ABOUT AFSHAN KINDER

I have 30+ years of experience in Telecom, Utilities, Financial Services, Packaged Goods, E-Commerce and Technology, working across all communication channels in contact centers, retail and ‘in field’ sales and service. My expertise in sales, service, leadership and coaching uses blended learning strategies on my e-learning platform. Examples of these strategies include customized virtual learning and a combination of video and audio conferencing, assignments, case studies, testing and one on one coaching. The final goal is to always ensure each individual is successful at building skill. I take pride in designing customized innovative training and coaching approaches using a range of mediums from virtual to physical to suit the content the client desires. The focus is not all about training and coaching, it is to realize high adoption and sustainability of behavioural change. I\'m a self-proclaimed ‘student for life’, I\'m passionate about learning and applying what I learn. What truly makes the difference to me is results – not just hard results like higher customer satisfaction or increased revenue but employee and leader satisfaction as well. In my \'spare\' time (I use that loosely) I am a council member at GTACC, a proud member of the International Coaching Federation, and a contributing author to 3 books, Call Centers FOR DUMMIES, Game Changing Ideas: 10 Years of SwitchGear Insights and Amazon Kindle best-selling book Called to Action.
