Blueprint: How to get your word of the year for 2026

Start strong, breathe deeper, and write the year you actually want to lead. This guided intention setting session with Tess is for salon owners and leaders who want less stress, stronger culture, and sustainable growth in 2026.

Through calm structure and practical reflection, you will move from vague goals to clear leadership behaviours that shape how your salon feels, functions, and grows.

In this episode, we guide you through:
• A short breath practice to settle your nervous system
• Defining values that anchor decisions during busy seasons
• Designing a thoughtful client and team experience from booking to follow-up
• Conscious leadership habits that support clarity, presence, and feedback
• Setting three meaningful SMART goals beyond vanity metrics
• Simple culture rituals that build trust and teamwork
• Boundaries that protect energy, focus, and work life balance
• Streamlining operations to reduce friction and overwhelm
• Choosing your word of the year and a proud outcome for 2026

Grab your journal, press play, and pause as needed. If this session helped you get clear, share it with a salon friend, subscribe for the next episode, and leave a review with your word for the year.
