    Duck Butt featuring Dean Griess

    Nate Gibson may not be a household name, but his rockabilly novelty, Duck Butt, released in 2017, reminds us that there’s something silly about our favorite feathered waterfowl. Ducks may seem elegant, but when they need to eat, they put their beak in the water, and their tail goes up and that’s when you see those legs churning in the water. Chaos. You’re on stage. There are 100 people in the audience. You’re beginning to sweat. You’re holding the podium in front of you and your presentation is frozen. Sounds like chaos. When Dean Griess sat down to write a book about public speaking, he wanted to make sure that the readers wouldn’t feel silly in front of an audience. He wanted to help them glide smoothly along the stage and not flail furiously like a duck with its butt in the air. His book, Don’t Show Your Duck Butt, contains practical strategies to conquer nervousness, capture attention, and create remarkable experiences. • Understanding Public Speaking Fears • The Vulnerability of Speaking to an Audience • Tips for Overcoming Nervousness • The Importance of Body Language • Navigating Technology in Presentations • Buying Time During Presentations • The Role of Breaks in Long Sessions Connect with Dean on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/deangriess/ Get your copy of Don’t Show Your Duck Butt – https://deangriess.com/about-the-book/ Nate Gibson – http://www.nathandgibson.com/index.html Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Bangarang featuring Ethan Adshade

    EDM and children’s fairy tales may not seem like they go together, but in 2011, Skrillex channeled the 1991 movie, Hook, a cinematic sequel to the story of Peter Pan. Based on J. M. Barrie’s 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy, Hook imagines adult Peter returning to Neverland to rescue his two young children from Captain Hook. Bangarang is more than a Grammy-winning hit for Skrillex, it’s the battle cry of the Lost Boys, Neverland’s gang of orphans who never grow up and never back down from pirates. Connecting with kids as an adult, especially kids who haven’t grown up in model environments, is an adventure. But when you do, the adventure may take you to unexpected places. That’s what Ethan Adshade learned when he signed up for Teach for America right out of college. His plan to go into finance took a turn to a career in learning and development. Today, he’s the Senior Director of Global Training and Development for Ticketmaster, and he joins Next in Queue to talk about what he’s learned during his adventure. • Lessons from the Classroom• Navigating Challenges During COVID-19• The Power of Preparation• Strategies for Classroom Management• Understanding People in Education and Business• Education’s Impact on Community• The Future of Learning and TechnologyConnect with Ethan on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethan-adshade/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Pivot! featuring Natalie Perez

    During the 90’s and early 2000s, Thursday nights were, for roughly 25 million Americans, Must See TV night. NBC’s lineup of hit shows like Friends, Seinfeld, and ER, were a cultural phenomenon that lives on in memes and catch phrases like Ross’s “Pivot!” from season 5. Ross’s detailed plan for success didn’t turn out the way he planned. Software founders often have detailed plans for success only to find that the market is just as challenging as moving a couch up a set of switchback stairs. When the market spurned Natalie Perez’s first software venture, the company pivoted and found success in the QM and WFM space. Her new company, Cisne, is an AI-native WFM platform that is designed to solve the real challenges contact centers have been struggling to solve for decades. It entered public beta this week and she was kind enough to join the show to discuss a variety of topics related to Workforce Management. Topics covered include: • What is WFM?• Challenges with current WFM technologies• The role of AI Agents in Customer Experience• Balancing Efficiency and Customer Experience• Agent Well-Being and Burnout in Contact Centers• Lessons from Past Failures• Introducing the public beta for Cisne.ai – the AI-Native WFM solutionConnect with Natalie on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pereznatalie/ Cisne – https://www.cisne.ai/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Royale with Cheese featuring Frances Chapireau

    John Travolta’s turn as Vincent Vega in 1994’s Pulp Fiction revitalized his career. His character has returned to the US after a 3-year stay in Europe, mostly in Amsterdam. In this memorable scene, he colorfully explains to Jules, played by Samuel L. Jackson, how Europe is similar, yet different. While Vincent’s amusing explanation gave us one of the great movie quotes of all time, it digs into the very real differences in culture and customer expectations between America and Europe. And don’t put the European continent in one bucket when it comes to customer experience, says Frances Chapireau – what works in one country may not in another. As a native Brit living and working in Germany, she’s keenly aware of how current CX “best practices” don’t always apply. • Cultural Differences in Customer Experience• Data Protection and Privacy in Germany• Trust and Relationship Building in Business• Customer Experience Maturity Across Regions• Why Customer Feedback Surveys Are Far from Dead• LEGO®️ SERIOUS PLAY®️ and Creative Facilitation• Language and Cultural Nuances in GermanyConnect with Frances on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/frances-chapireau-62644b38/ BuildCX – https://www.buildcx.consulting/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Praise You featuring Brent Pattison

    The 1999 Dance hit, “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim uses NINE samples, including vocals by Camille Yarbrough from the opening of her song, “Take Yo’ Praise.” It was incredibly successful, reaching #1 in the UK charts and #36 in the US, simply by using building blocks already established by others. Fatboy Slim recognized bits that worked in other compositions, from the Steve Miller Band to Isaac Hayes. He then simply took pieces that already worked and made them his own. Building successful teams requires coaching. But how do you go about doing that? Brent Pattison built his own model based on what he’s seen worked through during his three-decade career in contact center operations. He joins the show to discuss what works, and his tactical book for team leaders, PRAISE. • The Purpose Behind 3P Solutions• The Importance of Coaching in Business• Common Coaching Mistakes• The Role of Documentation• Building Relationships through Notetaking• Creating Alignment in Organizations• Barbeque Recommendations for visitors to Kansas CityConnect with Brent on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarapaton/ Email Brent – brent@3psolutions.ca Praise: The Cornerstone of Coaching to Success for Managers and Supervisors – https://www.amazon.com/Praise-Cornerstone-Coaching-Managers-Supervisors/dp/1068853514/ref=sr_1_1 Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Is You Still a Fan featuring Tara Paton

    Ask 20 people to define customer loyalty and you’ll likely get 20 different answers. Some might give you an academic treatise on different types of loyalty. Some might quote CX experts or companies specializing in measuring customer experience. Others might break out “4 C’s” or “3 R’s” to help define loyalty. When Tara Paton joined Next in Queue – she reached for perhaps the most succinct and accurate definition, courtesy of Kendrick Lamar. Mortal Man was the final track on his platinum-selling 2015 album, To Pimp a Butterfly, which hit number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart immediately upon its release. It’s considered one of the greatest albums of all time. While never released as a single, many consider Mortal Man one of Lamar’s best tracks and a powerful statement about the meaning of loyalty. • The Role of Reviews in Brand Perception• Influencer Marketing and Authenticity• Loyalty Programs and Potential Liability Issues• Driving Success in Retail for D2C Brands• The Value of Employee-Customer Relationships• Gamifying Customer Experience for Enhanced LoyaltyConnect with Tara on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarapaton/ Huemanize – https://huemanize.co/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Our Time featuring Rick DeLisi

    The Goonies were kids who lived in the “Goon Docks” – a blue-collar neighborhood whose existence is threatened by the development of a country club. Sean Astin, playing Mikey, has led them on an adventure in search of One-Eyed Willy’s rich stuff – a treasure everyone else had dismissed as mythical. For decades, contact centers have been like the Goon Docks – a place where good people do good work but a place that never garnered much respect from the country club set. But just like One-Eyed Willy’s rich stuff changed the course of the Goonies, the previously hidden treasure trove of data in the contact center is emerging through the power of technology, particularly AI. Rick DeLisi joins to discuss new research conducted by Glia and Metric Sherpa. Despite some current disconnects, he’s excited about the evolution of the contact center and says right now, it’s our time. • The Lasting Impact of The Effortless Experience• Navigating New Metrics and Expectations• What Personalization Really Means• How Contact Centers are Reinvesting in the Age of AI• The Emergence of AI for All• The Strategic Value of Contact CentersConnect with Rick on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-delisi-1122257/ Glia – https://www.glia.com/ Metric Sherpa – https://metricsherpa.com/ Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/

    Suntory Time! featuring Kento Morita

    Disillusionment and discontent was alive and well before the rise of smartphones and AI. The 2003 Sofia Coppola film, Lost in Translation, is an exploration of experience. The unexpected friendship between Bill Murray’s Bob and Scarlett Johansson’s Charlotte is accidental, but it’s rooted in shared experiences that will only ever happen once. The demand for analog, human experiences may rise again, says Kento Morita. As AI-created “slop” increasingly seeps into our culture, those wishing for high fidelity experiences will seek them out, not from a screen, but from a stage. • The Rise of AI in Entertainment• The Value of Authenticity in a Digital Age• The Importance of Live Experiences• Navigating the World of Performance and Failure• The Intersection of Sports and Performance• Lessons from Crafting a Joke Every Day for a YearConnect with Kento on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentmorita/ KENTO YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@kentonyc Instagram – kento.nyc Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/
