Time flies when you are busy

This week just flew by, its all like a blur, I know I was busy all week but I can't pin point all the details. I did have the honor of meeting several of our clients in person this week. I have corresponded via phone and email with all of them but not officially met all of them.

This week I attended a Document Party for a destination wedding. It is really interesting to see all the time and effort that goes into getting a group of thirty on same flights and same hotels. There is so much information that is relevant for our clients to know about a wedding in Cancun, information about the food water, money and anything else they may need to know going down south. It was very educational.

I also attended my first 3 week meeting with a couple. Alisha has three meetings each a week apart prior to the wedding to make sure that everything is in order. It was a great experience interacting with a client so close to their wedding and to see how many details still need to be taken care of prior to the day of. Little things like confirming with all vendors and 30 things to pack just in case as well as organizing a hotel room and making sure all the details are ironed out with the venue and DJ, not to mention the food decisions. It can take up to a year to plan a proper wedding and still at the 3 week mark there is so much to do and remember.

Now to cover one of the general prompts suggested:

Have you experienced conflict with a co-worker or employee? Have you witnessed conflict? How did you handle this and what would you do different next time? What did you learn about employee relations from this experience?

So far I have been lucky to not be involved in an employee conflict, I accredit my boss to this, her communications skills are excellent not to mention she is very easy going and one has to cause a real screw up to cause real conflict. I have learned in past experience in order to avoid conflict is open communication and Alisha creates a very easy atmosphere so that I can talk to her about anything so that the work environment is conflict free. The toughest employee relation adaption that I have made or had a tough time with is the random hours, and how at the drop of the hat there would be a client appointment or a task that needs to be accomplished, some early mornings and some late nights, I am a very scheduled person and giving in to such random hours outside my regularly scheduled hours is a very interesting transition.
