Last year I was honored to speak at the Raylon Art of Business Seminar in Philadelphia. If you ever get a chance to attend this program it is well worth the money. At the conference, I met a really interesting gentleman by the name of Frank Elliott. Frank’s background intrigued me. He was a hair stylist but he also had a business degree. During our visit he mentioned the he was writing a book for salons. Last week he sent me a copy of his book. I was impressed. There is a superb introduction by Geno Stampora, a leader in the industry.
Even though we are really busy right now with taxes, I picked up the book and could not put it down. It is a very easy read - pointing out things that we take for granted. It is well worth the time and the tax-deductible cost.
The book is based on a philosophy of taking control of your career through self-understanding and choice. Learning and understanding what soft skills are and how to use them will help advance our careers tremendously. Frank uses the story of ‘Linda’ and how she had the skills, unknowingly lost the skill set, and then recovered.
