Building A Brilliant Customer Experience

When building customer relationships no comment is trivial and no moment should be wasted. In fact, every word counts! Success can be measured one interaction at a time as relationships are the key to our ongoing success. The way we communicate and connect significantly influences our effectiveness and overall personal performance. The quality of our conversations and our ability to influence others directly impacts our bottom line, and effective communicators make great team players and valuable team leaders. Confidence and competence in effective communication are learned skills.

This high-energy, fun session will help your people build a culture where everyone can be counted on to create a brilliant customer experience.

Key takeaways:

How to be a centre of encouragement and continual improvement
How to identify and turn around behaviours that undermine company success
How to add your extra to the ordinary daily activities and deliver an extraordinary experience

Committing To A Culture Of Continuous Improvement

The success of an organization depends on the quality and depth of its leaders and their ability to grow together and lead effectively. A high functioning cohesive leadership team gets more accomplished in less time because they are not wasting time on the wrong issues. They trust one another and don’t avoid conflict. They make higher quality decisions. They capitalise on the capacities and skill sets of their colleagues and they’re always learning. They are willing to ask for help and be accountable to other team members.

The new business climate demands that we work smarter and more efficiently; we must constantly evaluate what we can do differently and, importantly, what we need to stop doing.

Building Courage in Times of Crisis

Courage is that unquantified capacity to step above negative circumstances and crises and develop a mindset of possibilities and action. Courage is activated when you help others to see their potential and their options and include them in the bigger journey. It takes courage to initiate new behaviours, to innovate new thinking and to create new modes of operating.

It produces fruitfulness when you begin to know and encourage people at a deeper level.

To be a part of a significant team effort, it takes commitment, contribution and more courage; courage to adapt to others, courage to handle conflict kindly and courage to be responsible for what you begin.

This session includes:

How to empower people to act courageously and creatively.
Enabling courageous conversations that we need to have.
How to think “we” instead of “me”; unity and community.
How to keep calm, connect deeply with our people and build hope.
How to affirm attitudes, habits and behaviour that serve the current environment.
How to be a positive influence to those around you.
