Course Overview

The truth is, most of us were never taught how to lead.

We trained to become experts in our craft, but very few of us were shown how to lead a team with confidence.

Brave Salon Leader is designed specifically for salon, spa, beauty and clinic leaders who want to build strong leadership foundations. It all starts with self-awareness, because understanding how you lead is the first step to becoming the leader your team needs.

This practical, interactive workshop will give you the confidence, tools and strategies to lead with greater clarity and consistency.

What You’ll Take Away

• A better understanding of your own leadership style.
• Greater confidence in leading people and managing challenging situations.
• Practical communication tools you can use immediately.
• Strategies to build trust, accountability and a positive team culture.
• Clear actions to help you become a more confident and effective leader.

Included

• A reflective leadership workbook to continue your learning after the workshop.
• Practical tools and frameworks to use with your team.
• A personal action plan to help you put your learning into practice.
