Ten minutes with Mychelle
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the incredible support, collaboration, and dedication of the Evans team and my own team. The success of many of the events and initiatives we accomplish would not be possible without the collective effort, creativity, and commitment of those around me. Sarah and Brianna, in particular, have been instrumental contributors, providing valuable insight, encouragement, and support that allow me to bring ideas to life. I believe in the power of teamwork, and I am grateful to work alongside individuals who inspire collaboration, share their expertise, and help drive our continued success.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I have received is to always be prepared for the unexpected. In the events industry, something may not always go exactly according to plan, and the key is not to focus on what went wrong, but to remain adaptable and find solutions. Being able to pivot, think quickly, and approach challenges with a positive and flexible mindset has been essential to my success. I have learned that preparation, resilience, and the ability to adjust in the moment are critical skills for delivering successful outcomes.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
The best advice I would give to young women entering the industry is to truly love what you do. When deciding on a career path, it is important to set aside outside expectations and focus on what genuinely brings you fulfillment, because you are the person who will wake up every day and dedicate your time and energy to that work. Finding a career that aligns with your passions, values, and strengths is essential. If you discover that something does not bring you joy or purpose, have the courage to make a change and pursue something that does. A fulfilling career begins with doing work that you truly love.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field right now is balancing the demands of frequent travel with personal commitments, especially as a mother of two young boys who are active in sports and other activities. At the same time, this industry presents exciting opportunities through the continued advancement of technology. Finding and implementing the right tools to improve event organization, planning, and efficiency is essential to creating successful experiences. Embracing new technology while maintaining strong relationships and effective coordination remains a key focus as the industry continues to evolve.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that are most important to me in both my work and personal life are honesty, dedication, and balance. I believe in being transparent, dependable, and staying true to my commitments while maintaining a healthy balance between my professional and personal responsibilities. As a mother of two young boys, I strive to lead by example and show them that with hard work, perseverance, and consistency, they can achieve the goals they set for themselves. I believe success comes from showing up every day, putting in the effort, and remaining committed to the things that matter most.
