This lady is brilliant 👏 👌. She's dropping nuggets left right centre ....its up to us to pick-up or toss it. Her positive attitude is a breathe of fresh-air. She could even run courses on Customer Services....which is non-existent in Africa. Welldone Lynn for bringing her to the stage... This lady is simply incredible 😍 👏

[@WhiskerWander3r]

I run customer service training aimed at improving our customer service here in Kenya using the power of soft skills. We are good at customer service but there is always room for improvement. Business slowed down during Covid but I'm slowly picking it up.

[@tehirahbwalatum3754]

@@WhiskerWander3r Welldone sister 👏 . Africa needs Customer Services etiquette big time. Also, its worth teaching Africans: First-come, first-serve regardless whether the person on the line is black or white. A lot of Africans still have the colonial enslavement and worshipping, I might add..

So inspiring.. if you’re abroad, always remember what you’ve sacrificed just to be there. Not being close to your parents, siblings, relatives and just your comfort zone. I mean.. there has to be an achievement difference and a concrete one as to why you’re not home. Anyone who’s never thought like this.. it’s high time to reevaluate and get a perspective💚.
