Dr. Timothy Clark developed a framework consisting of four stages of psychological safety that individuals need to progress through in order to feel comfortable speaking up and making valuable contributions: Stage 1: Inclusion Safety, where team members feel safe and accepted to be who they are. Stage 2: Learner Safety, where team members feel safe to ask questions, learn, experiment, and make mistakes. Stage 3: Contributor Safety, where team members feel safe to contribute using their skills and gifts. Stage 4: Challenger Safety, where team members feel safe enough to challenge the status quo and suggest changes or improvements. How to foster psychological safety in your workplace Leaders must prioritise psychological safety in the workplace to create high-performing teams. However, creating a psychologically safe work environment requires coaching and behaviour change at both the individual and organisational levels. Leaders must consistently model inclusive behaviours to build new team norms over time. Failure to establish and support psychologically safe team environments can cause negative consequences and damage to the business.

Embarking on a career at sea is the adventure of a lifetime, but what happens after you complete your nine month contract on board ship? Here are some career options that are available to you. We take a look at the life skills and career skills that are gained when working on board a cruise ship, and how this enhances your career CV and prospects for the future, and how the experience can supercharge your career as a professional. What are the biggest benefits of doing a cruise ship contract? It’s the most rewarding way by traveling the world and earning money, with a huge amount of self-discipline and entrepreneurial skills developed whilst enjoying an incredible lifestyle. All this while gaining experience working on international waters with a diverse clientele, working with a multiple of nationalities that takes you out of your comfort zone and teaches you people skills that you will just not experience in a spa on land at home. How can London Wellness Academy training help your future career? The training is strict and professional. You are trained to look and act professionally at all times, while the independent working environment builds your confidence and business acumen. Your business experience receives a broad range of training not only in running a business with specific column management, but you get to perform an array of many different services. In a land-based, fixed location spa or salon, treatments can be more repetitive, with less of a range in different services. Because at the academy they are trained in the tailor-made treatments, products and procedures used in the spas onboard that set us apart. An important factor in the quality we train for is striving to provide guests with the same quality treatments in any of our spas on any of our cruise ships. Personal Business Skills Development Being confident and comfortable with achieving targets plus having the ability to be adaptive in all scenarios is fundamental in team building and in your own success in the business! In an onboard experience, you work in a 5-star spa, needing to deliver 5-star quality every day, with a far more intensive, inspiring atmosphere. On land, you can set your own pace, but onboard it’s a fast-paced, challenging work environment You need to be flexible, energetic, and positive. You have an incredible opportunity gaining life skills and increasing your knowledge and experience in your profession, working with and on so many different nationalities from so many parts of the world! You gain so much experience and become goal-driven and expectations become higher, encouraging you to always strive for more. When employers see on your CV that you have worked onboard, they know that you are used to working under pressure of time and quality of services, that your personal skills and etiquette in dealing with guests is of the highest calibre. What sets our staff aside is a sense of providing the best quality at all times. So Many Career Options are Available to once you’ve accomplished your First Contract Onboard! • Renew Your Contract Many hairstylists find that they love the experience so much that they sign up for another contract, and often end up doing three or more. The advantage of this is you have a choice of ships after your first contract, and can start to plan your worldwide travels to include all the destinations you long to see. The more time you spend working on board, the more you will earn tax-free with all expenses paid, and the bigger your nest egg of savings will eventually be. • Becoming a Cruise Ship Spa Manager Yourself If you are keen to advance in your career on board ship, and you love the challenge of managing a team, then once you have gained sufficient experience, you can progress to managing an onboard spa. • Landing Your Dream Salon Job – At Home or Abroad! London Wellness Academy-trained staff are highly sought after, and top salon owners all over the world know what calibre of person they are and also the skills and work ethic that they possess. As a result, you can apply for a job at your dream salon, or in a related field such as an educator or technician, with a far greater chance of being accepted because your contract on board is a CV highlight that sets you apart and is internationally recognised. • Opening Your Own Salon If you decide to open your own salon after you complete your contract, you will have a nest egg of savings to invest in your venture and your skills, independence, retail experience, and work ethic will give you a great advantage in the world of business ownership. • Welcomed Back as an Incredible Asset to your Former Salon with a Whole New Business Skillset! More and more salon owners are supporting their staff in the decision to take a “gap year” and work on board, and are keeping their job open and welcoming them back into the salon after their contract. This is a win-win, as the salon benefits from your upgraded skills and expertise, and you are able to resume your career and continue building your clientele – while your incredible experience on board will also have prepared you for a salon manager, or art team, role. Completing a contract on board ship superpowers your career. It opens doors and brings new opportunities. It’s the adventure of a lifetime, offering an experience that you will remember forever. Your career options after your contract are literally whatever you choose! Completing a cruise ship contract is your passport to your dream job, even if it’s in that top salon where you have always dreamed of working. A cruise ship contract is a huge asset to your CV that is respected by top salons worldwide. Are you keen for the adventure of a lifetime, while earning an excellent income and working in the career you love?

The Silver Shine, Icy Blonde and Sweet Camomile product ranges stand out as transformative solutions for maintaining, enhancing, and celebrating blonde hair in all its shades. Embracing Silver Shine: Banishing Unwanted Brassiness Blonde hair, especially those hues with cooler undertones, often experiences the dreaded brassiness as time goes on. Environmental factors, water impurities, and even the natural process of hair oxidation can lead to the fading of the desired blonde hue. This is where milk_shake®'s Silver Shine range steps in as a true game-changer. The Silver Shine range consists of a variety of products that work in harmony to neutralize those unwanted warm tones. The star product, the Silver Shine Shampoo, is infused with various berry extracts that counteract yellow and orange undertones, restoring blonde to its original brilliance.

To take hair care routine up a notch, the Icy Blonde Leave-In Conditioner is perfect for daily hydration, making sure your clients’ icy blonde hair remains sleek, soft, and picture-perfect. The Gentle Touch of Sweet Camomile: Nurturing Natural Beauty Blonde hair comes in an array of shades, each with its own unique characteristics. For those with lighter, more delicate blonde hues, milk_shake®'s Sweet Camomile range offers a gentle and nurturing approach. This collection is particularly beneficial for natural blondes or those seeking to enhance their hair's natural highlights. The Sweet Camomile Shampoo, enriched with the essence of chamomile flower extracts, gently lightens and brightens blonde hair, accentuating its natural radiance. Complementing the shampoo, the Sweet Camomile Conditioner imparts moisture, softness, and vitality to your clients’ locks.
