Climbing the mountain of change
and Leading Your Journey to Success
Change is a shared experience, a journey we all embark on. We encourage our clients to embrace it daily, whether stepping into a bold new look, committing to self-care, or finding the courage to try something outside their comfort zone. But the journey can feel much more daunting when it comes to ourselves.
As salon leaders, navigating change often feels like climbing a mountain. It challenges us to confront our fears, leave behind what's familiar, and trust that the effort will lead to something better. It’s rarely easy, but every step forward brings us closer to growth, success, and transformation.
"Change starts with the first step — one that empowers you
and puts you in control of your journey."
At this year’s Salon Forum, I shared tools to help salon leaders navigate this journey. The frameworks I introduced — VALUES and SUPPORT — are designed to guide you in aligning your vision, building resilience, and taking purposeful steps toward your goals.These aren’t just work strategies; they’re approaches to growth that ripple out to every part of your life. Whether or not you attended the Forum, these tools are here to help you embrace change and move forward with confidence.
Change starts with the first step — one that empowers you and puts you in control of your journey. Climbing a mountain may seem overwhelming at first, but the secret is taking it one step at a time and focusing on what’s in front of you. With each milestone you reach, you build the confidence and momentum to keep moving forward.
