She was the winner of NAHA's first Master Hairstylist of the Year, and she received the Leo Passage award for education excellence. She was Haircolorist of the Year two years in a row, and she won the PBA International Icon of the Year. My guest this week is the extraordinary Sonya Dove.

• This is Sonya’s 40th year with Wella and 43rd year in the hairdressing industry

• Sonya Dove shares the importance of hard work, determination, and resilience when facing challenges. Learn from your mistakes. Embrace opportunities to grow personally and professionally through experiences like competitions and shows.

He is a top editorial stylist frequently to be found on set, styling for top magazines like Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Lucky, and Oprah Magazine. He’s a go-to artist at New York Fashion Week and a lead stylist in the bridal business. He’s a Redken International Artist, an entrepreneur, and the creator of Tear Sheets. He’s also a good friend, and it’s been too long since I last spoke to him. Please welcome Giovanni Giuntoli.

 Giovanni slipped into the hair business completely by accident, striking up a conversation with a salon owner while serving him ice cream at Baskin Robbins. It led to a summer job at the salon and then straight on to beauty school.

 Giovanni wanted to share his wealth of editorial and fashion experience. He saw that many talented hairstylists wanted to break into editorial work but had no idea how. He created Tear Sheets to provide them with the education they needed, including how to get hired for fashion shoots.

You’re going to love this week's guest. He is an executive coach who helps leaders at every level from small business to Fortune 500 companies to achieve their goals. He will help you shift your thinking and get you to the truth. He's written two books and I absolutely recommend them both. A hearty Headcases welcome to Jay Williams.

• find him online at jaywilliamsco.com

• Jay started out in the beauty industry working for Bumble and Bumble; first in sales, and later in their business school.

• Jay’s background is in leadership training and that’s where his passion is. He strives to make everything simple, executable, and universally applicable.

• Jay says that feedback doesn’t have to be the F-bomb. It can be neutral: neither good nor bad, but simply actionable information and data.

• For a leader or effective communicator, conflict resolution requires understanding of the intention behind the conflict.
