Whether she’s planning a dinner party, making a quilt or mapping out legal initiatives, Catherine Jopling says there’s a predictable path that unfolds as she strives to make each project successful.
She says there will always be a planning phase to coordinate multiple elements, including the overall impact and effect each project has on its audience. She can also count on the fact that something unplanned will happen; and finally, she says last-minute adjustments always need to be made.
“The best thing is,” Jopling, MPW’s newest general counselor says, “that something completely new can come out of the process and improve the final product.”
