Title: #49 Stop being the Best-Kept secret in your company - Make your CX Story stick

Welcome back, my CX friends! In this episode of CX Leadership Talks, I'm diving into the art of crafting unforgettable customer experience stories that truly stick and leave a lasting impact.

Drawing inspiration from one of my favorite books, "Made to Stick" by Dan and Chip Heath, I'll be sharing six transformative elements to take your CX narrative to the next level.

From simplicity to surprise, concreteness to credibility, and more, we'll explore how to make your message memorable and drive change in your organization.

Plus, I'll tell you about my upcoming webinars where you can work with me to refine your CX story and make it truly stick.

Whether you're a seasoned CX pro or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to spice up your leadership and storytelling skills.

Tune in and let's transform your CX communication together!

In this episode, you’ll learn how to make your CX story Stick, by using the SUCCES formula of the Heath brothers:

✅ Simple – Find the sharpest core message (no more 43-slide decks!) ✅ Unexpected – Grab attention by flipping the script ✅ Concrete – Ditch vague buzzwords; bring true client stories to the table ✅ Credible – Back it up with real numbers and support from senior leaders ✅ Emotional – Data informs, but emotion moves ✅ Stories – Because stories are how people remember and act

CX Leaders, this is for YOU if: ✔️ You’re tired of repeating yourself ✔️ You want people to take action after your presentations ✔️ You’re ready to spice up your leadership with a story that spreads
