Josh Hafetz on Motivation and Unleashing Employee Peak Performance

[151] If you're a salon or spa owner who finds it hard to keep staff engaged and motivated in their work, you're not alone. A recent survey Phorest has run within the hair and beauty industry found that of all the HR and training aspects of running a salon, a whopping 25% agree to say that retaining and motivating staff is their most difficult challenge. The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way.
Featuring the President of Art of Business (@art_of_business) Josh Hafetz, this week's conversation explores the science behind getting your team 'in the zone', how habit plays a role in locking in both motivation and long-term results, and what you can do to foster these habits.

Marcus Allen on Facing Challenges & Thinking Creatively About Your Salon Business

[150] Often described as "thinking outside the box", creative thinking is what drives innovation and progress. Seeing situations from a different perspective can have a substantial impact on problem-solving, communication, leadership, sales, marketing, and many other aspects of running a business. For many, though, thinking in new, unconventional ways when facing adversity doesn't come naturally.
Featuring Global VP of The Refinery Marcus Allen, this week's conversation explores the value of creative thinking in business as well as the link between leadership, self-awareness, vulnerability and salon management.

The Hair Aid Global Cut-A-Thon: Changing the World One Haircut at a Time

[149] Since its inception in 2010, Australian-based Hair Aid works globally with volunteer hairdressers to provide free haircutting training for people living in extreme poverty. The organisation has been doing this work in the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, and expanding its operations in Thailand and Vietnam last year, changing in total over 5000 lives.
Part of the organisation's fundraising activities is the annual Hair Aid Global Cut-A-Thon event (@globalcutathon), held this coming Sunday, March 29, 2020, and which encourages salons, stylists and training organisations to come together and cut hair for donations. To discuss both Hair Aid and the upcoming fundraiser, this week's episode features CEO of Hair Aid (@hairaidinc) Selina Tomasich and CEO of Salon718 salons (@salon718) Michaella Blisset Williams.
