We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Precious Kieshon Davis. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Precious Kieshon below.
Precious Kieshon, so good to have you with us today. We’ve got so much planned, so let’s jump right into it. We live in such a diverse world, and in many ways the world is getting better and more understanding but it’s far from perfect. There are so many times where folks find themselves in rooms or situations where they are the only ones that look like them – that might mean being the only woman of color in the room or the only person who grew up in a certain environment etc. Can you talk to us about how you’ve managed to thrive even in situations where you were the only one in the room?
Finding yourself in unfamiliar environments leaves a lot of room for self-doubt. Being the only one there with certain attributes can make it feel 10 times worse. Being in my early 20s, a woman, Black, and a mother among other things, I typically find that I’m the odd person out during conferences and industry events. Growing up I always heard adults saying “fake it until you make it” as a child I just thought it meant to keep trying even if you don’t know what you’re doing. As an adult I have a new appreciation for this aphorism. It means more than merely pretending to be good at something, when I fake it until I make it, I am making an intentional decision to carry myself with dignity, confidence, & competence….even if I don’t have it all figured out. The continuous practice eventually becomes second nature and before I know it I’m walking in my purpose.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Divine Dream Designs is a full service event & wedding planning company that specializes in event styling for intimate affairs under 75 guests. I have a commitment to see each event through from start to finish, while keeping the client’s vision and needs in mind at all times. I most enjoy seeing the faces of my client’s and their guests during the event reveal. I feel such excitement and responsibility toward every event, so my clients can rest assured that they will get 100 percent of me no matter how small their event is. Services offered include Full & Partial Wedding & Event Planning, Day of/Month of Coordination, Event Styling & Design Services, Luxury Picnics, & Romance Rooms. After three wonderful years offering these services, supporters can now expect a huge rebranding in the nearby feature…..As a sneak peek, I’ll even share one of the biggest changes with readers. The Precious Kieshon Event Design Company will make its debut in Fall 2024 with updated procedures, new inventory, and even better styling services!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Resilience, the power to pivot, and having the hunger to succeed are all super important to my journey as an entrepreneur. Not giving up is arguably the hardest part of entrepreneurship. Being able to lock in and hone into my artistry without giving up has allowed me to make so much progress over the years. Pivoting is also important because sometimes ideas don’t work out so it’s vital to use my discernment to see if that project is something that I need to step away from. A tip is to always have multiple plans.
We’ve all got limited resources, time, energy, focus etc – so if you had to choose between going all in on your strengths or working on areas where you aren’t as strong, what would you choose?
Quality over Quantity ALWAYS. While developing new skills are super important, I believe it’s always best to be a master in one area than being ‘good’ in a bunch of areas. Once you become a master of that skill THEN it’s a great idea to move to the next area. For example, luxury picnics are one of this year’s best selling services but for the first two years no one booked it. During that phase I thought maybe I should take away the service since it wasn’t being booked. Something told me not to give up and as I continued to work on improving the design and install process, I found that there were so many things that needed improvement. Now that I’ve mastered the service, I’m seeing an influx of clients wanting a signature luxury picnic by me!
