Tuscan Event planners ……I create my email made with a gmail and here I am ready with my brand new fabulous CV ready for the events world and a new adventure……. In Fact it was true but it’s funny how faith, destiny, your guardian angel, whomever you believe helps you and look over you put his hand in. How? Listen to this: I sent y CV to over 50 regional email addresses …….I carefully selected them and checked them….One ,and I mean 1, by mistake went to an american company operating in destination weddings in Tuscany ….Well guess what! This one “mistake” was the ONLY ONE who ever replied to me giving me an opportunity to be their destination planner in Tuscany, as on site planner and coordinator. That’s how I started out ,following for this US based company their USA and UK couples who chose Tuscany as a destination for their celebrations. This is how my adventure started.
One of the most beautiful things I remember of my initiating times is the time with my husband Max, the empathy, the excitement when working together on our first ever website during the nights when he was home and off the job (he was CEO is a sustainable company) and Giada was asleep (luckily).
From these times …lots of time went by and i had quite a lot of training in Italy and mostly abroad . I saw the world of wedding planning & events change, evolve and increase. My education continues in these years , the travelling to know, meet, network has brought me to today, in 2020. Today, with over 500 events created, one published industry book by Giunti Editore with over 18k copies sold , 2 ebooks in the launch and various amazing international acknowledgements and awards. I must say that I am very happy of my personal and professional life, which I have always shared with my husband Max. In life I have 3 fundamentals:
Walk everywhere I go with my head up high
Sleep on 2 pillows
Be happy & enjoy life each day.
This is today. What the future has for us, we cannot know, but I can tell you which direction I am looking towards. As all or most women I am multitasking, therefore what may seem as multiple businesses, they are for me very connected and this is what makes is stimulating and interesting and fun to pursue, plus I know I am quite good at doing my job and I’m able to make a difference, as each of the segments is a part of what I d since 20 years now. It’s true,when you say you’re good may seem a bit spoiled or haughty, but my job is my sport, my passion which I grow each day. Now it’s 17 yrs, over 6200 days ,over 148.000 hours that I breathe, live and enjoy this passion and work. Yup, I never stop because for me it’s a passion. Exactly, I never stop, and here is what is part of my daily routine and my target I wish arriving. I am simply this, maybe will know me , or maybe not , but never judge from the outside without knowledge Ignorance, meant as “No Knowledge” is no more admitted in my opinion. If, on the other hand you just like chatting…… Than it’s marketing for me. I treasure my private life, that is why you will not find it on social media. I can say that in time , whom is near me personally and professionally must have special talents, as for some reason there is always a real natural selection:
Ethics
Honesty
Professionalism
Creativity & Vision
