Juliet Tripp’s career in event planning stretches back to 2010, including a stint as deputy head of global events at Chemical Watch, before she made the decision in 2022 to turn her focus to coaching event planners.
She describes the feeling — one that many planners know well — that finally led to her decision to change careers and start a coaching business for event planners, which she called Becoming: “I spent over a decade leading global events, climbing the ladder, saying yes to every opportunity, and becoming the go-to person everyone could count on. I built the personal brand. Launched the six-figure side hustle. Landed the dream job,” she said.
“And I still found myself burnt out and misaligned. A version of me that looked accomplished but no longer felt connected to the work that once lit me up.”
To help others in her place, she created a coaching guide, The Events Industry Survival Guide, packed with AI prompts for setting boundaries, building confidence, and getting organized.
Following are some her favorite prompts for planners:
