"I enjoyed our training session yesterday and know I learned a great deal about myself, perceptions, emotions, and pre-conceived ideas.

"Internet service was the newest division of our corporation. We knew that our helpdesk technicians were technically qualified but lacked customer service experience. We also knew that the initial customer contact would be critical in establishing our reputation in a highly competitive technology. Therefore, we asked Linda to develop a customer service program tailored to our specific industry. She implemented a program that was exactly what we were looking for. Her customer service and technology expertise proved to be the perfect combination. ...Kudos to Linda!"
HR Director - Internet, Telecommunications

Wouldn't it be great if there were no angry customers, no difficult co-workers, and just no problems? And no one who" works your last nerve."
Some days we would like to escape to an island paradise and spend our days lying on the beach. If only it were that easy. But we know that emotional people and frustrating situations are part of our life. So we need to deal with them.
Learning to cope with difficult situations produces great bonuses. Happy customers mean repeat business, terrific public relations, and a profitable business. Happy co-workers create a positive and productive work environment. And certainly happy bosses appreciate a job well-done.
