EDUC ATORS<br />
ONE OF THE BIGGEST<br />
CHALLENGES IS<br />
COMMUNICATING<br />
THE VALUE OF<br />
EDUCATION VS THE<br />
PRICE. EDUCATION<br />
SHOULD BE VIEWED AS<br />
AN INVESTMENT, NOT<br />
JUST TO THE BUSINESS,<br />
BUT TO THE STUDENT<br />
THEMSELVES.<br />
– Anh Ho<br />
WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION ANH HO’S GOAL IS TO<br />
POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENTS AND TEACH THEM THE<br />
SKILLS TO CREATE A REWARDING CAREER.<br />
What does it mean to you to be an educator?<br />
“Being an educator comes with great responsibility. My goal<br />
is to improve the industry one student at a time by harnessing<br />
their passion and teaching them the skills to grow. It is my job to<br />
positively impact my students to improve their knowledge, skills<br />
and confidence while encouraging their passion. Every student<br />
is different and to tailor a class and see that lightbulb go off is<br />
absolutely one of my greatest joys.”<br />
What is the biggest challenge when it comes<br />
to education?<br />
“One of the biggest challenges is communicating the value<br />
of education vs the price. Education should be viewed as<br />
an investment, not just to the business, but to the student<br />
themselves. Once you’ve been trained you can apply these skills<br />
anywhere! No one can take it back; you can build from it…<br />
it’s priceless. At Le <strong>Beauty</strong> we put great value on the education<br />
we offer, and as such we are one of the very few places which<br />
offer 1-on-1 training. We do this because we want to put all<br />
our focus and attention on each student, to make sure they<br />
leave feeling confident and ready to take on the services in their<br />
own environment. Students can get lost in a class and it doesn’t<br />
address the fact that people learn differently and doesn’t allow<br />
the educator to tailor the class as well.<br />
Upskilling can also be overlooked. Like a car needing regular<br />
servicing or upgrading a computer to run better, we too need to<br />
upskill. The beauty industry is forever evolving therefore staying<br />
relevant in this industry means continuously looking to upskill,<br />
whether it’s in a different service, or upskilling in a service you<br />
already know to increase your efficiency.”<br />
How do you identify and nurture special talent?<br />
“Special talent, I believe is identified by the following qualities -<br />
Attitude; to the challenges that everyone faces when doing<br />
something new or difficult<br />
Determination; to apply new knowledge with gusto and<br />
maintaining that momentum<br />
Resourcefulness; with creativity, or ingenuity is always refreshing<br />
I believe there is special talent in everyone. It may be that no<br />
one has identified it in the past and this is what they need to<br />
