The Key to Leadership: Meetings, Power and Difficult Conversations
We want to feel confident as the leader, and know how and when to have those hard conversations whilst also being able to have fun with your team.
But nobody tells you how to do it all, how to be the ‘fun’ boss whilst also being the boss that gets stuff done so wages can be paid and clients are happy – for a lot of Salon Owners, it’s something we just have to learn on the job…
But, it doesn’t have to be that hard.
You can do it all! You can know how to have those conversations we all avoid and have clear meetings with your team whilst also still having fun at the same time.
You just need to act like you’re driving a speed boat, where every conversation, meeting, or book you read can change the path of the boat for the better…

But what if I told you that technology, more specifically AI, can actually save us a heck of a lot of time…
As Salon Owners, we often think we’re ‘not a computer guy’ we just want to help people look and feel their best and we do that with our hands (and our scissors and brushes and all the other tools we use).

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa is joined by Scott Moon from Salon SOS to discuss 3 Ways AI CAN Help Your Salon. Scott breaks down how WE as non-tech people, can use AI… and actually make Marketing and the way we communicate with our clients a whole lot easier.
