The Key to Leadership: Meetings, Power and Difficult Conversations

By Larissa Macleman | 22 December 2023

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…

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa is joined by Penny Holden. To chat about The Key to Leadership: Meetings, Power and Difficult Conversations

By Larissa Macleman | 15 December 2023

Before we jump into 2024 and map out our goals and dreams, let’s take a moment to stop and reflect on what an incredible year 2023 has been! 

So it’s only fitting that we reflect on some of the conversations we’ve had over the last year on the Salon Owners Collective Podcast. We’ve done nearly 50 episodes, welcomed over 20 new guests onto the podcast and we’ve delved into some great topics this year.  

But amongst all of the amazing conversations and lessons we’ve learnt, 5 stand out from the rest. These are conversations that not only I loved, but you guys really engaged with too. 

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa reflects on the year with the 5 Biggest Lessons of 2023 – it may even help you plan your goals for 2024!

3 Ways AI CAN Help Your Salon

By Larissa Macleman | 08 December 2023

Technology can be scary for us to wrap our heads around – it’s always changing, there are a million updates, and it’s just not worth the stress! 

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).

But AI is one of the most powerful tools we have available to us, and for some reason, our industry is falling behind by not using it! 

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.
