If your team isn’t growing — no matter how many meetings, goals, or pep talks you have — this episode is for you.

In Episode 2, I shares the truth most salon owners overlook: your team’s growth problem probably isn’t a people problem… it’s a systems problem.

Through my own story of learning how to adapt coaching strategies to fit her salon’s culture, I reveals what actually creates consistent team growth: structure, realistic goals, and clear communication. You’ll learn how to create systems that support your team’s success instead of stifling it — and how to lead with both data and connection.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to identify if your salon’s systems don’t match your team’s current season.
• Why coaching without connection leads to burnout and disengagement.
• The 3 hidden reasons your team isn’t growing (and how to fix each).
• How to build systems that fit your people, not force them into boxes.
• The simple leadership mindset shift that will change how your team performs.

🧩 Key Takeaways

“Your team can’t grow toward what they can’t see. Leadership isn’t about raising the bar higher — it’s about making sure your people can reach it.”“Data tells the story, but connection changes behavior.”“Growth doesn’t happen because you push harder — it happens because everyone finally understands the path.”
