Getting in Your Customers’ Way?
Policies, procedures or people may be driving them away
Take the time to evaluate the direction of your customer service and you may discover it’s time to realign your compass! Jan will share some revealing statistics and then guide you through an evaluation of three crucial aspects of customer service:
Policies you have in place and may need to revisit
Procedures that create hoops for your customers to jump through
People skills of those working with customers and those leading them
You’ll take away ideas to help you raise the bar on customer service!
"Jan created a highly relevant program with a targeted message to meet the needs of our members who are business owners. “Getting in Your Customers’ Way? Policies, procedures or people may be driving them away” really hit the mark. In fact, several of our veteran members said, “Jan hit it out of the park.” Most of the 100 attendees were taking notes throughout—I’d say that is a great compliment to Jan’s material. Her program was laced with humor and loaded with ideas our members could implement immediately."

Leader as Influencer: Impression Management in the Spotlight
Promoting excellence and innovation requires the ability to influence a wide range of organization members. Participants will learn what is effective in multiple settings with multiple audiences and develop an action plan to prepare for and manage interactions with colleagues. According to Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, “People are promoted for technical/operational and intellectual reasons, but fail for emotional ones.”
“The participants had wonderful things to say about the Leader as Influencer class – “life changing” according to some. Thank you for your consistent attention to the details of the program.”

Just Talk, Communicate!

likely to get the results we want. more

Getting to What Matters the Most
Do you operate in a crisis mode much of the time? Have coworkers
who say, "Got a minute?" and then take half an hour? Here's a chance
to examine the choices you make each day. Get better at setting
goals, managing priorities, and controlling interruptions so you
get done what needs to get done and quit wasting time on what doesn't.
You'll have more time for what matters the most and lower your stress
level!

How to
Stay Cool When Things Heat UP!
We can't change other people, we can only change ourselves. But
by altering our actions and reactions we CAN influence the response
we get from others. Reduce your stress level by learning to coexist
with life's difficult people:
Become less of a target for negative
behaviors
Learn how to minimize defensiveness—yours
and theirs
Be ready to understand and bring
out the best in others
