Pick up any business magazine today and (finally) there are some frank discussions of how you make your customers (and employees) feel and the importance of deliberately creating positive emotions in the experience. The more companies understand that the better we all will be. As consumers and as suppliers. Feeeeelings.. it’s all about the…
Think about it. You can’t consistently create Customer Evangelists, Deliver WOW experiences or knock anyone’s socks off with a Ho-hum culture, can you? But when you build an optimistic culture that’s coherent, aligned, strong and focused on creating positive customer experiences – what you’ve really created is an organism that can out think, out…
We all know that an outstanding customer experience grows out of a positive, life-affirming and people focused culture. Every culture has a climate. 50 – 70% of how people feel about the climate at work…
It’s hot out there. Of course it is. It’s summer. In Florida. I just got in from a hot fast walk. I don’t usually walk that fast unless I’m trying to outrun a feeling I don’t know how to deal with, or need to shake an answer out of myself. This time it…

I’ve recently reconnected with a former client who is now a colleague – in six weeks or so we’ll be announcing the launch of our podcast ‘Monday Morning Mojo’. We both coach in positive leadership and have a passion to get the word out to customer focused leaders everywhere. It’s been so much fun…
Our hearts are broken open. Wide open. Again. This time the violence is very close to home. It’s difficult to be a Positive Leader in the face of all this horror. It’s easy to lose your balance at a time like this. Shock. Anger. Grief. Despair. All throw your primal brain into action and kick…
I don’t watch much television, I’m often out at a class in the evening. But on Monday nights after I work out in Janice’s class, a lively fun version of yoga, tai chi and Pilates – I rush home to watch The VOICE. When I was 17 I thought for sure I’d be a…
