Drawing from the book The Mastery of Customer Service in Careers by J. Mark Munoz, Nigel Hill, and Diane M. Crutcher, this session explores a comprehensive set of concepts that define service excellence across every stage of a career.
Blending real-world experience, research-based insight, and reflective storytelling, the discussion is organized around three perspectives: You—the service provider; the Customer—the service recipient; and Final Thoughts—key principles that tie service mastery to long-term success.
This interactive session is practical, grounded in today’s service realities, and designed to deliver actionable takeaways you can apply immediately to strengthen both your professional impact and personal growth.
