Tune in as we share real-talk conversations between women working in CX and those influencing the CX agenda from the periphery too.
‘Does culture eat strategy when it comes to customer service transformation?’ with Leonie Williams
Joined by Leonie Williams, Co-Founder of Customer Service Solutions Group, in episode #708, we explore the role of culture in delivering excellent service and experiences.
Having worked for global hotel chains Hilton and Intercontinental before joining the Institute of Customer Service, Leonie states that “If you get the EX and the CX right, the business results follow.”
But for businesses that don’t have this customer service culture already embedded throughout, is it really possible to drive this mindset shift?
‘If empathy isn’t the answer, what is?’, with Andreena Leeanne
If empathy isn’t the answer, what is? Joined by Andreena Leeanne, a Lived Experience Speaker and the Author of the poetry book ‘Charred’, in episode #704, she and Clare explore the concept of intersectionality and its importance when creating spaces for others to show up as their full, authentic selves, discuss whether it’s truly possible to empathise with someone whose lived experience is different to that of our own and foreground why “not seeing” race, colour, and gender isn’t enough if we’re to create a kinder, more inclusive world for everyone.
‘Does the customer experience community really need Women in CX?’, with Ian Golding
Joined by Global CX Specialist, Ian Golding, in episode #703, he and Clare discuss the need for support and collaboration in an industry that often leaves us feeling isolated, foreground the importance of recognising our own privilege, and address the scepticism surrounding the need for women’s communities in 2024.
Clare Muscutt talks with Natasha den Dekker about UX research & becoming the role model she never had.
“I'm a woman of colour and I think I have operated in predominantly white spaces my entire life. And as a first-generation person that was born in England, it means that there are a lot of cultural touchpoints that I don't have, and that impacted me growing up. And it's meant that I don't ever really feel like I fit in anywhere.”
