Two moments this week made me stop, look in the mirror… and finally get my act together. Moment one: a cheesy joke that hit a little too close to home I was re-reading No Excuses by Brian Tracy (yes, that old classic), when I came across this line: “Denial is not a river in Egypt.” […]
As a passionate advocate for customer experience, I continually seek ways to make CX not just effective, but extraordinary. That’s why, in my latest episode of CX Leadership Talks, I introduced a new framework close to my heart: the CX Boomerang. This isn’t just about ticking boxes – it’s about creating business value by crafting […]
Episode 53 of CX Leadership Talks is unlike anything I’ve shared before. While I was in Singapore recently, exploring the world of Artificial Intelligence – from smart chatbots to creative content tools – I had an idea. What if I handed over the mic… to AI? I gave an AI called Notebook LM access to […]
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Singapore – and what a week it was! I spoke at the APSS Speaker Summit, met fabulous fellow professionals, and on one unforgettable evening, hosted The CX Game at a local CX Meetup. A big thanks to Avi Liran for the connection and Irene Lim for the […]
In an increasingly competitive and dynamic business environment, customer experience must move beyond incremental improvements. It is time for bold, visionary moves that redefine how organizations prioritize, design, and deliver customer value. During my recent keynote at the Asia Professional Speakers Singapore Convention, I was asked to share an “Amplified Imagination” – a forward-looking vision […]

In my work as a customer experience speaker, educator, and entrepreneur, I’ve learned one thing for sure: no one becomes a great CX leader by accident. It takes reflection. It takes consistent learning. And, sometimes, it takes a really crappy course to spark something brilliant. To celebrate the 50th episode of my podcast, CX Leadership […]
Wow. Just wow. Last week I hosted three CX Story webinars, and let me tell you – what an experience. CX leaders from around the globe tuned in, ready to sharpen their stories and step up their game. If you were one of them: thank you. Your energy, your openness, your curiosity… it was electric. […]
In our bright orange retro Volkswagen T3 camper – her name is Beatrix, after our former Dutch queen – there’s always a roll of duct tape in the glove compartment. She’s a classic. She’s fun. And she’s not without quirks. When the mirror gives up, the fridge door flaps open, or some mysterious knob decides […]
If you can’t explain the urgency of customer experience (CX), who can? As CX leaders, we often struggle to make CX a top priority within our organizations. People nod along when we talk about improving customer experiences, but when it comes to budget, resources, or executive buy-in – suddenly, other priorities take center stage. So […]
