Such a great lesson to learn! I feel like I’m still learning that there’s no harm, but I’m getting better at it. It’s advice that you always hear from people who are older or more experienced than you, but you don’t quite get it until you *get it.*

Good for you for taking a risk and reaching out for something that you want!That’s an amazing confidence boost and goes to show that your hard work is going toward something.

Hi Georgia, it’s nice learning more about Abbysoul Productions and all you do to contribute to it. I definitely need to do some further research and learn more about what goes on in the company you work for because I’ve always been interested in event planning but haven’t had much knowledge about the industry. If you read this comment, I would love to hear what your favorite event is. Having said that, I just wanted to give you some feedback on your blog because I thought it was inspiring/relatable.

In the past, I’ve always thought that asking questions or speaking up was a bad thing. I thought that if I said something, it would mean that I wasn’t smart enough to hear it the first time or that I’m being annoying to the person I’m speaking to. However, as I grew up, I learned that asking questions has more positive connotations as opposed to negative connotations. Asking questions makes it easier for you to remember the subject at hand and it answers any questions others may have. I see myself asking my professors and mentors questions whenever I want reassurance or am just confused and 9 times out of 10, my educators are glad I said something instead of submitting work that’s incorrect. The lesson here is that asking questions leads you to better outcomes, which is obviously prevalent in the examples you gave.

Your ability to take risks is admirable and will take you far in life once you graduate from college. I aspire to have as much confidence as you and make as many connections as you did.

Good luck with the rest of your internship and I hope you continue to find more good opportunities to work on while you’re still at Abbysoul Productions. I can’t wait to hear more about your experiences if you plan on posting here again in the future.

I think that you bring up a really good point, you never know until you ask. At my internship our community screams what they need all the time and we often encourage it because you never know who is in the room who might be willing to help you. The same went for how I got my internship… I asked if there was any chance I could help out and here I am still working and loving my job! I’ve experienced crazy events and met amazing people along the way… all. through the power of asking.

Hi Georgia, I also am serving as an Events Intern currently. I am also often tasked with outreach for our Events and can definitely relate that it can feel risky and like a long shot at times when reaching out, especially as just an intern. But I think with practice and with strategic decisions when it comes to this outreach is essential to it potentially working out in the end.

Hi Georgia,
This was really interesting to read. I am so glad that you were able to do something outside of your comfort zone. I am sure your boss was overly impressed with you. Congratulations on a job well done!
