Aren’t we lucky to have the O’Callaghan’s in our club? They are great contributors on many fronts. John, our resident builder, is indispensable on practical Community projects and Roma never fails to deliver great programs on the Festival Community stage.
Another dimension was added when John chaired and Roma, the executive coach, told us about the Customer Experience Movement at Ford.
Her emphasis on the importance to Ford dealerships of common goals, meaningful engagement of team members, and the engagement of customers is equally relevant for our club. Lots of ideas to put into practice at our Fellowship and Committees night this week!
The Olympics may have drawn to a close, but not our memories of those characters who came to Rio in Eltham. Jim Philips, Ian Toohill and others captured the spirit with some great photos in this Bulletin. Inspired?

Speaker: Roma O’Callaghan presented on the Ford Consumer Experience Movement - what it is and how it is improving the $ bottom line through improving the engagement of all team members. Roma shared with us how improving team culture leads to greater customer loyalty and long term profits and how coaching of leaders helped to further develop essential people management skills. She left us all with a useful leadership coaching tool - valuable not only in the workplace but in our personal lives. Thanks Roma for presenting such a stimulating and thought-provoking topic.
