Lisa Gareau has been planning and promoting events all her life, has been serving in-house and do-it-yourself event planners through her business Candy Event Consulting since 2008, and has been guiding planners and their teams as a Connection Strategy Coach for over a decade. Lisa believes any event can become a "connection point" where clients, customers, core teams, or community members can gather and grow.

In her first story-filled book Lisa shares familiar situations and fun stories from her own life that will help readers understand that purposeful planning requires us to start Event Planning from the Inside Out. She believes that meaningful event planning starts when we're ready to connect to who we truly are, to embrace the experiences that make us unique, and to let each life lesson help us plan with more purpose and passion.

Always one to find meaningful connections between her life and work, life-long event planner and Connection Strategy Coach Lisa Gareau has embraced her life experiences as a source of inspiration for her work. She now encourages everyday event planners to embrace their experiences so they can enhance their planning. Her heart-centered book will encourage anyone to start "Event Planning from the Inside Out".

This special compilation now sits as the heart-centered companion to Lisa's long-running workshop series, "Candy's Five Keys to Event Planning". Through each section in the book Lisa unpacks an essential key to event planning and wraps each one in a significant story from her life!
