Transforming Service Into Impact

Introduction

If Jackie Chan and Angelina Jolie walked into your workplace today, how would you behave? If you are like most people, you would drop whatever you were doing and approach them, smiling, ready and eager to serve them. If Maya Karin walked into your boutique, you would immediately show her the best and finest available in your shop. If Anuar Zain was on the phone asking questions, you would do whatever you could to get him his answers.

What about the rest of your customers? Perhaps you may treat them exactly the same way. Or perhaps, that would not happen. In general, customer service has become an over-used corporate jargon and rarely lived up to.

Methodology

To change your direction, shift your thinking. However long ago you learnt to ride a bicycle, it’s likely an experience you’ve never forgotten. The skill remains with you today. When was your last corporate training program? How much of what was learnt is actively applied in your business today? Are all that remains the workshop manuals left on your shelf?

Our programs are initiatives that last. They encourage new ways of thinking. They open up ways to create extraordinary achievements. We believe individual behavior and attitude contribute significantly to the overall excellence of your organization. So, we focus on what really matters.

Our unique methodology of combining experiential, instructional and discovery learning, and supported by modern coaching technology, creates powerful shifts in attitudes and behavior that will encourage sustainable change in your organization. These changes make an impact on results where it matters.

In our programs, you can expect an extensive use of case studies, debriefing, dyads, facilitated coaching, feedback, games and activities, group discussions, lectures, psychodramas, simulations, story-telling and structured instruments.
