Something so cool just happened. I recently coached a team to build the confidence required to nail their first Sephora & ULTA presentations. The team members were junior. They had minimal retailer presentation experience so fear was high and confidence was low. I get what that’s like walking into the boardroom with all eyes on you. I did my first pitch to Sephora when I was 24. I remember the nerves the night before. I remember the what if’s flooding me. But instead of indulging in the fear, I shifted into excitement & possibility. I helped this team do the same. When we started working together, the team was thinking ⤵️ ❓What if we mess up? ❓What if we forget what we are supposed to say? ❓What if they think we are idiots? ❓What if the tech doesn’t work? ❓What if the product samples don’t arrive in time? After our time together, they shifted into thinking ⤵️ ⚡️No matter what happens - We’ve got this⚡️ Fear, doubt & insecurity are feelings that subconsciously eat away at the confidence required to stand in front of a room to present with authority. What I help women do is shift out subconscious confidence killing behavior and into self belief & trust. ⚡️When you believe you can, you will. ⚡️When you trust you can make it happen, you will make it happen. ➡️ For this team, they led with a huge dose of belief and trust which created the result of NAILING the presentation to get the retailer buy in. They now have a launch date and are prepping to go live. I am so proud of them and their willingness to get the support needed to succeed. Do you and your team need the same support? If so - I am here for you 💝 PS: Enjoy this throwback pic to little 24 year old me who was flooded with excitement as I was about to do my first Sephora Market Week Presentation. Sending so much love to that version of myself who bravely stepped up to the plate & presented to a room of 30+ Sephora team members & buyers. I just remember thinking how ready I was for that moment and how thrilled I was that this dream was coming true at such a young age 🤩🙌🥳

SEPHORA Recently I hosted a virtual moment to pause with my colleagues and have some virtual fun together. Celebrating wins, big or small is so impactful. Each victory, no matter its size, is a testament to our hard work, resilience, and commitment. It's not just about reaching the finish line, but also appreciating the journey that got us there. 2023 was a year that shed light on new opportunities, changes and obstacles for our team. Celebrations foster a sense of accomplishment and boost morale, but they also play a crucial role in strengthening our collaborative relationships. They remind us that our successes are not achieved in isolation, but through the collective effort of a dedicated team. Having fun together isn't just an added bonus, it's a key driver in achieving our goals. Shared laughter and joy create a bond that fosters a sense of unity that is truly invaluable. Here you can see my teams findings after I told them to race and find something blue in our "Find Something" game. Don't mind my face, I was focused on capturing the moment haha. We spent time diving further into our Gallup strengths and how they show up in the way we work. We had some fun in sharing some favourite personal stories and ended with some friendly competition. Mikala Medeiros, M.Ed.Vanessa Savanh Abeha Ali Let's continue to celebrate our wins, elevate our relationships, and remember to have fun along the way. Because together, we are stronger, more resilient, and capable of achieving great things. #sephora #sephoralife #greatplacetowork #collaboration #resilience #Teamwork #Success #Celebration"

Inclusivity means Empowering Women at Every Level.

#Sephora continues to shine in the #luxurybeauty category, with outstanding performance in Q2 2023. #LVMH's U.S. business experienced a slight slowdown, primarily due to base period effects and the impact of the #Hennessy hangover from pandemic-related binge spending. Despite this, #Sephora stood out as a star performer. In North America, Sephora's Q2 growth was a remarkable +25%, reaffirming its status as a leader in the beauty industry. This strong performance aligns with the trend of increased consumer demand for perfumes and cosmetics as people return to offices and social activities. Sephora's success mirrors the overall buoyancy of the beauty market, as seen in L'Oréal's robust Q2 2023 results, which recorded +10% growth in the North American segment. This trend underscores the ongoing preference for beauty products in the region. #Sephora #LuxuryBeauty #LVMH #Q2Performance #Cosmetics #Perfumes #BeautyTrends https://lnkd.in/eFYwrZ6d

As a Sephora customer, it's quite disappointing to witness employees being rewarded with merely a cookie after the company has achieved $10 billion in sales. It's evident to any shopper at Sephora how dedicated the employees are. They provide excellent recommendations and offer personalized shopping assistance. Their efforts are a significant contribution to the company's success. Sephora had numerous opportunities to more meaningfully invest in their employees. They could have made company stock available to them, offered a $250 shopping spree within the store, or even hosted a glamorous event to celebrate their hard work with red carpet treatment. Alternatively, a simple $100 bonus in their paychecks could have been a more appreciative gesture. Rewarding their commitment with something more substantial than a cookie would have been a better acknowledgment of their hard work and dedication. #employeeappreciation https://lnkd.in/dehNrgBs
