Every strong customer experience begins with a team that feels confident, supported, and prepared.
But as workplaces change, with remote work, new tools, and faster technology, how we train and connect with our people has to change too.

Michelle shares how small improvements in how we teach, listen, and give feedback can make a big difference in how teams feel and perform.
