Get to know your host: Amy!

How can you use your background knowledge as an event host? 

For many, the idea of attending events can be quite daunting. The prospect of meeting new people and stepping into unfamiliar social situations often triggers feelings of anxiety. It’s completely understandable – most of us have been there at some point!

As someone with a background in psychology, I’ve come to appreciate the nuances of social interactions and the emotions that come with them. This knowledge equips me to not only recognize when someone is feeling anxious but also to provide support in those moments.

When I notice an attendee who seems a bit overwhelmed, I’m able to step in and help calm their nerves. Whether it’s through a friendly conversation, a reassuring smile, or simply offering a few mindfulness techniques, my goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.

Events should be (and are) enjoyable, and by using my understanding of psychology, I strive to ensure that every guest can focus on connecting with others and having a great time. Remember, you’re not alone in feeling anxious about social situations – together, we can transform that apprehension into confidence!
