Keynote Luncheon:
If You’re Going to Lead, You Need to COACH — Becoming a better leader and developing a stronger service culture
Your company’s success depends on the example set by its leaders. Since great customer service always begins at the top, it is imperative that a leader learn and model the principles of service. In this upbeat, interactive, and substantive program, Charles tells stories from his own leadership journey, and relates the hard fought and hard won customer service lessons he’s learned along the way. Leaders aren’t born, they’re developed, so if you’re ready to see your team improve, it’s time to take a look at what makes a great leader great, and what makes a poor leader fail.
