You’ve probably heard stories about large companies having their data hacked. These thieves steal customer and employee information like name, address and Social Security numbers.

Sometimes I Want To Give Up On Parenting
The wind is blowing my hat towards my cheek, and I can hear my children laughing with their daddy. It is an absolutely breathtaking day on Miami Beach, and I feel like crying. My mind is flooded with negative thoughts: I’m a bad mom because I won’t play with them in the water and my children’s memories of fun times will always include mom on the sideline watching them looking serious.

Customer Experience: It’s All In The Details
I’ve been doing some research into hidden costs of project management which led me to thinking about the hidden costs of a poor customer experience and what happens when process becomes king, trumping the customer experience. Let me start by telling you about the experience I had that I’m relating to.
I decided to start a trial of some software. Like so much software today, it’s cloud based, there’s a monthly subscription and I was given a one month free trial. I won’t say who as I don’t really want to bad mouth them, I don’t think they are a bad company, they’re just falling prey to their process!
