A little background:
Dr. Joseph Michelli has spent the majority of his life helping people be of greater service to one another. This passion for service has driven him to write many books relating to elevating human experiences and bettering the world, one person, one leader, and one organization at a time. His professional journey as a customer experience consultant, combined with his doctorate in systems psychology, have formed the perfect combination of human experience and professional vision.
Joseph’s bestselling business books profile “world class” companies like Zappos, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Pike Place Fish Market and UCLA Health System.
In Leading the Starbucks Way, Joseph explains how leaders at this famous coffee company continue to refine and expand the optimal cross-channel experience. He further explains how Starbucks navigated through the challenges of the global recession mounting a remarkable surge in profitability without wavering from core values and mission.
Leading the Starbucks Way exemplifies a corporate culture that is passionate about product, employees (referred to at Starbucks as partners), customers, and global sustainability. Through tactical strategies (involving global expansion, innovation of new consumer goods that fit active customer lifestyles, and an engaging approach to social media and mobile technology), Starbucks continues to forge strong and engaging experiences with existing and new customer segments.

Thanks Dr. Michelli for the valuable insights and being so open.
So many doctors on the screen!
Seriously though, what an amazingly deep interview.
Understanding how to inspire employees or contractors is huge… also it was really interesting to see the ongoing mindset of a successful author.
Thanks Alex! Yes, Dr. Michelli was so open about his life and mindset. I agree that inspiring others and ourselves is huge.
what do you find that works for you when inspiring others?
I tend to tell myself a story of someone with similar circumstances or even worse that overcame that specific challenge or achieved that outcome. If someone had it worse off then me then I cannot keep harboring any excuses for myself.
That’s definitely a tactic I can relate with as far as personal inspiration.
As far as inspiring others, I’m not the best… but I think really talking with them and finding out what makes them excited is the best tactic. Everyone wants to do more of what they love
Agreed. Great point Alex. Find out what excites people and what they love to do and have them do more of that..thanks for the reminder.
