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.

Is your salon feeling a little… stale? Maybe clients are in and out, your team seems flat, or your marketing hasn’t been updated in years. If that hits home, it’s time for a Glow Back.

In this episode, I’m kicking off Season 2 of From Chair to CEO by sharing what the Glow Back really means — and how reinvention can reignite your salon’s energy, keep clients excited, and give your team a fresh sense of purpose.

Whether it’s updating your client experience, shaking up your marketing, or re-energizing your team culture, small shifts can lead to big momentum. This isn’t about tearing everything down. It’s about honoring what works while finding fresh ways to shine.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why reinvention is essential for long-term success in your salon.
• How to recognize when your business is due for a Glow Back.
• 3 simple ways to reinvent: client experience, team energy, and marketing.
• Real-life examples from Shine & Glow’s journey (including our 10-year “Glow Back” countdown).
