I had fun speaking in Las Vegas on “21 Ways to Keep ‘Em Happy, Keep ‘Em Loyal and Keep ‘Em Coming Back”. It’s one of my favorite talks. It’s fast, it’s funny, it’s chock full of great ideas and there is literally something for everyone, even in a large group. Even more fun were…
I was in the Tampa airport yesterday headed home. As I was looking around for the “no bags to check” kiosks in the terminal I was distracted by people carrying big batches of red balloons saying “I love you”, “Be mine” and other assorted sweet sentiments. I found a bunch of stationary balloons and…
When it comes to good service, or being in good hands, I guess I’m lucky. I actually expect to see some good service out there in the world, and I often do. We get what we focus on and perhaps I look a little harder than most to see it. It was really easy…
Happy customers tell friends.

I’m sitting at the beach and looking up to a clear blue sky. A small plane passes pulling a banner advertising a local bar that has happy hour every day. I wonder. Do you? Well maybe not even a whole hour, and maybe it’s not everyday (curmudgeons rejoice!). But what if…
These days I’ve been out teaching people how the cultural experiences they create inside their company affects the relationships they have outside the company. Now of course we all know this, have always known this, but as I tell the people enjoying my workshops – the first enemy of knowledge is “knowingness.” It’s not…
I recently went out to breakfast with my friend Elaina. We decided on the Panera’s closest to our homes and I was looking forward to my favorite egg sandwich there. I ordered first. “I’ll have the egg and cheese sandwich – no meat – on a scooped out toasted whole grain bagel and a…
