The Copernican Shift

We're finally getting around to an episode on… procrastination. Neha and I explore why we put off those things we know we should be doing. And we start it all with an invigorating breathing exercise that will give you the energy to tackle those tasks you've been ignoring for far too long.

A recent Forrester study found that 82% of decision makers say that CX is a top priority. But that same study found that most brands are struggling to know where to start. To help kickstart this process, we're introducing a multi-part series I'm calling "Imagine" — a creative look at how brands could fully embrace CX.

We start the series with a look at hotels, and some imaginative ways they could completely transform the customer experience.

Too often, humility is in short supply among business leaders. And yet it's a powerful quality that can affect real change in your organization. Today Neha and I take a humble look at leadership, and learn how to balance confidence with humility. Plus, a couple of breathing exercises (of course).

As Carrie Fisher once said, the problem with instant gratification is that it takes too long. Let's face it — we don't like to wait, especially when using an app or a website, where even a short wait can feel like eons. Today we talk about the importance of managing wait times, and dig into past, present, and future online strategies that can improve the customer experience.

It's Monday, and we're back with the Breath Yogi. Today we talk about the importance of attitude, and how a good (or not so good) attitude can make or break a customer experience. It's good advice for business — and for life. Plus, a couple of breathing exercises to start the week.

I'm back in New York (at least for a while), and back in the office — a real-life, physical office — for the first time in more than a year. And I'm certainly not the only one going through this change. So, what will the new office experience be like? How does the office change as we take what we've learned from working at home, and bring that back into the workplace? Today we talk about redefining our corporate work spaces.

It's bargain basement day on the CXM Experience as we look at two recent brick-and-mortar retail adventures. Both positive (or, at least, mostly positive), and both excellent examples of the value of the shopping and checkout experience. It doesn't have to be fancy, as long as you put the customer first.

Today is all about VIM and vigor. Well, maybe not the "vigor" part. But definitely VIM. It stands for Values, Identity, and Moments. And it's a different way to connect with your customers in order to find the people you should be talking to. The signals are out there. All you need to do is look for them.

Plus, a quick review of my amazing customer experience at a venerable, New York retail establishment.

Neha (the Breath Yogi) joins me for a Pride Month celebration, and a discussion on sexual identity. Plus, two breathing exercises to kick off the week.
