Hosted by Women in CX Founder and CEO Clare Muscutt, tune in as we share real-talk conversations between women working in Customer Experience and those influencing the CX agenda from the periphery too. No longer rehashing the same old conversations, you can expect provocative discourse, increasingly meaty topics, and of course, plenty of debate as we seek to challenge the CX status quo and unleash the power of women to lead the way ahead – ensuring we don’t lose that human touch!

Does culture eat strategy when it comes to customer service transformation? 🤔
Joined by Leonie Williams, Co-Founder of Customer Service Solutions Group, in episode #708, we explore the role of culture in delivering excellent service and experiences. 🤝
Having worked for global hotel chains Hilton and Intercontinental before joining the Institute of Customer Service, Leonie states that “If you get the EX and the CX right, the business results follow.” 📈
But for businesses that don’t have this customer service culture already embedded throughout, is it really possible to drive this mindset shift? 🧠
And if so, how?
Emphasising the importance of the “tone from the top”, focusing on systems and processes to facilitate customer orientation (or whatever you want to call it), and questioning whether actually, culture change is too heavy a burden to bear, listen to the full episode now.

If empathy isn’t the answer, what is? 🤔
Joined by Andreena Leeanne, a Lived Experience Speaker and the Author of the poetry book ‘Charred’, in episode #704, she and Clare explore the concept of intersectionality and its importance when creating spaces for others to show up as their full, authentic selves, discuss whether it’s truly possible to empathise with someone whose lived experience is different to that of our own and foreground why “not seeing” race, colour, and gender isn’t enough if we’re to create a kinder, more inclusive world for everyone. ❌

“What do you need Women in CX for?” 🤷♂️
In episode #703 of the Inspiring Women in CX podcast, we’re not prancing around…
Joined by Global CX Specialist, Ian Golding, he and Clare discuss the need for support and collaboration in an industry that often leaves us feeling isolated, foreground the importance of recognising our own privilege, and address the scepticism surrounding the need for women’s communities in 2024.
As well as explaining why we can’t wait for the day that Women in CX doesn’t have to exist, Ian shares his thoughts on today’s “highly political and divisive” CX landscape, whether current CX competencies are a rod for our own back, and ponders the question “In its current state, is CX on the road to extinction?”. 🤔
