I believe in brands that don't suck. And jokes that do. Let's make both happen.
Speaker on customer experience, customer centricity, and other mysteries.
New year, new me... said everyone, ever. Three days in and I'm already back to my old habits: procrastinating and overcaffeinating

It's that time of year when LinkedIn transforms into a bizarre hybrid of a motivational poster and a used car lot. Everyone's selling something. Mostly themselves

New Year's Day is for sweatpants, Netflix, and questioning if someone would notice if I don't keep my New Year's resolution

New Year resolutions are like believing in Santa Claus. It's nice but we all know the truth

New Year's Eve is like a giant reset button for humanity. We press it with hope and optimism... and then immediately trip over the same old rubbish

The holidays are a magical time for family, friends, and... completely abandoning all sense of portion control. Pass the mashed potatoes

Coughing, headache, fever, and an overwhelming urge to build a skyscraper in my backyard. Must be the Dubai Man-flu.

Here you can find the world's tallest building, the world's largest mall, and probably a vending machine that dispenses gold bars. It's that kind of place

Dubai's skyline is like a billionaire's playground: Extravagant, awe-inspiring, and makes you wonder what you're doing with your life

My physiotherapist asked me what I did for a living. I told him that "I'm into customer friendliness". He said that he didn't realize that that was a thing, and I'm pretty sure that my response to that shouldn't have been "Yes, I've noticed..."

The rebranding of Jaguar looks like open-heart surgery on a cheetah. It's fast, weird, and hopefully not fatal

These AI chatbots for customer service are like a magic 8-ball. Gives you an answer, but no clue how it got there.

AI is like a bad date. You're promised the world... and end up with a lukewarm coffee and a fake phone number.

Big data can't tell you everything. Sometimes, you need to get out of the spreadsheet and into the real world

Brands are obsessed with "personalization." But let's be real, they just want to know how much you'll spend before you even know yourself

Companies chase customer delight like it's the Holy Grail. But most customers would settle for a website that doesn't require a PhD in navigation and a customer service rep who's actually heard of empathy

On the other hand, customer feedback is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get... but it's usually a complaint.

Customer Experience is like a first date. You want sparks and hope you're not getting a restraining order.

“Automated mediocrity.”

That’s a proper name for the times we live in.

Hello? Is this thing on?

If anyone needs me, I'll be trying to decipher the latest customer feedback. It's either a cry for help or a recipe for banana bread. Jury's still out.
