Nothing feels quite as inspirational as a good team huddle at the start of event day - and if this song is playing, even better. In other words, you’re poised to have a knockout event.

The famed “Rocky” theme song is a great reminder that you’ve got a mean one-two punch combination of preparation and passion. It’s cheesy and cliche, but every event planner knows that going into event day is like going into the boxing ring. Getting pumped for your event Survivor – “Eye Of The Tiger” If you’re having a moment of panic or doubt, this song’s mantra will remind you that you’re “ready for whatever it takes,” and get you right back in the zone. No matter what goes wrong, with a little motivation, you’ll make it through. Play this one when you need to commiserate. Whether it’s to sell a certain number of tickets or to make sure the event runs like clockwork, there’s always a goal or deadline to meet. The title says it all – event planners are always under pressure. When you have 20 unheard voicemails from sponsors and 800 unread emails from vendors, you know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby. By the time you’re done giving this a listen, you’ll have gotten out your frustrations and can come up with a clear-headed plan. Maybe bureaucratic red tape is holding up a permit, or one of your speakers is making a last-minute unreasonable request. If you’re ever having a “stick it to the man” kind of day, pop your headphones on and put this one on full blast. When you’re in event crisis mode Twisted Sister – “We’re Not Going to Take It” Stevie Wonder – “Superstition”ĭo you go through a ritual when you’re getting ready for an event? Do you freak out if someone opens an umbrella in the event venue, walks under a ladder, or steps on a crack? If that sounds like you, this is your jam, as long as you realize that your event success has nothing to do with luck. How can you not feel happy when you’re tapping your feet and clapping your hands to such a bright and cheery song? It’s a great way to tackle a long day of tedious work laying out the venue’s floor plan - all with a smile on your face. The happy and peppy flute will have you whistling when you walk into the office – even though you might be facing tons of vendor meetings and calls. Before the chaos of emails, phone calls, and vendor contracts, find your center with this calming tune. When you’re starting your day, this upbeat song has the perfect “rise and shine” vibe.
