Gretchen Stephens has more than three decades of experience in event planning as the former director of events at Ohio University and the current director of events at The Market on State.
Event planning is a stressful occupation because the event planner is responsible for unforeseeable mishaps and disasters. Stephens said that you have to have great intuition and always be several steps ahead of everything to be an event planner. You also have to be able to maintain your cool and keep a smile on your face when things go awry. Stephens strategy is to trust herself to do what she thinks is best. From her experiences, she has found that forgiveness is easier to get than permission.
