Today we’d like to introduce you to Faith Woods
Hi Faith, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was raised in the small farming community of Leighton, Alabama. Each school day meant a thirty minute commute to and from town. Besides my love for school sports and activities, looking back, I believe my lack of immediate access to a girl next door to attend my tea party provided me more time to hone the craft of southern entertaining. I either spent my free time outdoors or learning the art of home entertaining alongside the women in my family. It seems a dinner party, shower, or porch gathering was always in the works. I was a wedding shower hostess in elementary school in a hand-smocked dress. I baked brownies for my high school calculus teacher. My love of graciousness and entertaining is simply in my blood. I have the mother who can crank out a multitude of pecan pies with a one hundred year old recipe. I have one aunt with the fresh fruit ring ready for whatever size punch bowl you’ve got. The other aunt is known far and wide for savory cheese straws fresh from the cookie press. All of these people live within a three mile vicinity. The party is literally right around the corner.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I am blessed in my career and truly enjoy my work. As with any job, hard work is required. Nothing good comes easily. Of course, taking a leap in entrepreneurship is always a risk, but I am beyond relieved I went for it earlier in my life rather than later.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
To date, I have thirteen years of experience in my field as an event planner and etiquette expert. I am known for my detailed party planning whether it be a wedding, corporate, or a small gathering. Additionally, I spend a large portion of my time teaching etiquette and hospitality skills to people of all ages. I truly appreciate poise and it is a tremendous compliment to be called upon to serve others and spread my knowledge.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
You never know who you are speaking to, their circumstances, or connections, keep this at the forefront of every interaction.
