Lasting Impressions:
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yesterday marked the end of the first six months and today marks the beginning of the second half of the year. Today is a day of choice. You can either look in the rear view mirror on the events of 2009 to date or you can look straight ahead at the opportunities still available to you.
 
You know which half you can most influence right now. I don't need to tell you that.
 
The question is simple. What half of the year will best define you and your contribution to the customer experience? Will it be what you have already accomplished or will it be what you have yet to do? Make the decision today to grow to greatness.
 
The race is half over. Finish strong. How you finish is how you will be remembered. That's my take. Do you agree? What's your take?

Article:    What Great Service Leaders Actually Do
It all started with an exercise at an executive retreat. Participants were queried throughout the session to reveal what “walking the talk” looked like for a service leader. “Sure, you’re supposed to be a role model. But, that’s just consultant-talk. What does ‘being a service leader’ look like up close on a Monday morning when the sh_t is hitting the fan?”

Article:    Your Savings Are My Services
So, we’ve pretty firmly established by now that there’s a recession, right? Good—don’t need to cover that here. A gym chain has instituted a couple of changes recently that don’t seem all that clever, even if they help bring in a few bucks in the short term. First, and less shocking, is a recent reduction in hours. That’s understandable, except members aren’t getting back a prorated amount of their dues to reflect the reduced service, despite the fact that the savings in salaries, utilities, and insurance should more than make up for the refund.
