My first career was as a Colour Technician in a hair salon in Toronto.  I loved it.  It was creative, fun and of course, colourful.  I loved my clients, they taught me much about life and I grew up quickly listening to their stories\u2026. We\u2019d share conversations about happy times and sad times.  Over the years of listening to life stories, I was able to lend an objective perspective to my clients.  I felt like I was helping them to see the other side sometimes and funny enough, they listened and appreciated the help.<\/p>\n<p>A number of years went by, and I was struggling for change.  I wanted a big change and went from being a Hairdresser to an Executive Assistant.  My friends thought I was crazy\u2026 \u201cYou\u2019ll hate it,\u201d they said, \u201can office!?!?\u201d But something was telling me I had to try it.<\/p>\n<p>One day someone asked me about my change and if it was something that I really wanted. He asked me: \u201cWhat do you want to do with your life?\u201d  The funny thing was, I didn\u2019t know how to answer the question.  It was borderline scary.  I thought, did I make a mistake changing careers, will I be happy? In the back of my mind, all I heard was \u201chelp others.\u201d I wanted to help others?  What kind of answer was that?! I thought I was truly crazy and didn\u2019t think that was the \u201cright\u201d answer. Years later and I kept thinking about that question, and the answer that nagged me\u2026 But how can I \u201chelp others?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I started my job, I realized the answer to the question <i>was<\/i> to help others.  I loved helping my boss and fellow associates.  It was the right answer.  To help others. That\u2019s what I want to do.<\/p>\n<p>Event management really came into mind 5 years ago when I started planning my own wedding and all the events that went along with it and the events after marriage. People would tell me \u201cThis is your calling, Jess. It just comes so naturally, I don\u2019t know how you do it.\u201d I entertained the idea of planning but thought nothing of it. But the idea brewed in the back of my head\u2014maybe this is how I can help others?<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until I was on Mat Leave that I took the first step I needed to investigate this thought. I registered myself in QC\u2019s Event &amp; Wedding Planning course.  I thought after all this time I need a new challenge and I want this. I wanted to help others create events of their dreams.  The itch was there. So during my daughter\u2019s naps, I would do my homework and submit my assignments.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing the course was very rewarding. It really kick started the desire to move forward into helping myself and my future as an Event Planner.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I know this is my calling.  I love events. It\u2019s how I can help others and still express my creativity.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_typical_day-in-the-life_look_like_for_you\"><\/span>What does a typical day-in-the-life look like for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I work for a Commercial Real Estate firm in Toronto.  I do tons of projects relating to Canada and retail.  I create presentations for our clients who come from anywhere around the world to learn about retail in Canada. Aside from creating packages for clients, I plan their visits too. Providing them with travel, hotel, dinner and transportation arrangements.  I create appropriate itineraries during their stay so they always know where to be and at what time, with the comfort of knowing they will have enough travel time between everything.<\/p>\n<p>At the office I also take care of the corporate events. We host two external events. The first being a Retailer Spotlight where we feature a selection of our clients and give them a platform to express their future plans. The second is a massive cocktail party during our Toronto Convention. We also have 4-5 internal events which include two annual All-Hands presentations, to get the company in a cohesive flow between all of our offices. Then the fun corporate socials. One in the summer, having an outdoor themed event with something fun and the next during the winter holiday season to celebrate a successful year. I also assist with the planning of our Toronto Convention, booking the booth, private rooms, registrations, hotel bookings for our out-of-towners and scheduling meetings\u2026 About 100-120 meetings to be exact.<\/p>\n<p>My Event &amp; Wedding Planning Certification has helped me a great deal in taking care of all the tasks mentioned previously.  Understanding clearly the behind-the-scenes details is what makes my current career rewarding and not to mention easier!<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am in the midst of designing a blog. It will be of my projects; whether it be DIY\u2019s or hints of current events I\u2019m managing.  I want to try something different by getting exposure through my blog first, in hopes my followers will become clients.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_find_most_rewarding_about_your_career\"><\/span>What do you find most rewarding about your career?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I get to learn. I get to express my creativity. I get to help others.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_the_future_hold_for_you\"><\/span>What does the future hold for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I hope that I will be able to grow further helping others through Event Planning. My love for Event Management and the creativity I possess is what pushes me to be more and more ambitious.<\/p>\n<p>The future is a funny thing though, things can change in a snap.  I\u2019m letting things happen naturally without force. My intentions will manifest naturally.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_you_looking_to_expand_your_knowledge_and_launch_an_exciting_career_in_event_and_wedding_planning_Download_QC_Event_Schools_Free_Brochure_for_more_information_on_the_programs_offered\"><\/span><i>Are you looking to expand your knowledge and launch an exciting career in event and wedding planning? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/free-brochure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download QC Event School\u2019s Free Brochure<\/a> for more information on the programs offered.<\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica Gabrysz found her calling in event planning and worked hard to complete her course, finding the time to study while on maternity leave with her little girl.
