Languishing, a term first coined by Sociologist Corey Keyes, is the antithesis of flourishing. It is apathy, a sense of restlessness or feeling unsettled, an overall lack of interest in life or the things that typically bring you joy and is an ever present feeling in society since the height of the pandemic.
In the events industry it strikes a chord. The industry has gone through immense turmoil with job losses, stressful work situations and constant uncertainty. As we begin to return to live events with an increased demand, event professionals are switching from one stressor to another. How do we mentally prepare ourselves? How do we begin to flourish again?
