💡 Fractional hiring is on the rise - here’s what beauty brands (and execs) need to know. More beauty companies are exploring fractional leadership to stay agile, tap expert talent, and assess long-term fit, especially in today’s rapidly shifting market. As our founder Debbie Johnson shared in her recent Glossy interview with Lexy Lebsack: “Sometimes it’s an avenue for both parties to ‘try before you buy,’ or evaluate the needs of the business to see what that person can deliver.” From career pivots to evolving org structures, this model meets the moment. 🔹 Brings in high-impact talent fast 🔹 Allows flexibility during growth or transition 🔹 Helps evaluate business needs before committing long-term 📌 The full article is available to Glossy+ members (linked in Debbie's post below) 📣 Curious how fractional talent could support your team or next move?

Success is fleeting. But value? It has lasting power. Are you leading with value or simply chasing success? 🤔 “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” – Albert Einstein In the beauty and wellness industries, we often measure success by sales, titles, and revenue. But true value goes beyond these metrics. As leaders, our impact is determined by how we elevate others, share knowledge, and inspire growth. At Premier, we believe that leaders who prioritize value, whether it’s through mentorship, innovation, or strategic decision-making, are the ones who create lasting change. Value doesn’t require recognition; it requires action, humility, and a commitment to the greater good of the team and the company. When we lead with value, success follows naturally. As you reflect on your leadership journey, consider this: What have you done today to be of value to those around you? #PremierExecutiveRecruiting #ValueDrivenLeadership #BeautyIndustryLeadership

But First, coffee! Beauty is brewing something new, and it smells like espresso. Here's why coffee culture is shaping beauty collabs in 2025. ☕ From custom drinks to curated pop-ups, beauty and fashion brands are turning to coffee partnerships to create immersive, buzzworthy experiences. It’s more than just a fun collab, it’s a lifestyle play that: ☕ Embeds the brand into daily routines 📍 Drives real-world interaction + social content ❤️ Forges emotional bonds in familiar spaces These activations help brands show up where consumers already are, with relevance, intention, and style. As beauty evolves, expect more partnerships that blur the lines between culture and commerce. #BeautyTrends #ExperientialMarketing #ConsumerEngagement #PremierInsights #PremierExecutiveRecruiting

Great leaders don’t wait for certainty. They act on insight, intuition, and belief - before the opportunity is obvious. 🌱 “The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.” – John Sculley At the executive level, vision is one of the most valuable leadership traits. While others wait for data, market validation, or consensus, visionary leaders are already moving. They see the gaps before others notice them. They prepare for shifts before they hit the mainstream. And they attract teams who believe in where they’re going. In fast-moving industries, the edge goes to those who can anticipate, not just react. Who on your team is thinking three steps ahead? 💭 #ExecutiveLeadership #VisionAndStrategy #MondayMotivation #PremierExecutiveRecruiting

What’s next in beauty tech? Smarter, more inclusive innovation. In 2025, high-performing, home-use devices are on the rise and consumer expectations are evolving just as fast. Here’s what’s leading the shift: • AI tools that assess your skin + suggest products in real time • Devices delivering pro results (think LED + microcurrent) at home • Sustainable formats like refillables + waterless products • Smart tech built for all skin tones, textures + access levels Beauty brands aren’t just innovating, they’re reimagining personalization, performance, and purpose. Is your team keeping up? #BeautyInnovation #BeautyTech2025 #PremierPerspective #PremierExecutiveRecruiting

The myth that leaders are born still lingers, but the truth is clear: leadership is developed, practiced, and earned over time. 💭 Warren Bennis said it best: “The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born… That’s nonsense. In fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made.” This perspective is especially relevant in executive hiring. We don’t look for charisma, we look for capability. Not just a resume, but a pattern of growth, adaptability, and action. Leadership isn’t genetic. It’s built through decisions, discipline, and the willingness to keep learning. Organizations thrive when they bet on people who lead with intention rather than ego. And the strongest leadership pipelines are built, not born. What qualities do you prioritize when identifying emerging leaders? #ExecutiveLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #MondayMotivation #PremeierExecutiveRecruiting

Wellness isn’t just a lifestyle - it’s driving what’s next in beauty. ✨ Consumers want more from their skincare: ingredients that support both inside and out. We’re seeing supplement stars make their way into the beauty aisle, from methylene blue and propolis to glutathione and astaxanthin. These powerhouse ingredients promise everything from antioxidant protection to improved skin elasticity, and their digital buzz is only growing. 📈 Beauty and wellness are converging - and brands that lean into this crossover are better positioned to meet today’s health-savvy consumer. Is your team exploring the potential of wellness in your next product cycle? #BeautyTrends #WellnessInBeauty #SkincareInnovation

Trust is rarely built in big moments, it’s built in how leaders show up when things get hard. That’s when teams decide who to follow. 👣 “Trust is built when someone sees you walk through what they expected you to run from.” – Michael Todd At the executive level, trust isn’t about charisma, it’s more about consistency. The leaders who show up in the tough moments, calm, clear, and steady - earn followership that lasts. When companies go through transformation or tension, people watch how leadership responds. That response either builds belief - or breaks it. In today’s climate, trust is currency. And how you move through pressure determines what you’ll lead on the other side. Is your team clear on how you lead through challenge? #ExecutiveLeadership #TrustAndImpact #MondayMotivation #PremierExecutiveRecruiting
