Gemma Colby, the Head of Customer Experience at YELL UK, joins Clare Muscutt on the Inspiring Women in CX podcast to talk about her route into CX, recognising only in retrospect that she’d been doing it all along, putting theory into practice as she ran a contact centre, her own experiences with great leaders and how these shaped her approach and, in her opinion, the key skills and capabilities necessary to be a successful CX leader driving changes and improvements that impact the business’s bottom line.
 
Listen in as Gemma talks about...
? Being ‘predestined’ to work in CX, realising only in retrospect that she’d been doing it all along
? Starting out in operations and wielding her passion for people to make customers feel special
?‍♀️ Combatting her Imposter Syndrome and redefining what success “should” look like
? Adopting a growth mindset and how creating a sense of “interconnectedness” is key to being a great (CX) leader
? The importance of trusting ourselves and recognising what “drives and drains us”
