We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Miyoshi Greene. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Miyoshi below.

Miyoshi, appreciate you joining us today. Can you share a story with us from back when you were an intern or apprentice? Maybe it’s a story that illustrates an important lesson you learned or maybe it’s a just a story that makes you laugh (or cry)?

Embarking on an internship has been a pivotal experience that I consider an indispensable stepping stone in my career journey. Whether paid or unpaid, internships play a crucial role in shaping one’s professional path. When I initially delved into my chosen career, my knowledge was confined to textbooks, lacking the invaluable on-site experience. The internship I undertook provided me with practical tools and insights that remain with me to this day.

I am a firm believer in the significance of internships as they offer a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and gain exposure before fully immersing oneself in a professional role with real clients. Through my internship, I not only acquired technical skills but also had the privilege of gaining a mentor, who guided and supported me throughout. This firsthand experience allowed me to navigate the challenges of the industry, understand the dynamics of real-world scenarios, and build a foundation of practical knowledge.

I emphasize the importance of transparency during the internship journey. Clearly laying out your intentions at the beginning fosters an honest conversation with your mentor. This ensures that both parties are aligned in expectations, creating a conducive environment for meaningful learning and professional development.

In essence, an internship is not just a requisite checkbox; it is a transformative experience that equips individuals with the tools, mentorship, and hands-on encounters necessary for a successful career trajectory.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Hi, I’m Miyoshi Greene, a firm believer in faith, a dedicated wife, and mother. I am also the proud owner of Lavish Impressions Events, where I’ve been crafting unforgettable experiences as a wedding and event planner. After college, I dove into this industry, and for the past 9 years, I’ve worked tirelessly, trusting in and believing in God to guide my steps.

My discipline lies in setting and achieving goals, maintaining a steadfast commitment to managing event flow, and bringing clients’ dreams to life by collaborating with the right vendors. What I’m most proud of is my resilience—I’ve never given up, learned from mistakes, and continuously forged ahead.

For potential clients, followers, and fans, I want you to know that Lavish Impressions is more than just an event planning brand. It’s a god-fearing entity that strives to make every client and their guests’ experience truly unforgettable. We aim to leave a lasting impression by being genuine, down-to-earth, and ensuring a great time while understanding the significance of every milestone and corporate event we undertake.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

I believe my reputation within the market was built on authenticity. How I treat individuals and the way I make them feel has been a cornerstone of my approach. I strive to create genuine connections and ensure that each person involved in an event, from clients to vendors, feels valued and understood. Additionally, my unwavering drive to execute events in the spirit of excellence has played a significant role. I am committed to delivering top-notch experiences, and this dedication has contributed to building a reputation for quality and reliability within the industry.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has undoubtedly been the combination of a strong social media presence and word of mouth. This approach has been consistently successful since the inception of my business. By maintaining an active and engaging presence on social media platforms, I’ve been able to showcase the work and services of my company, allowing potential clients to get a firsthand view of what we do.

However, the power of word of mouth cannot be understated. Having satisfied clients share their positive experiences has proven to be a powerful endorsement. This combination creates a dynamic synergy, as the online presence provides a visual representation of our capabilities, while word of mouth adds a personal touch and credibility. It’s a strategy that merges the best of both worlds, reinforcing the authenticity and quality of my company’s services for both existing and potential clients.
