Tune in as we share real-talk conversations between women working in CX and those influencing the CX agenda from the periphery too.
Clare Muscutt talks with Sandra Thompson about the power of Emotional Intelligence & Empathy in CX.
“And all of those things that people perceive when they think that change is happening and they feel fearful, it's a threat, right? It's a threat to their survival. So if you're able to use techniques in emotional intelligence, empathy, positive outlook, adaptability, and all of those great things, then people are more likely to go with you when you want to create the change. So that's one thing which is the relationships within the organisation.“
Clare Muscutt and Ines Martinez debating their thoughts on boys, babies, and the future of CX.
“I went to a doctor to talk about freezing eggs and the procedure, how much it costs, like all the details. And I was actually considering doing that because what about if I'm 40 and I regret not doing it. You hear lots of women who have done pretty much the same thing that you and I are doing (focussing on our careers) and they turned 40 or 45 or whatever, and they're fine and they never regret it. But you also know the other stories of people who actually put their career first and then had trouble conceiving.”
Clare Muscutt talks with Claire-Boscq-Scott about CX and overcoming adversity to succeed.
“I think we all come to a point where something happens and you have to say no, enough is enough is enough. I will not take it anymore. So the time for me was about 11 years ago, I was getting divorced and I was working stupid hours in a hotel. My two children were six and 10 so tiny little tots still then. They needed their mum. I had an Au Pair at home looking after them because I was doing crazy hours. I was tired. I was stressed. I was under the pressure from every side and I could see myself going down and down and down and I thought, no, this is it enough is enough. I can't, I can't do it anymore. If I carry on like that, I'm the one who is going to be ill. Who's going to look after my children? And this wasn't the way I wanted it”
