Why
Why do I do what I do?
Because of that opening statement “I love people and their stories”, yes. It took me a while to figure out “What I wanted to do with my life”………. So when I did, I wanted to do it all and do it well. Weddings, Funerals, Training, telling the world about my industry through a podcast. I am passionate about not just good service but exceptional service.
I aim to spread the word, about your love.
Your loved one’s life.
Your journey.
My part in that is to act as a medium – spread the news that ceremony can be fun, personalised, important, sacred and special.
I love it when I get feedback from couples or families and they say things like “It’s like you knew him” (regarding a funeral); or “you were such a warm presence on the day” “you really got us”!!! This is WHY I do what I do, because to feel like “yes I got it, I got you, I got your loved one”, these are the moments when I feel I have really made a difference in someone’s life. Believe me, this is never lost on me, this privileged position I am in and it drives me to do better, to do more and deliver more.
The storytelling element is something I get a lot out of, I love being able to find out things about a couple’s journey or a loved one of a family who achieved so much. To really hear the story be told, then wrap it up in all the other elements of ceremony and present it back to your congregation of guests or mourners. Then, have them say “wow”!! “I loved hearing that story about them”, or “I never thought of it like that”. Or just “you nailed it, well done”!!!
We all want to be heard, so I’m all ears, whatever your WHY is. . . . .tell me 😊
