FROM THE EDITOR
It’s hard to believe we’ve hit April already, almost as hard as it is for me
to accept that I’d write something so cliché as my opening line in an
editor’s letter. No sooner had we dusted off after the last issue, we had
an overwhelming number of events, partnerships, digital executions,
videos, awards and also an incredibly successful industry Round
Table to keep us engaged through the earlier months of the year. Round
Table facilitated a sharing environment and brought together some
industry leaders that really take matters into their own hands to make a
difference and share with our beautiful industry.
For this particular Round Table we partnered with Hair Expo to share
some grand success stories and motivational anecdotes of why events
bring such an important community spirit to our industry.
I’ve noticed some pretty remarkable differences this year with the
onslaught of ‘unbranded’ and individual education seminars set up by
those who want to share knowledge and in some cases for ‘free’. Nothing
is free these days considering we are charged for an hour of street parking the equivalent amount that
our grandmothers would have spent on a night out – it’s hard to keep perspective when in so many
ways the ticket price of expanding our experiences makes it all too easy to lose perspective and sight of
why we started all this in the first place. Ticket price or not, there is something out there for everyone
wanting that extra boost – we really are so fortunate. At the business level, the costs of running a
business are out of control and in many cases we have to adapt, become more agile and frugal but still
allow ourselves to learn and be creative so we can actually get up each day with a purpose beyond the
ebb and flow of the bank account.
We’ve seen ‘For the Love’ kick off with superstars Renya and Monique McMahon showing some real
talent around the culture of sharing and allowing every guest to ‘bring a problem’. We’ve had hairdressing
hero Jaye Edwards launch ‘Uncensored’, a free seminar to uncover some home truths within his business
and education and open the floodgates to just how the Edwards and Co empire has grown. With fancy
catering and seats filled in Sydney and Melbourne, it’s little wonder the energy of caring is increasingly
palpable in our industry. Not to mention all the continual educators out there who constantly put forward
a schedule of epic proportions, often to the detriment of their own personal lives.
This year INSTYLE has also launched a business seminar titled ‘Real Talk’ – a Monday in August (the
5th to be exact) where we promise to give you all the skills and networking opportunities you need to
stay on target in 2019. It’s a business seminar without the overbearing keynote and motivational guru,
but one with facts, strategies and leaders that we’d like to call mind readers - considering how relevant
some of the content being prepared actually is going to be. Head over to www.realtalkbusiness.com.au
for more.
At the time of print I also saw another network of wonder women (and men) pop up on my screen
with the Hair 3Rs seminar, which is free at Hair Expo. This seminar is so incredibly important, as it
helps hairdressers assist clients experiencing domestic violence.
We’ve also just partnered with the AHC and Hair Expo to give away 100 free passes to school students to
both Hair Expo and GenNext to show them what our incredible industry is all about. No matter how good
we are or what we achieve if we don’t share this with someone, the satisfaction is only ever short lived.
All this heartfelt spirit brings me to a movie I watched when I went to New York about 10 years ago. I
met a guy there who made me sit and watch a movie with him called Into the Wild. It was very moving
for me and made me want to throw away the suit jacket (that I was wearing at the time) and go and
do something that filled myself with joy rather than fuel the ego. However, truth be hold I do love the
energy of what I do as much as I’m torn 50 per cent of the time to just be wanting to sit somewhere
and write something meaningful after an afternoon at yoga and continuing to be battered by 100
unnecessary emails.
My point is that in the movie Alexander went on an adventure and right before he ate a poisonous
berry and died (we all have a few poisonous berries in our life we must avoid at all costs) he wrote down
on a piece of paper, ‘’Happiness is only real when shared”.
Too right it is.
