Service is a Superpower:  Creating WOW Member Experiences
Louie Gravance 

Opening Keynote Speaker Sponsored by The Palm Beaches

When an employee asks, "What's in it for me," the honest and correct response is EVERYTHING. Your team members deserve to know that an investment OF themselves is an investment IN themselves.
When a WOW moment in customer service takes place, it doesn't happen only for the member/customer. Inspiring your team to make that connection is the single, greatest tool for maintaining a culture of excellence. Let’s explore what a WOW moment looks, sounds and feels like and why delivering one is good for everyone involved. Every member interaction is an opportunity to define, not just what you're willing to do, but what you're willing to be.

Louie Gravance is often referred to as “the guy that can make the Disney service concepts work outside of Disney.” From over 25 years at the Walt Disney Company, Louie enjoyed a distinguished career with Disney theme parks, designing everything from live-entertainment experiences to customer service training programs through the Disney Institute in Orlando Florida.
