    Actually Never Been Happy With Your Outsourced Customer Service?

    Try Integrity & Ownership! Yes, those are two very strong words. Maybe even words, you might find in some “bullshit bingo” charts as well. However, I personally think these two belong together and should be front and center for every true leader. You have to try integrity & ownership , I am sure about that. So much so, that they will play a critical part in part III of my blog series. I could not talk about my journey to a better outsourced customer service, without touching on integrity and ownership. You have actually never been happy with your outsourced…

    Still Not Really Happy With Your Outsourced Customer Service?

    Try Genuine Care & Radical Candor Welcome back to part II of my post series about my journey to a better (outsourced) Customer Service.

One of my team members got a great explanation from his son, who had discussed the matter at Sunday school in church. “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is looking“ Anonymous It’s the best and most…

    Failure? (Not) An Option!

    My husband told me yesterday, that I should be writing “a positive” blog post again. I gave him a confused, yet slightly upset look as a reaction. What was he telling me? My daily diary posts are not “positive” enough? So he went on to explain, he meant a post like the ones I would have written before Covid-19. There was a life before Covid-19, right.

    Hey, Stranger!

    People that know me and work closely with me or are acquaintances or even friends will quickly agree that I am an extrovert. An outgoing person, definitely a little chatty at times. Being asked if I’d like to entertain a room, speak publicly etc. they would probably not hesitate and say “yes, definitely”. They would be somewhat right… And if you asked those same people about my ability to “network” / meet new people, they would probably tell you that I must be good at it as well. That I am good at making connections, that I can “win” people…
