Whether speaking on customer service, leadership, personal power or performance, Petra’s skilled stage presence comes, in part, from her experience working as a performer in Las Vegas with such stars as Elvis Presley, Tina Turner and some of the most recognized names in the world.
Soon after we arrived and had gotten her settled, a woman in bright scrubs
came into the room, acknowledged us, then moved purposefully toward Junnis,
extended her hand and said with genuine warmth, “Hello, Junnis, welcome to
our community. My name’s Catherine and I’ll be taking care of you this
evening.” Junnis smiled and nodded.
Catherine continued, “Well, I just have to tell you! You have the cutest haircut!”
My aunt giggled shyly. Catherine then put her hand on Junnis’s shoulder and
said, “You look like you like to have fun! I can’t wait to get to know you!”
We looked at each other and smiled because we knew we could spend the
night relaxing at the hotel. Junnis was going to be okay. Catherine
had seen her. Not just “another old woman with Parkinson’s,” but a person…a
person with a “cute haircut!”
After writing customer-service training programs for some of the most recognized companies in the country, I realized there was one more to write.
So, I wrote See ME: Person-Centered Customer Service Training to ensure all of
the Junnis’s living in skilled-nursing and assisted-living communities will have
‘Catherines’ who see them as the unique individuals they are on their final
journey home.
