A quick stop at the deli counter turned into a powerful lesson in IT customer service.
In this video, I share what a grocery store employee named Bev taught me about the true meaning of customer care and service—and why her mindset is exactly what we need in IT.
Whether you’re an IT technician, engineer, or manager, this story will challenge you to think differently about your role. It's not just about fixing systems—it's about supporting people.
I also break down the 5 core principles from my book, The Compassionate Geek: How Engineers, IT Pros, and Other Tech Specialists Can Master Human Relations Skills to Deliver Outstanding Customer Service:
1. Technical competence
2. Compassion
3. Empathy
4. Good listening skills
5. Treating others with dignity and respect
If you work in IT, this video will help you build stronger relationships, improve user interactions, and lead with intention—especially in high-pressure environments.
