8. Learning from being a part of the organising team at Praxis

The 8th edition of Praxis was held on 27th to the 29th of September in Goa at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Praxis is the platform where all Reputation Management professionals from around the world come together to connect, learn and share. This was my first time attending Praxis and my level of excitement had touched the sky. The first night in Goa the entire organizing team got together putting together the last moment work. I and my nineteen other friends helped the organizing team in packing the welcome kit for the guests, organized and segregated the name badges of the guests attending. At the event group of five were allocated duties like front desk, social media team and content team. I was appointed at the front desk where I and nine other girls had to help guests register and provide them their badges and coupons. I was guided by Gurbani Bhatia, Ameeta Vadhera and Dhyan. They helped us throughout the continuous seventeen hours we spent at the front desk. Even though the job was a little chaotic their guidance helped us work smoothly. I had the best experience working. Praxis turned out to be a successful event with all of us working in unity. End of the first day we had a live performance by The Local Train where even though exhausted, everyone came together, enjoyed their performance, danced and sang together and enjoyed the vibe. Everyone working together created a homely environment, made us feel like we were working with our family. Praxis gave an insight into how team unity works and how everyone together can make anything happen in a short period. Team spirit is an important aspect in one’s professional space and Praxis has helped us understand that. Praxis included working hard but also was filled with laughter and making memories.
