling to know that when clients search for me, all my details are carefully put out there and everything tallies!
Q: Of all the templates shared, which have you found to be a DIAMOND?
A: The templates are actually the icing on the cake, having worked with Coach D on a number of projects and seen how she is with documents and designs, it’s been a blessing to actually have as much templates as possible which you can move around and customize to suit your client’s style and wants as the case may be. The Package and invoice templates have me grinning from ear to ear whenever I’m using it.
Q: I believe you came into EBS with expectations ? Were they met ?
A: Yes, Coach D over delivered on this cohort and I’m imagining what the next cohorts would enjoy already. I actually got everything I wanted from the worksheets, to the class work, to the assignments, and then the templates, scenarios based discussions and our facilitators – EBS was the bomb! The best gift to myself this year.
Q: As a senior EBS tribe, what advise would you give to the next set of EBS tribe?
A: Come with an open mind, free your calendar as much as you can and be at your best for the school. Be ready to put in all the work immediately as you are been taught so the fire can spread even after the school. Don’t procrastinate. Don’t allow laziness overwhelm you. You can do it!
Q: Any final words?
The Event Business School is an ACTION GROUND! I’m so thankful to have been part of the very first set. A Huge Thank you to Coach D for not holding back, for giving more than expected and for holding my hand and leading me on this journey. I’m going to make EBS proud!
