Jen Baudier on Moving Past Dread and Entering Your Growth Zone

[259] Myths and self-limiting beliefs, i.e. "beliefs, world views or states of mind that limit you in some way that can be about you, other people or how the world operates", can hinder our progress and have us react in different ways: avoidance, dread, fight, flight or freeze responses, negative self-talk, etc.
In a dynamic conversation, creator/co-owner of Bella Style Salon and PIP University professor Jen Baudier highlights the importance of forward motion and doing things scared and shares her take on some of the most common myths in entrepreneurship.

Erin Raber on Pin-Up Curls’ Transformative Journey From Slow to Flywheel Growth

[257] Loyal clients are the people that bring in referrals, typically spend the most with you, help create an atmosphere in your salon, and build genuine connections with you and your team. But no matter how good your client retention strategies and numbers are, there are always people who will leave, voluntarily or not. That's why ensuring you attract a steady stream of new clients (however small) is important.
Featuring salon owner & educator Erin Raber (@theculturecurl) — and in a format ever so slightly different than usual — this episode will help you see how small but deliberate actions applied to a salon's marketing and retention strategies can reduce friction and yield better growth.

Stefania Rossi on the Costly Implications of Bad Hiring Decisions (And the Red Flags to Keep In Mind)

[251] In April 2022, a report commissioned by the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) from Pragmatix Advisory confirmed a skills crisis in the hair & beauty sector — sharing that "57% of hair & beauty businesses in the UK have unfilled vacancies." While the report identifies threats to the sector's future in the UK specifically, we're hearing salon owners globally also talking about the challenges they're running into when finding, hiring and retaining skilled staff.
In this week's conversation, multi-award-winning salon owner and entrepreneur Stefania Rossi (@stefaniarossirecruitment) shares her views and observations on the skills shortage, discusses the substantial financial implications bad hiring decisions can have on salon and spa businesses and shares red flags to look out for when speaking to potential candidates.

Noam Auger on Celebrating Self-Acceptance & Working Beyond the Gender Binary

[250] The exploratory path to self-acceptance can be challenging in a world that often pushes so many expectations and judgements. We are told and encouraged to be ourselves from a young age, but that often comes with a silent reservation: "Be yourself, but don't make others uncomfortable."
Workplaces aren't immune to society's deep conditioning and binary view of gender, and to quote gender deconstruction worker Dr Lisa Cravens-Brown, "socially constructed gender norms are — always limiting, often harmful." A better understanding of the multitudes of gender is essential for us to live in a more inclusive society. On a workplace scale, it is essential to start implementing gender-inclusive policies and practices to attract and retain employees and clients who fall outside the gender binary.
In this episode, you'll hear stories, experiences and advice from Noam Auger, entrepreneur and hair artist whose first hair studio —CallmeNoam— came to life in the spirit of celebrating self-acceptance and offering a safer environment to create and connect with his community.
