Lavate las manos antes de tocar la comida.
Do you know what that says? How many of us have multi lingual staff or work in these situations? Wouldn’t it be nice to have better options for communication?
We all deal with language barriers in our lives – may it be professional or personal – but we all face it at some point and having the tools to handle it make for much easier situations.
I had the pleasure of facilitating Effective Communication is as Easy as Uno, Dos, Tres! Ed Rosheim of Workplace Languages took an hour and gave all of us better tools for communicating with our staff. He taught speech and pronunciation not grammar and spelling, worked on very simple commands not full sentences and most of all worried about actual words that were used in kitchens and banquets.
He started with a quick lesson on the sounds of the Spanish language, what those sounds were and gave great examples of words that use that sound. Then we moved on to common words – Hola (hello), me llamo Alaina (my name is Alaina) and mucho gusto (pleased to meet you). We then had a quick conversation round – introducing ourselves and asking our partner what their name was. It was amazing how quickly we were moving! Before I know it we were asking each other to lava los platos (wash the dishes), sigue la receta (follow the recipe) and to cocinalo poco asado (cook it rare). The best part of the class - we all received pocket reference guides for English to Spanish and written for the hotel and restaurant industry! But the most important thing I learned from this class was to lavate las manos antes de tocar la comida (wash your hands before handling the food)!

IDEA Swap in the Marketplace
Experience 2012! New Orleans, Louisiana
Dee Lane Eades, CPCE
Graceful Tables, Senior Sales Representative and Board of Directors
Have you ever had an idea for an event or for a procedure but needed to hash it out with someone in the industry to cover all your bases? Well, NACE has developed a new tool for its members called the IDEA Swap.
IDEA Swaps are available via conference call during the year but this year at EXPERIENCE! in New Orleans, IDEA Swaps were scheduled to participate in during the Marketplace. Great ideas and even better practices were bounced around and sparked new ways of thinking and doing for our industry.
The first session I attended was for Event Planners. What an eye opener for all involved! We discussed the TEAM practices and aired a few differences of opinion but got a good, solid working model for vendors and planners alike out of letting each discipline tell how schedules do and don’t work. The main end result was once again, great communication! Being involved in the preparation of the production schedule and voicing issues instead of just agreeing with the final version of the schedule and doing what you wanted anyway is never the solution to a well run and executed event. All the elements of the event –production/execution/dismantle – take a team effort and working within the parameters and boundaries set and documented is the key to a successful event. A point from an Event Planner’s perspective is the bad habit of some vendors to go around the planner and discuss directly with the venue or other team members for preferential treatment on load ins, etc. The planner is the master of the schedule and is the keeper of all knowledge and by circumventing the main planner, issues can and will arise. Check your ego at the door and be a team player. A point from a Vendor’s perspective is the bad habit of some planners to not publish a schedule in a timely fashion nor ask the vendors if the schedule works for their execution of the element for the event. Again, communication is imperative. A take away point for planners and vendors alike was to make sure all contracts have itemized entries to cover each team members’ needs. Example, if additional labor is needed to execute the event due to scheduling conflicts on the published and agreed upon schedule, additional expenses will be charged upon review and verification of scheduling issues. This is a simple, but necessary, contract addendum to cover your company with the agreed upon and contracted scope of services.
The second IDEA Swap I sat in on was for Event Professionals and the topic of discussion was mainly on the utilization of Social Media and time. Today’s social client is in the demographic of 18 – 34 years of age and they rely heavily on social media communication. We are all well aware of this but for a company to stay on top of the many outlets for social media, a large chunk of a day can be spent on updating and staying fresh on social media. Several points were lined out for us and the ones that made the most sense to me were:
- 1. To implement in my daily tasks a scheduled time of the day or week to interact on social media outlets so as to not get sucked into the void of constantly checking in. The same can be said for checking emails. Plan your day and don’t let distractions plan you.
- 2. To hire a social media manager to handle the large volume of information coming into your company and how you want to send the information back out. This can be a current person on staff, a newly developed position, an intern or, a company who handles nothing but other company’s social media needs. Obviously your budget will dictate what course you take to cover the social media area for your company.
- 3. The last point that made an impact on me was the idea of how much are you doing the administrative tasks instead of the actual sales that derive income for you? Analyze whether you are doing say book keeping and wasting the time you could be spending on sales. It only makes sense to sometimes spend a little money on the time sucking things in order to be able to use your time wisely on the practices that will make you the most money. Stop paying yourself the $10.00 an hour to do some of the administrative jobs and hire that out so you can focus on bringing in the big bucks. Again, a simple practice but one that needed re-visiting for our group.
In review, the Experience! in New Orleans was a great re-training on some skills, a great opportunity for new practices to be investigated and, a great affirmation of current business practices implemented that are to still strong and to be used today. See you next year in Chicago at Experience 2013!

Experience! 2012 in New Orleans did not disappoint! The New Orleans Marriott hosted this well-attended event and many educational sessions were offered to attendees.
The Opening General Session was presented by Simon T. Bailey and entitled Vuja-De-
He encouraged us to create the destiny we want and how to uncover the brilliance in others. His books are among the top 100 books being read by corporate America executives.
The Culinary Experience was moderated by John Besh- James Beard award winning New Orleans based chef who shared his insight into culinary trends and his experiences as a chef, restauranteur, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He enlightened us into all his many hours of good deeds especially to those impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
Wedding Brunch: An American Wedding Coast to Coast was hosted by Linwood Campbell- CPCE, Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza
Featured Designers were:
Danielle Couick- CPCE- Magnolia BlueBird Design and Events, Washington, DC
P.J. Acosta, Studio AG- Santa Barbara, CA
Nice Cervantes, NLC Productions- Chicago
Beverly Reese Church, Entertaining Celebrations, New Orleans
Each presented their “take” on trends in their markets and how they listen to clients to produce the perfect event every time and how they use creativity to set them apart from “do it yourselfers” and other planners.
Of all the sessions I attended, the one that stood out the most was
“Got $1 Million Dollar Questions? We’ve got Answers!
Jerry Edwards, CPCE, Owner and Corporate Chef at Chef’s Expressions was the presenter.
Jerry is a former NACE National President and continues his strong involvement on a national level and local level with the Baltimore chapter. He is also a consultant specializing in catering operations.
Although the title did not necessarily align with the content of the meeting, his message related to the health of our business …..not just making the food look good, taste good and tending to all the details, but taking the time to take periodic breaks to analyze our business and evaluate and see if our goals are being met. He stressed the importance of involving the whole team in the decisions that impact the entire operation. Empowering all involved helps ensure future leadership and the sense of importance.
He referenced one client he is working with who has a tendancy to try to be everything to everybody and has alienated his team in the process. He encouraged us to stick with what we do best and avoid trying to “do it all”. He also said it’s essential to evaluate team members on a regular basis to make sure everyone is “sitting in the right seat on the bus”. His advice is to “hire slowly and fire quickly.” Although he said much thought needs to go into making sure of the right team members, he admitted that sometimes decisions just are not the right ones and that for the sake of the team, some people just may not mix with the overall team goals.
Jerry attended one of the Greater Atlanta Chapter meetings three years ago.

I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to the internet and technical type things but one session I attended this year in New Orleans made me realize that unless you are cutting edge on top of things, you are going to get left behind with technology.
Sonny Ganguly with WeddingWire.com gave a talk called “Get Social and Go Mobile” about the future of marketing.
To put how fast technology is advancing in perspective, Sonny gave this example. It took the radio 38 years after it was introduced before 50 million people had one. It took 13 years before 50 million people had a TV set. It was merely 4 years before 50 million people had access to the internet and 3 years before 50 million people had iPods.
In 1996 the average amount of time someone spent online was 30 minutes a month. In 2011 the average is 1,620 minutes a month.
This means that the way you market needs to focus on areas that haven’t been around all that long because that’s where the trends are headed. Local internet searches, social media, and people searching on their phones. Consumers searching the internet for local goods and services grew from 1 billion searches in 2009 to 3.45 billion searches in 2012. So local advertising on the internet is certainly a growing area. Also by 2014 more people will be accessing the internet by mobile device than desktops and laptops combined and less than 1% of websites are optimized for mobile devices. This great example of technology moving so fast we can’t keep up. I personally don’t have a mobile website!
It is becoming increasingly important to have social media for your business. Google gives weight in the searches for sites that are popular with Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and other social sites. The way you tell Google about these sites is to link to the site from your webpage and list your website address on your social media pages. But you can’t just have the site, you have to update it regularly.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, things are constantly changing and to be competitive you have to at least try and keep current with your internet availability and presence. Gone are the days when a bride thumbs through a magazine, sees your ad and picks up the phone.
So it’s time to get high tech!

I had the pleasure of attending the NACE Annual Educational Conference in New Orleans this year. I haven’t been to one in about 7 years. Prior to that I have attended many over the course of my career. I was very excited and delighted about this year’s conference. The Events as well as the Educational Sessions were as good as or better than any I can remember.
Simon Bailey’s Opening Session was both motivating and inspirational. It made you really feel good about yourself and want to create your own destiny.
The Culinary Experience presented by New Orleans based and James Beard Award Winning Chef John Besh was very enjoyable and enlightening
We had a Wedding Brunch Session for the entire group that was moderated by Linwood Campbell and featured 4 different Event Designers from different parts of the country. They spoke about the latest trends in Wedding Décor and Style.
I also attended some great Break Out sessions. One that stood out was Sales and Marketing, “Cracking the Bride Code by Unveiling Buyer Behaviors” This session focused on using behavior science to sell to your Brides. Mark Shaffer, National Publisher, President, Beautiful Bride Magazine taught us the four behavioral selling skills and how to use them to speed up the selling cycle and close more sales. We learned about the Bridal Behavioral Matrix and the four personality types. How to determine where in the matrix your Bride fits, so you know what approach to take to sell to her. This unique approach was very interesting and made a lot of sense. The basic matrix put the bride’s personality in one of four quadrants. This makes it easy to know what her hot buttons are in the selling process. Look at the Matrix below and see what personality type you are.
