The C-Suite Leader was asking a seemingly straightforward question: What is customer experience, really? Now, this person was no slouch. This was a high-achieving, take-no-prisoners, BOSS of a person who I respect. And I was struggling to answer. I didn’t want to insult this person. I didn’t want this leader to feel like I was condescending.

Many organizations today claim to be customer-centric. Customer-centricity and claiming to have transformed a business from one that previously focused primarily on products and services and now into one that values customers and customer experience above all else is a concept growing in popularity.

Growing up on a tobacco farm in Canada, summers weren’t a time for fun in the sun — they were a time for sweat and hard work! And while everyone in the family pitched in, no one had more to do than my mom. Each summer, Mom cooked three meals a day for a dozen burly, ravenous farm workers—plus our own family of six. On top of all the meal prep, cooking and clean-up, she also had to take care of a huge garden, tons of animals and four kids — leaving her with little time for grocery shopping.

Maybe that’s the reason I’m so focused on creating amazing experiences for my clients and my clients’ customers—and, of course, everyone else.
