What if you could finally prove that emotions, not just price or product features, are the real drivers of revenue, retention, and revenue growth? Too many leaders know their teams create powerful emotional connections, yet they're told “emotion is a soft skill” by the very people who control the budgets. That disconnect leaves organizations stuck defending their work instead of proving its true impact. In this episode, Stacy Sherman changes that conversation. She explains why legacy metrics like CSAT and NPS fall short, and how companies like translate small emotional gestures into massive financial results. More importantly, she shares a clear framework that shows leaders exactly how to measure emotional ROI and three practical steps you can take this week. By the end, you'll see why emotion isn't a soft skill; it's the new currency of customer experience and the most strategic advantage your business has.

Killing the Golden Goose — Why Tinkering Hurts (and How to Stop)Ever “improved” your business and watched revenue dip? This episode is about the Tinker phase—when a little success gives you a little freedom…and you accidentally starve the golden goose that got you here. I unpack the three ways owners drag healthy businesses down:Fiddling for “better.” Endless tweaks to offers, pricing, scripts, and schedules without evidence. Fix: install a change discipline—a monthly change window, small A/B tests, a simple decision log, and a weekly dashboard (leads, show/close rate, ARPU, churn, CSAT).Neglect via distraction. A shiny side project steals your best hours while the core engine slows. Fix: a Minimum Care Plan—a daily Owner's Power Hour (one growth action before anything else), a crisp scorecard cadence, 10-minute SOPs for recurring tasks, and one Primary-in-Command with clear escalation thresholds.Blowing it up. Panic leads to firing staff, scrapping models, or rebranding from scratch. Fix: a 30–60–90 recovery—stabilize, repair what worked, then improve surgically (one test at a time).You'll leave with a practical cadence to keep speed, protect consistency, and grow without self-sabotage—plus three quick actions to run this week: schedule a monthly change window, add a daily Power Hour, and pick one metric to protect every Friday.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

Dronele, doborâte la ordinul comandantului misiunii (DW) - Coaliția, între presiunea electoratului, măsuri nepopulare și lupte interne. „Ei știu clar că orice instabilitate duce AUR la un procent și mai mare” (Adevărul) - Nu se va putea pe banii europenilor și cu oamenii rușilor (SpotMedia) - Plaha – thrillerul politic care le aduce aminte moldovenilor, înainte de alegeri, cine a tras sforile la Chișinău în ultimii 30 de ani (Europa Liberă) Dronele, doborâte la ordinul comandantului misiunii (DW) CSAT a stabilit protocolul de reacție în cazul unei încălcări a spațiului aerian al României. Distrugerea este soluția de ultimă instanță, a precizat ministrul Apărării. Președintele Dan a convocat CSAT după ce, în urma mai multor incidente aeriene provocate de Rusia în Polonia, România și Estonia, Alianța Nord-Atlantică a anunțat lansarea operațiunii militare ”Santinela Estică”, o misiune flexibilă de supraveghere și protecție a granițelor de răsărit ale NATO în absența unor ”desfășurări fixe” și prin rotirea resurselor în funcție de amenințările punctuale, reamintește DW. Pe de altă parte, președinta Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Leyen, a vorbit și despre un așa-numit ”zid de drone” care va trebui construit pentru a contracara provocările și atacurile Rusiei și un sistem de supraveghere a flancului estic. Măsurile militare discutate la nivelul celor două mari organizații euro-atlantice vizează și un echilibru financiar: se caută soluții pentru a evita recursul la arme prea costisitoare pentru eliminarea mult mai ieftinelor aparate de zbor autonome.   Cele trei scenarii aflate pe masa lucru a Coaliției pentru „reforma” administrației publice locale: de la forma radicală a lui Bolojan la varianta „îndulcită” a PSD (Libertatea) Așa-zisă reformă a administrației publice, în condițiile în care ținta este doar eficientizarea în teritoriu prin concedieri, este tergiversată de aproximativ o lună, iar în prezent Coaliția are trei variante de lucru, care ar putea însemna fie 13.000 de disponibilizări, fie doar în jur de 6.500. Al treilea scenariu este cel avansat de UDMR, potrivit informațiilor Libertatea. Președintele Kelemen Hunor chiar a vorbit public de posibiliatea ca disponibilizările să fie de 7-8% din numărul total de posturi ocupate, în timp ce 2-3% să reprezinte o mai bună drămuire a banului public prin reducerea unor bani de la oprirea investițiile nenecesare, carburant, întreținere etc. Practic, numărul concedierilor ar fi unde de aproximativ 10.000. Sursele Libertatea, inclusiv cele din partidul lui Ilie Bolojan, văd varianta înaintată de UDMR ca pe cea mai acceptabilă și cu cele mai mare șanse de reușită, pentru că reușește și să dea un exemplu prin reducerea cheltuielilor publice în UAT-uri unde au fost angajări excesive, dar nici să nu afecteze sistemic întreaga administrație publică.   Coaliția, între presiunea electoratului, măsuri nepopulare și lupte interne. „Ei știu clar că orice instabilitate duce AUR la un procent și mai mare” (Adevărul) Măsura prelungirii plafonǎrii prețurilor la alimentele de bază a fost luată la insistențele PSD, după un compromis făcut de Ilie Bolojan. Măsurile privind reforma administrației stagnează, iar decizia CCR pe tema pensiilor magistraților poate sa șubrezească stabilitatea Guvernul. Mai mult, criticile constante dintre partidele care formează Coaliția tensionează colaborarea din interiorul Executivului. Cu toate astea, atrag atenția analiștii, PSD, PNL și USR și UDMR trebuie sǎ mențină, împreună, stabilitatea țării. Profesorul Radu Carp subliniază că „atâta vreme cât AUR e undeva la 35-40%, coaliția este nevoită să lucreze împreună. Ei știu clar că orice instabilitate duce AUR la un procent și mai mare”. Analistul politic Ion M Ioniță, redactor-șef Historia, subliniază că actuala coaliție nu poate funcționa perfect, însă adoptarea a două pachete de măsuri fiscal-bugetare în Parlament cu asumarea răspunderii Guvernului arată că cele patru partide, deși diferite și într-un moment greu pentru guvernare, pot să ajungă la consens.

Federația Rusă știe că acum este ultima șansă de a opri integrarea europeană a Republicii Moldova. Mai mult, cu o Moldova pro-rusă, Rusia ar putea face mult deranj în Ucraina. Dacă în Republica Moldova am avea un guvern care nu ar respecta reguli europene, nu ar respecta legi europene, nu ar respecta valori europene, atunci Uniunea Europeană nu va mai avea legal posibilitatea de a ajuta Republica Moldova, avertizează europarlamentarul Siegfried Mureșan (PNL/PPE), într-un interviu acordat Spotmedia, pe tema alegerilor de duminică, din Republica Moldova.   Plaha – thrillerul politic care le aduce aminte moldovenilor, înainte de alegeri, cine a tras sforile la Chișinău în ultimii 30 de ani (Europa Liberă) Un serial puternic inspirat din evenimentele care au traumatizat Republica Moldova în ultimii treizeci de ani face furori la Chișinău înaintea alegerilor parlamentare vitale de pe 28 septembrie. Cum a apărut „Plaha” și de ce acum? Europa Liberă a vorbit cu regizorul Igor Cobileanski și cu doi dintre actorii principali – ambii români. Serialul TV prezintă ascensiunea oligarhului moldovean Vladimir Plahotniuc, unul dintre personajele care au influențat cel mai mult Republica Moldova în deceniile de după prăbușirea Uniunii Sovietice. A costat peste 30 de milioane de lei moldovenești (în jur de 1,6 milioane de euro), spun producătorii. Serialul are 10 episoade. Este disponibil și pe YouTube.

Comandantul misiunii decide doborârea dronelor sau avioanelor militare care încalcă spațiul aerian al României. Precizarile vin dupa sedinta CSAT de astazi. Consiliul s- a intrunit dupa ce in urma cu aproape doua saptamani o drona ruseasca a survolat spatiul nostru aerian aproximativ 50 de minute iar autoritatile romane au decis sa nu o doboare.       Grecia l-a extrădat pe fostul politician şi om de afaceri Vladimir Plahotniuc, pentru a răspunde acuzaţiilor că ar fi fost implicat în sustragerea unui miliard de dolari din sistemul bancar moldovenesc El a fost reținut și plasat în Penitenciarul nr. 13 din Chișinău. Extrădarea are loc cu câteva zile înainte de alegerile parlamentare din Republica Moldova, considerate cruciale pentru viitorul tarii.   Nicolas Sarkozy a fost condamnat la cinci ani de închisoare pentru „conspirație criminală” Iar Nicolas Sarkozy a fost condamnat la Paris pentru conspirație criminală, fiind acuzat că ar fi acceptat finanțare ilegală pentru campania electorală din partea fostului lider libian Moamar Gaddafi.

Navigating today's uncertain business landscape means balancing what's behind us with what's ahead. In this episode, we explore how CX leaders can use leading indicators to predict satisfaction while relying on lagging metrics to evaluate performance.Rather than collecting more data, it's about collecting the right data—spotting early signals in engagement patterns, service inquiries, and employee feedback before they show up in CSAT or NPS. We also look beyond internal data to market trends, competitor activity, and global behavior shifts to understand evolving customer expectations.As technology—and customer access to AI—advances, the information gap is shrinking. CX leaders must rethink how they deliver value in this new reality. By blending historical insights with forward-looking indicators, we can move from reporting what happened to shaping what happens next.What signals are you watching for in your business?Want to ask a question?

Customer experience pros often face a common challenge: robust metrics like NPS or CSAT fall flat outside the CX team. Why? Because other departments don't see how those numbers connect to their goals.This episode explores how to bridge that gap by translating CX data into the language of IT, Operations, and Finance. It's not about dumbing down the data. It's about building context. When CX metrics highlight inefficiencies or opportunities for cross-functional wins, they become powerful tools for collaboration.You'll hear how to align CX insights with departmental priorities so the data speaks to what each team cares about most. We also explore using behavioral and operational data, like service calls, churn rates, or purchase frequency, to demonstrate real business impact. Plus, we introduce the Customer Experience Success Blueprint, a framework designed to help CX initiatives integrate seamlessly with broader organizational goals.Want your CX initiatives to gain real traction? Start by making the metrics matter to everyone.Resources Mentioned:CX Mission Statement Workbook -- https://bit.ly/cx-mission-workbookCX Success Statement Workbook -- https://bit.ly/cx-success-workbookExperience Investigators Website -- https://experienceinvestigators.comWant to ask a question?

From the hype cycle around AI to the real-world constraints enterprises face when adopting new tech, we explore the opportunities shaping the future of business communications in this episode. We're joined by Jon Arnold, an independent tech analyst, for a conversation about the shifting landscape of enterprise communications. We talk about analysts' unique role in shaping vendor strategy and market perception. We discuss the current state of business communications technology, examining what Jon describes as the "three-legged stool" of cloud communications: CCaaS, CPaaS, and UCaaS. We discuss how these previously distinct domains are converging, with vendors increasingly offering capabilities across all three areas.We also explore how AI is disrupting the traditional communications technology landscape. Jon offers valuable insights into why AI-native companies may have advantages over traditional contact centre vendors who are adding AI capabilities, and why the pace of AI adoption varies significantly across different industries and organisations.This episode is brought to you by NLX.NLX is a conversational AI platform enabling brands to build and manage chat, voice and multimodal applications.

This week we are talking about separation anxiety with Caitlin Wolfe.  After adopting a dog who suffered from separation anxiety Caitlin wanted to be able to help other dog owners experiencing the same thing. While Caitlin works with a variety of behavior issues, she is specifically CSAT certified for separation anxiety.  Each dog is an individual and it's important that the training can be customized for each dog.  Some dogs are okay as long as someone is home, other dogs need their owner present.  This is why individual training plans are not only important but necessary.  We are talking about some of the causes and some of the misinformation surrounding separation anxiety.  One thing owners can do for their dog is contact a trainer as soon as they see signs of separation anxiety.  This way the dog doesn't have months or years of rehearsing anxiety behaviors. The goal in training is to change how the dog feels about being left alone. Even though changes in routine, housing, or family dynamics can cause set backs, Caitlin does believe separation anxiety can be cured.Don't forget to review, subscribe, and share!

Your customer says they're “satisfied.” So why didn't they come back? Stacy Sherman—a global keynote speaker and advisor with over 25 years of experience improving customer experience at leading B2B and B2C companies—challenges a metric many businesses still rely on: Customer Satisfaction (CSAT).  She explains how CSAT became the standard, why it made sense in the past, yet no longer reflects what creates true customer loyalty today. “Satisfied” usually means nothing went wrong—but that's not enough to earn retention, repeat purchases, or referrals. If CSAT is still guiding your strategy, this episode will show you what it's missing—and what to measure instead.

In love addiction, we may find ourselves feeling betrayed by a partner-- even if we don't know for sure that something is going on--while doubting our instincts, believing we're too sensitive, and giving an emotionally unavailable partner the benefit of the doubt. This feeling adds to our anxiety, and whatever information a partner is withholding adds to the dysfunction of the relationship...and we stay in the cycle of love addiction hoping things will change. In this episode Jodi talks with betrayal trauma therapist, Lindsay Haverslew, about the reality of betrayal trauma. Jodi and Lindsay share personal experiences with betrayal, and discuss signs that a partner is emotionally unavailable, tips for identifying a trustworthy person, and much more.  Show notes and resources: Music by JD Pendley Link to Jodi's website and additional resources Lindsay's website and instagram Lindsay mentioned the work of Jennifer Freyd and Dr. Kevin Skinner and the book Unleashing Your Power  Disclaimer: This podcast is shared for educational and informational purposes only.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Kelly Meany as guest to the show.   About Kelly Meany:   Kelly Meany is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping others heal from trauma. But long before she entered the field of mental health, Kelly was a caregiver in a way that most children never have to be.   Her mother suffered a traumatic brain injury before Kelly was born, spending 12 weeks in a coma and emerging with lifelong cognitive challenges. From a young age, Kelly found herself in a unique and complex role not just as a daughter, but as more of a caregiver. Then, in her 20s, her mother was diagnosed with dementia, adding another layer to their journey together.   Navigating the emotional, mental, and logistical challenges of caregiving from childhood into adulthood profoundly shaped Kelly's understanding of resilience, connection, and the human capacity to heal. It also inspired her career as a therapist, where she now helps others whether they are caregivers, trauma survivors, or those seeking deeper emotional healing.   Kelly has training in EMDR, CSAT, IFS, and QNRT. She specializes in trauma recovery, addiction, and high-profile client work, offering a unique approach to healing that integrates both science and personal experience.   While Kelly's work in one-on-one therapy is deeply fulfilling, she has a bigger dream of helping people on a macro level. She is passionate about expanding access to trauma-informed care and educating the public about the long-term effects of trauma and caregiving. Through speaking engagements, social media, and writing, she hopes to reach a wider audience, break the stigma around mental health, and create systemic change. She is currently working on a book and has a goal of giving a TED X Talk in 2025 to share her insights on healing and human connection.
