Today, we’d like to introduce you to Lisa Jackson. Lisa was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented REISCHEL COBB.
Lisa, can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I have been a nurse since 1986. Unfortunately, to my dismay the company I had been working for many years went out of business laying all employees off. At the time of the layoff I was doing event planning/decorating part-time. In the immediate aftermath of loosing my job I had to take time to decompress, and not make any big decisions. I had to take time to process what had happened. Then the pandemic occurred which made my job search next to impossible to get hired anywhere. After getting a handle on things, and doing a financial assessment of where I stood, I had to focus on keeping my anxiety and stress in check. I began to think about what my future may hold. The remedy was to surround myself with positive-minded people who encouraged me, and helped me move forward. They reminded me of my past accomplishments and achievements, and gave me good ideas and advise about what to do next. I then decided to launch my event planning business to a full-time status. I have been going strong moving forward taking my business to the next level by expanding my business to Los Angeles, California and Dallas, Texas and traveling to various other states as well doing events. I have kept my nursing license in an active status in the event I need to go back to the healthcare workforce. I am currently in my 4th year of doing events full-time.
