Using primary data gathered to inform both the effectiveness of what they are doing now, and its comparative strength versus the competition.Richard explains how conventional metrics in CX blindside companies to what really matters to their customers. Whilst these sentiment metrics move, colleagues in companies struggle to identify what they have changed, meaning it's less reliable.

We kick of series 12 of the CX superheroes podcast series with an industry legend. There can be few people in CX you'd want to spend time with more than Jim Tincher. We were delighted when Jim agreed to be a featured author in the Lexden CX Book Club and share the 'making of' Do B2B Better. This is a book which captures Jim's learnings which he's comfortable enough to point out include failures and successes. In fact, in the discussion it becomes clear it is earlier failures (or lessons) which have informed the later and more frequent successes. There are few books dedciated to the art of B2B CX, and as a global b2b CX practitioner himself, host Christopher Brooks is able to have an informed and interrogative discussion on the topic.Whilst there are few book spoilers in here, the narrative does keep close to the book and Jim's influences and inspiration for it.  Jim might also be the nicest guy in CX.

As Women's History Month and National Reading Month comes to a close, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable achievements of women throughout history. One woman whose story deserves recognition is Shirley Verrett, an African American opera singer who broke barriers in the music industry.Verrett's life and career are chronicled in the book "I Never Walk Alone: The Autobiography of Shirley Verrett," co-written by today's guest, Dr. Christopher A. Brooks. This inspiring memoir details Verrett's journey from her humble beginnings in Louisiana to her rise as one of the most celebrated opera singers of her time. Throughout her career, Verrett faced many challenges, including racism and discrimination. She was often told that she could not perform certain roles because of the color of her skin. Despite these obstacles, Verrett persevered, paving the way for future generations of African American singers.As an internationally-recognized biographer, Christopher Brooks has produced several book-length manuscripts including I Never Walked Alone: The Autobiography of an American Singer (with the late Shirley Verrett, John Wiley 2003 now available in Kindle version, 2011); Follow Your Heart: Moving with the Giants of Jazz, Swing and Rhythm and Blues (with Joe Evans, University of Illinois Press 2008; second paperback edition, February 2011), and Dangerous Intimacy: Ten African American Men with HIV (with Christopher Coleman, Linus Publications, June 2009). In "I Never Walk Alone," Verrett shares her struggles and triumphs with candor and grace. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of breaking down barriers. The book is filled with behind-the-scenes tales of this diva's great performances, roles, and collaborations, offering insight into her stormy personal relationships as well as her private struggles and critical decisions. Featuring forewords by such figures as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Zubin Mehta, and Claudio Abbado, this richly detailed book paints a vivid picture of a magnificent survivor and an indelible artist known around the world as the black Maria Callas. Her story reminds us that, even in the face of adversity, we can achieve great things.Dr. Brooks provides valuable insight and context throughout the book. His contributions shed light on the cultural and historical significance of Verrett's accomplishments, and his collaboration with Verrett gives readers a deeper understanding of her story.As we celebrate the end of Women's History Month, let us remember the trailblazing women who have made a significant impact in their fields, like Shirley Verrett. Let us honor their achievements and continue to strive for a more equitable and just world for all.Become a Box Office Circle subscription member for access to the video with a presentation about the life of Shirley Verrett by Dr. Brooks!

The Customer Experience superheroes aims to inspire you with the latest thinkers in CX. Hosted by global customer experience specialist Christopher Brooks of Lexden CX, you are introduced to qualified experts in their field of customer experience specialism.One critical area of customer experience is customer feedback. But too often this is seen as the collection and reporting back of performance. With a dashboard being the end product. But, as Adam Alfia, founder of RealTime Feedback highlights, what is the point of collecting feedback if it doesn't effect change. And whilst a dashboard can show status, it cant deliver the change. Adam shares how RealTime Feedback empower operational colleagues with insights which lead to improvements, which can immediately assist customers. But it doesn't stop here. Adam explains how customer feedback platforms in spaces where the public reside can also play a secondary role in  the welfare of customers. As someone committed to better outcomes, Adam has not limited his thinking to insight to deliver operational improvements, but also as an 'alert' system to safely inform the authorities of threatening or disruptive human behaviour. As someone who has been around the industry for so long, it was incredibly rewarding to hear how Adam is still inventing and innovating on behalf of the customer. To hear the full interview, please tune in.

This episode of the Market Pathways Podcast tackles the biggest problem facing device companies today: reimbursement. Ask medtech executives and investors the biggest change in the challenges currently confronting product companies compared with a decade ago and the overwhelming consensus response is that reimbursement has replaced regulatory as the biggest obstacle to successful commercialization. Dealing with the multiple elements of reimbursement - coding, coverage and payment - which involve a variety of public and private organizations, makes this a complex pathway for small and large companies alike, and that doesn't even begin to address international coverage. Our recent San Francisco Innovation Summit, held in November 2021, featured a reimbursement panel moderated by Stephen Levin, Market Pathways' Editor-in-Chief, that, rather than talking in hypothetical terms, highlighted perspectives from two companies with innovative cardiovascular technologies that have successfully navigated the reimbursement process, and an experienced consultant who has worked with many device companies to achieve payment for their products. The panelists were Christopher Brooks, Director of Healthcare Economics for Impulse Dynamics NV (implantable device for heart failure), Heather A. Brown, SVP of Market Access and Reimbursement for Heartflow Inc. (non-invasive coronary artery disease diagnosis), and Adi Renbaum, president of ANR Consulting. An excerpt from this discussion also appears in the January 2022 issue of Market Pathways. We hope you enjoy the podcast.

Schools across the country have introduced elements of critical race theory into their curriculums. The Biden Administration has produced a federal rule that would prioritize funding for history and civics programs shaped by CRT. Meanwhile, lawmakers in 16 states have introduced or passed legislation this year seeking to limit the teaching of critical race theory within public institutions. And parents across the country have pushed back against school boards adopting CRT and filed litigation to that effect. What is critical race theory? Is the Biden Administration able to encourage its teaching through funding? Are states and localities within their rights in designing and limiting curricula and what can and cannot be taught in public schools or do laws that do so potentially violate First Amendment rights or other applicable law?Featuring:Prof. Christopher Brooks, Professor of History, East Stroudsburg UniversityJoe Cohn, Legislative and Policy Director, FIRETaylor Meehan, Counsel, Consovoy McCarthy PLLCModerator: Alison Somin, Legal Fellow, Center for the Separation of Powers at the Pacific Legal Foundation* * * * * As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.

Prof. Dr. Phil Klaus from the International University of Monaco is today's guest on the podcast.    Prof. Dr. Phil Klaus joins Neal to talk about his recently published article "What matters most to ultra-high-net-worth individuals?" The article, which is included on this link, explores what really does matter to those individuals who have everything? Do they have the same wants and needs as us mere mortals?   Dr. Klaus, with a passion that is very seldom seen, answers the above question, and more, in today's podcast. He explains what really matters to the uber-rich, why it matters and that a company's focus should be on post-purchase, rather than purchase itself, whether that's a yacht, airplane, assistance with financial wealth or a super-car.    One of the major take-aways from the podcast is Dr. Klaus's 4 Step framework for improving #CX, including such items as the importance of personal relationships and achieving consistency and saving time. As Dr. Klaus puts it, time is the currency of the future of CX and , while you can't delight a customer, you most certainly can delight your company to bankruptcy (you heard those two golden nuggets here first!.)   Dr. Klaus also has a special call out for Christopher Brooks, and his world with the #CXWG2021.   Prof. Dr. Phil Klaus's studies: https://bit.ly/3pGQipM

In this episode of the Customer Experience Superheroes podcast we discuss CX leadership with John Hanson. As consultant, author and President of Accelerated Revenue, John has spent a lifetime listening and observing qualities of leadership in CX. In conversation with host, with Christopher Brooks, John shares his experiences of leadership in customer experience explaining the binary principle of the Abundance mindset versus the Scarcity mindset. He explains how Generation Y and Millenniums deselect organisations who survive on a scarcity mindset because it doesn't allow individuals to add value and make a difference and how this is now as important as the pay cheque for a new generation of workers. If you lead or support leaders in customer experience, this is a must listen to understand how and why approaches to leadership need to evolve.

Roland Hayes and the Lost Generation While reporting the story of Black Swan Records, we spoke with dozens of musicologists, one of whom produced a music compilation called “Black Swans” (plural) about forgotten Black classical singers. Here's the extraordinary tale of Roland Hayes, another great (and largely forgotten) creator of new cosmologies. The Vanishing of Harry Pace was created by Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee It was Motown before Motown, FUBU before FUBU: Black Swan Records. The label founded exactly 100 years ago by Harry Pace. Pace launched the career of Ethel Waters, inadvertently invented the term rock n roll, played an important role in W.C. Handy becoming "Father of the Blues," inspired Ebony and Jet magazines, and helped desegregate the South Side of Chicago in an epic Supreme Court battle. Then, he disappeared. The Vanishing of Harry Pace is a series about the phenomenal but forgotten man who changed the American music scene. It's a story about betrayal, family, hidden identities, and a time like no other. This series was produced in collaboration with author Kiese Laymon, scholar Imani Perry, screenwriter Cord Jefferson, and WQXR's Terrance McKnight. Jami Floyd is our consulting producer; our fact checker is Natalie Meade. The series features interviews with Pace's descendants and over forty musicians, historians, writers, and musicologists, all of whom grapple with Pace's enduring legacy. This episode featured scenes from Christopher Brooks' and Robert Sims' biography, Roland Hayes: The Legacy of an American Tenor. Thank you to actor William Jackson Harper for helping us bring Berlin to life. Also Lillian Xu, Eli Cohen, Theodora Kuslan, Sarah Sandbach, Andrew Golis, and MaryAnne Nesdill.    This episode featured the following music: Robert Sims Sings the Spirituals of Roland Hayes Bill Doggett's collection of Black Swan records  Black Swans: The First Recordings of Black Classical Music Performers  Du Bist Die Ruh by Roland Hayes  Were You There by Roland Hayes  Vesti La Giubba by Roland Hayes

Clientship's CX Superheroes podcast series explores the talents and traits needed to be a success in Customer Experience. We meet incredibly committed individuals who are making a difference through their work in customer centricity.The SME community is one which CX has been 'sold' to in the past and failed to deliver the returns it achieves for larger corporates. Why is this? A lack of qualified professionals to support this community? Possibly. More likely is that it takes a real skill to take the sometimes jargonistic langauage of customer centricity ands make it relevant and meaningful to the candlestick maker, retailer or international distributor - all of whom with a few employees are SME's. But each who can increase their fortunes with improved customer experience outcomes delivered. That's where Claire Radbourne, from Melbourne, Australia stand apart from others.

As Chief Experience Officer of Officium Labs and Co-founder of the CX Accelerator community, Nate is respected across the globe for his inspirational and progressive approach to customer experience.

Which means making sure you have the skills you need for your purpose. He expresses how we need to 'get out of the rut we've fallen into'.

In this episode we deal with a topic often side stepped by CX professionals and practitioners - customer data. We speak to GDPR expert, financial services leader and all round 'one of the good guys', Simon Hinks. I, Christopher Brooks, talk about what responsibilities Customer Experience has when it comes to customers data. Do we ever think about the implied consent when we send out feedback surveys, or do teams map out the customer 'SAR' (subject access request) journey? Or do we assume the CRM, data and compliance team have it covered?Customer experience assumes alot when rolling out the 'wow' experiences, but we really need to make sure we've got the customer's permission first!Simon helps us understand the potential for getting it wrong and how costly that can be to a company in terms of fines but also a loss of customer trust. "If I can't trust you with my data, why will I trust you with anything else?.Anyone in CX shoudl listen to this and find out just how low down the agenda is your data permission considerations, compared to where it should be?Now in our second season, the CX Superheroes podcast series, sponsored by Clientship.

Imagine, one moment you are sitting in a juvenile detention center in downtown Minneapolis, MN looking out a small sliver of a window...

Sounds like a movie, but it's actually part of the real life story of our guest. On this episode of The EDGELIFE7 Presents: According To, Phillip and Carrie welcome husband, father, leader, philanthropist, executive pastor and advocate for biblical justice, Dr. Christopher Brooks.

Today I am going to review a book titled, “A Guide to Teaching in the Active Learning Classroom: History, Research, and Practice” by Paul Baepler, J.D. Walker, D. Christopher Brooks, Kem Saichaie, and Christina Petersen, published in2016. This is an important work, referenced by the Educause Learning Initiative in their, “7 Things You Should Know About … Research on Active Learning Classrooms.” Active learning pedagogy and active learning classrooms, or ALCs, are an important topic on many campuses. Lawrence is no exception. As higher education is looking for ways to engage with students, active learning has come to the fore as a means of doing that. This book is a great resource for anyone interested learning about, or considering teaching in an active learning classroom. My goal for this episode is to distill for you those things I found most informative and helpful for someone interested teaching in an active learning classroom.
