Kindness Under Pressure
Q: What is the question you would like to ask me in the hot seat?
Venetia asks Lori what question she'd like to ask, leading to a discussion about personal preferences and how love languages translate into workplace dynamics.
The Dream Team Behind The Wedding Day
Q: Why is vetting vendors so central to your approach, and what changed your mind about it over time?
She explains that vetting safeguards clients and reputation, and that building a vetted roster is essential rather than relying on personal favorites; she also discusses a shift from skepticism to advocacy for approved vendors after experiences early in her career.
The Complexities of South Asian Weddings
Q: What does confidence in handling South Asian weddings come from, and how can planners build it?
Confidence comes from long-term preparation, continuous learning, and a respectful, proactive approach to education about religious rituals and traditions. Even when mistakes happen, the effort to learn and pronounce terms correctly helps couples feel seen and respected; the certification program will provide tools, terminology, and access to specialists to strengthen planners' abilities.
Who's Got The Plan For The Planner
Q: Is there a book series that you should start reading if you are a reader?
Yes, the guest recommends The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, which reframed her view of herself and her mindset, significantly reducing stress.
