On today's episode of the Creating Superfans podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by a fellow woman in CX, Stacy Sherman. Stacy is an award-winning keynote speaker, author, advisor, and podcaster focused on Doing Customer Experiences Right as a brand differentiator.

Stacy has held multiple leadership roles at major companies over the past 25 years, such as Liveops, Verizon, Wilton Brands, AT&T, and Schindler Elevator. She brings real-life examples and customer service experience best practices from being in the trenches as a strategist and practitioner. You'll hear us talk about the impact that a job title can have on an employee's performance, how you can teach empathy to your team, and the importance of recognizing and celebrating your customers' and your employee's birthdays.
