If your leadership bench can execute but can't decide, you don't have leaders yet, you have very reliable followers. This episode features Brice Ravussin, Vice President of Customer Care and Aftermarket at Demers Ambulances. Brice has led multi-site, multi-country customer support teams built out of company acquisitions, turning former competitors into one aligned organization focused on a single end game: an exceptional customer experience. Brice and host Alex D. Tremble unpack what it actually takes to build a bench that owns decisions instead of routing them back up, even when that bench is spread across locations, cultures, or teams stitched together through growth. You'll learn: - How to give your leaders the clarity they need to decide without checking in first A simple three-step process for resolving customer conflicts without defensiveness or blame - Why chasing full managerial coverage across your team is the wrong goal, and who to develop instead - How to keep multiple locations or newly merged teams aligned to one end game, even when daily priorities differ - Why treating customers "fairly, but not equally" protects both your top relationships and your team's time This is for you if you're still the one troubleshooting the toughest customer calls, if your regional or branch leaders wait for your sign-off before acting, or if growth has outpaced the clarity your bench needs to lead without you.

E326 QVM Customer Care In Love Update by Seasonal Bounty Podcast

Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about learning culture.  We talk a lot about creating the right cultures at work, hiring for 'culture fit'. But do we talk as much about the culture we're actually trying to create? Often 'culture fit' ends, whether consciously or otherwise, with the creation of a group of likeminded people and personalities that drive comfort, not innovation. So what happens when we really define the culture we're looking to create? And what if that culture is one dedicated to learning and growth, as individuals and as a team?    In an increasingly divisive time, where people identify strongly on one 'side' of an issue or another – and in a time where DEI in the workplace is feeling the pressure – could a focus on learning help ease that pressure and create the environments we need for shared success moving forward, regardless of who we are or how we identify?   Our panel will be exploring all of that today. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.11] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·         Opal – Vice President of Supply Chain at Fabletics ·         Keith – Talk Show Host of Mornings in the Lab with Keith and Friends ·         Ellin – CEO of The Sidell Method, a boutique professional services firm ·         Lauren – Regional Head of Customer Care and Business Excellence at CMA CGM and Executive Coach at LG Energy Coaching  [05.30] The group explore what learning culture means, the different factors impacting it from mindset to policy, and how it can be leveraged in the workplace. ·         People ·         Training ·         Systems ·         Growth mindset  ·         Core values and principles ·         Learning in the same direction/employee alignment   ·         Holistic approach ·         Intersectionality ·         Individuality ·         Corporate sanitization of creativity ·         People's unique talents and ways of thinking ·         Ongoing learning – who's responsibility is it? ·         Intent "It means learning about people, the core of where it all begins… But you have to be intentional to build a culture." Keith  "It's training, but it's much more than that. It's a system where growth is not only expected but normalized, it's part of what's supported daily." Lauren "There's going to be some of that one-size-fits-all, standard corporate training, but there's also an individualized focus that builds loyalty, makes everything more collaborative and creates a better experience for everyone." Opal [27.10] The panel reflect on the impact of AI on contemporary teams and learning culture, now and in the future. ·         Changing teams ·         People being left behind ·         Bringing personal and professional together ·         'Bring the woo to work' ·         Movement away from siloes/verticals ·         Creating enough space/time/opportunity for creativity/learning  ·         Control of data/controlled environment ·         Flow state ·         Passion ·         Balance between work/personal time investment ·         Elimination of juniors/middle management ·         Governance ·         Trust ·         Accountability ·         Cybersecurity ·         Budgetary investment "Those that make the investment now will be the leaders that change the world." Keith "Yes, AI is knowledge. But learning culture is people." Ellin  [45.37] The group discuss other key aspects of learning culture, and what happens when individuals don't want to embrace it.    ·         Personal growth ·         Peer-to-peer ·         Skills ·         How do we keep up? ·         Change management ·         Fear ·         Conversation ·         Leadership ·         Motivation "The idea of a knowledge worker comes back to decisions, curation, creativity." Ellin  "How are people wired? What's their personal motivation?... Then we can connect the learning to what people care about – advancement, their relevance, pride of contribution." Ellin [01.08.22] The panel share ideas for the practical ways we can start to create meaningful learning cultures in the workplace.   ·         Empower your team ·         Celebrate success ·         Support mistakes ·         Embrace testing ·         Lead by example ·         Share experiences ·         Collaboration ·         Communication ·         Embed the learning into work, not the other way round ·         Creating safe spaces ·         Self-awareness ·         Diversity ·         Giving/receiving feedback ·         Curiosity [01.17.24] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.  RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Opal, Ellin, Lauren and Keith over on LinkedIn.  

In this episode of Careers for the Blind, I sit down with James Ashworth to discuss his journey through vision loss while building a successful career in the airline industry. Diagnosed with cone-rod dystrophy after already establishing himself professionally, James shares how he first began noticing changes in his vision and the challenges that followed.James talks about the tremendous support he received from many of his supervisors, while also opening up about the moments where he had to advocate strongly for himself when others questioned whether he could take on new responsibilities with accommodations in place. Through persistence, determination, and a willingness to embrace new challenges, James consistently proved his abilities through excellent work and leadership.That drive ultimately helped him rise through the ranks and build an impressive career at Southwest Airlines. His story is a powerful example of resilience, self-advocacy, and the importance of giving people the opportunity to succeed based on their talent and performance rather than assumptions about disability.

A People-First, Tech-Enhanced Approach to Customer Care  Shep interviews Jenni Hawkins, Vice President of Customer Care for Gas South. She discusses human-led customer service, employee engagement, and community involvement to deliver exceptional customer experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can balancing technology and personal interaction improve customer loyalty?  How does a strong internal culture impact the overall customer experience?  Why is it important to offer customers a choice between AI tools and human interaction?  How can handwritten notes or personalized follow-ups boost brand loyalty?  How are emerging technologies like AI used to support, not replace, employees?  Top Takeaways:    Human-led customer service creates stronger connections with customers. Even as AI and technology advance, many customers still want the option to speak to a real person, especially for sensitive or complex issues.   While investing in AI enhances the customer experience, providing easy access to human support helps build trust, resolve issues efficiently, and build customer loyalty.  While many companies are turning to AI and self-service channels to cut costs, the most effective approach is to use technology to assist, not replace, customer support teams. AI tools and chatbots can handle routine inquiries and streamline processes, allowing agents to focus on building relationships, offering empathy, and solving complex problems.  When it's possible, employing customer care staff within the same communities they serve provides a significant advantage to both the company and its customers. Local teams have firsthand knowledge of regional regulations, weather patterns, and community-specific concerns. They can relate to customers on a more personal level, anticipate needs, and respond to unique local situations with empathy.   An organization's internal culture directly impacts the customer experience. When companies invest in their teams, employees become more engaged and committed to the company's mission.   Low employee attrition and high job satisfaction translate into more engaged agents who use their experience and empathy to better serve customers and contribute to a strong, positive brand reputation.  Personal touches like sending handwritten or personalized cards after customer interactions make a lasting impression. Even when automation is used to scale these efforts, cards that reference specific details from the customer's experience strengthen the sense of genuine care and appreciation that employees and companies have for them.  The State of Customer Service and CX study shows that most customers prefer to use the phone to resolve issues, especially when something goes wrong. This preference cuts across generational lines and is even more needed for emotional or complicated customer concerns. Even though self-service solutions boost efficiency, providing an easy way to speak with a real person when automation is not enough prevents frustration with impersonal digital-only solutions.  Customers love to do business with companies that contribute to their communities and support local causes. When companies are transparent about their community engagement, whether it's through financial contributions or volunteering, it not only makes employees proud to work there but also builds trust within the community.  When leaders consistently embody the business's values and mission and actively support both customers and employees, the effects are felt throughout the organization. Employees become brand ambassadors, invested not only in day-to-day tasks but also in the company's larger purpose. It creates a workplace where employees want to stay, and customers want to do business. Plus, Jenni shares how Gas South has earned thousands of outstanding 5-star Google reviews. Tune in!  Quote:   "Embracing technology is important, but customers should always have the choice to speak to a human when they need to."  About:     Jenni Hawkins is Vice President of Customer Care at Gas South and has previously held leadership roles at Delta Air Lines, CBORD/Roper Technologies, and Delta Community Credit Union. Since 2021, Jenni Hawkins has helped Gas South achieve record customer satisfaction and thousands of 5-star Google reviews.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

On this urgent and important episode of Fishing the DMV, I'm joined by Dean Naujoks of the Potomac Riverkeeper to discuss a major Potomac River environmental emergency that every angler, boater, and outdoor recreationist in the Mid-Atlantic needs to know about.As of this week, an estimated 60 million gallons of raw, untreated sewage per day has been discharging into the Potomac River due to a catastrophic failure of a major sanitary sewer interceptor line in Montgomery County, Maryland. The break occurred near Lockhouse 10 within the C&O Canal National Historical Park, sending sewage directly into one of the most heavily fished rivers in the Mid-Atlantic.In this episode, we cover:·       The Potomac River sewage spill and what caused the interceptor line failure·       How the raw sewage overflow is impacting water quality, fish populations, and aquatic habitat·       Current water sampling results, E. coli concerns, and public health risks·       How DC Water is responding and working to divert and contain the sewage spill·       What this means for Potomac River bass fishing, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and recreational fishingAt the time of recording, D.C. Water is actively responding to the sanitary sewer overflow, but all untreated sewage is still flowing into the Potomac River near Lock 10. Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com Link to Potomac Riverkeepers on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/potomacriverkeeper Email the Potomac Riverkeepers at: dean@potomacriverkeeper.org Link to Potomac Riverkeepers website: potomacriverkeepernetwork.org Potomac Riverkeepers on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/potomac_riverkeeper_network/ If you have additional questions about the Potomac Interceptor and DC Water's response, contact DC Water's Customer Care team (202) 354-3600 or the 24-Hour Command Center at 202-612-3400. thank you to my sponsors that help keep the show alive! Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Click the link below to get 15% off any roll-on when you use  the code BLUEFISH. https://emutherapy.com/pages/fishing-the-dmv-with-thomas-arens #Potomacriver #fishingtheDMV #Conservation Support the show
