The Connector Next Door with Lisa Gareau
The Connector Next Door is your invitation to meet natural connectors here in Canada and all around world. Each one is an everyday event planner who works to create meaningful connections through the events they plan. Their stories are familiar, fun, and full of charm. Your host, Lisa Gareau, is a lifelong Event Planner and has been a Connection Strategy Coach for a SWEET 16 years through her company Candy Event Consulting. She knows events can become energized connecting points where communities can gather and grow and is helping planners create these connection points through The Connection Architect Program! If you are ready to #buildconnectionpoints through the events you plan, grab your headphones, a hot drink, and listen in as Lisa strikes up a conversation with today’s Connector Next Door.
The Connector Next Door with Lisa Gareau
Maya Corona & David Schmeikal, Captivating Couple, Creators, Coaches, and Natural Connectors
Maya Corona and David Schmeikal are a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, blending backgrounds in graphic design, painting, branding, and coaching to help humans create and be creative.
Maya, with over two decades in graphic design, now explores the depths of her self-expression and joy through painting and creative initiatives focused on connecting communities together.
David has worked as an entrepreneur and creative professional for 15 years and now guides others to unleash “who they truly are” into the world. He does this through improving the pragmatic performance side of process so professionals can unleash their creative potential.
To many event planners creativity can feel messy. And adding that element of creativity into our planning work can feel even more out of place. But if we want to see change in ourselves, our world, or our work, we cannot avoid the mess.
In my conversation with Maya and David, we explored how we must build up our tolerance for the creative process even as planners.
When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable inability to structure, schedule, or add the creativity to a spreadsheet, we will gain access to the peace and possibilities only accessible by going through the – as David says – “chaos of creativity’’.
Listen in and be inspired to lean into who you truly are, what matters to you in your planning, and get ready to surround yourself with those that do the same!
