There are many coaches out there who want to bring the best to their clients, but sometimes don’t get the call back. There are also new coaches who struggle with their developing brand and personality that they will show to the world. A great coach may have impressive skills, education and experience, but they also need to display industry knowledge and credibility.
There are currently some certification courses on the market that can assist with enhanced expertise in Life coaching, Business coaching, Leadership, Public Speaking and more. But when a coach decides to dedicate their craft to the enhancement of improving a client’s communication skills, it’s important to be able to confidently display that particular expertise.
NCCA Canada proudly offers Designation to any coach or trainer, and now, for those seeking Certification as a Communication Coach, has partnered with 3V Communications to offer a Communication Coach Certification course.
3V Communications has been in the communication skills coaching, training and assessments business since 2007, and has been offering coach certification since 2017. The executive team at 3V Communications recognizes NCCA Canada’s status as a growing non-profit, and will therefore donate 50% of the tuition paid by anyone taking the Communication Coach Certification course back to NCCA Canada. It’s good for 3V, for NCCA and for the coach. It’s a win-win-win. 🙂

I spent most of January 2023 in Japan. It was a business trip, but there was opportunity to travel as well, so I wasn’t stuck in Tokyo the whole time. I also visited Hakone, Nara, Kyoto and Yokohama. This was my fifth time being in Japan, and I got to see some new places (like the deer-filled streets of Nara), ate some different food (like the black eggs in Hakone), and met some new people. Do you know what DIDN’T change? What has never changed since I first started travelling to Japan in 2008? The super-high level of customer service and client care. It’s so consistent and it’s so refreshing. As a traveller, a visitor, it’s the best experience. People are so polite not just with their words, but with their non-verbal communication as well. Soft voice, respectful eye contact, small arm gestures, calm voice. Definitely a few things the West could learn from.
However even a rose has thorns. I’ll leave you with this counter-thought from a Tokyo guy: “yes the customer service in Japan is high level, but it’s scripted, it’s mandatory and therefore fake. The customer service you receive in Canada (or elsewhere) may not always be top-notch, but at least it’s genuine. When you receive great care in Canada, you know it’s 100% real, and it leaves a special feeling.”
Interesting point. So is the key to great customer service the overall experience, and ease, or is it the genuine heart of the experience? Maybe it’s simply how the experience and people involved made you feel.
Let’s talk Customer Service Experience! Join me Ric Phillips and Jason Agouris of iTristan Media Group as we delve deep into how we humans respond to customer experience, especially in a world of digital products for business. If you work in customer service, or run a small business, this video is for you, especially if you are (considering) using AI and chatbots to assist the customer experience.

Well what a nice surprise! I’m excited and honoured to be included in the prestigious Global Gurus Top 30 2022 under the category of Communication Professional, ranked #13. Strict criteria for selection includes being a published author, sharing original thought leadership pieces, and the public vote. I’ve been at this since 2006, and I am happy to receive this recognition. Thank you very much to all of my mentors, readers, clients and supporters. You are the best. 🙂
“How To Speak Bad English Perfectly” Interesting commentary on the business of ESL (English as a Second Language) including fixing ‘bad English’ grammar and pronunciation mistakes. Native English speakers are greatly outnumbered in the world, yet many non-natives are striving for ‘perfect’ English skills. I’ve always believed we can help ESL speakers speak ‘through’ or ‘with’ their accent, not reduce it completely. I also believe learning business focused idioms and slang will help speed up a learners’ comfort at the office (in addition to learning industry-specific vocabulary of course). Heather does not really agree with that last idea.
What do you think of her assumptions and suggestions?
