Helping Business leaders own their growth with a holistic culture management solution focused on achieving Key Results| Helping Sales Professionals navigate and win complex sales opportunities
Last month I had the pleasure of speaking with Anne Laughlin for the Beyond Beauty Podcast by Dillie on Spotify. Highlights from our conversation include:
➡️How the industry has changed (for the better!) in 25 years:
💡A dramatically more diversified brand landscape.
💡Beauty standards have become inclusive and redefined.
💡Trends are consumer driven, not corporation driven.
💡And the big one - technology, which has enabled consumers to have a voice and democratized brand creation.
➡️Career and life advice:
💡Understand the career path is full of twists and turns. Be open to exploring new things which could lead you to the career of your dreams.
💡Stay curious. Push yourself to learn new things. Be a perpetual student.
💡Don’t take a one size fits all approach when working with others. Approach each person differently based on what you know about them to get the support you need.
💡Be optimistic and find joy in every day. Look for the silver lining - it’s always there.
💡Happiness is a choice - it is not having what you want, it is wanting what you have.
💡Always be authentic and stay true to who you are.
➡️What I love most about what I do:
💡Digging into the numbers and “reading the tea leaves” to pull together compelling insights.
💡Helping business identify opportunities for growth.
💡Creating visually compelling content that tells the story.
💡Distilling complexity into simplicity.
➡️How to navigate the beauty industry successfully:
💡Always be authentic. Consumers today can see through the money grab.
💡Identify the research that hones in on the opportunities based on your business.
💡Context is critical. Understand your business and how your results compare with the market.
💡Beware the “paradox of choice”. With so many brands and products flooding the market, ensure you stand out.
➡️What makes the beauty industry so special?
💡Beauty is a standout. It is the only industry across 20 general merchandise and CPG industries that is growing in units.
💡Beauty brings joy. It’s a universal aspiration and tied to mental wellness, which is here to stay.
💡Beauty is a treat. In times of uncertainty consumers will look to treat themselves to feel better.
💡Beauty is resilient. During difficult economic times consumers will make a choices that reflect what is important to them.
Thank you again to Anne and her team for the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with others.
