Working With Global Teams
Have you ever been challenged to create and deploy a globalized, standardized training? How does one accomplish this successfully? It is imperative to be mindful of each country's cultures and language. It is also important to ensure that everyone involved in the training feels they've had some voice in building it.
How do you bridge language, colloquialisms, and ensure blended learning? Khristina Lazalde and Christi Anderson will be sharing their experiences working with global teams, lessons learned, and next steps.
About Our Presenter: Khristina Lazalde
Khristina Lazalde started her career in customer service at the age of 9, delivering newspapers, during which time she learned that "wow" service all comes down to where that paper lands. Her strong work ethic has guided her through numerous endeavors, including training, customer service, finance, legal, undercover investigation, fraud, sales, events, and finally back to customer service, training and quality control at Herbalife International.
A proud employee of Herbalife for over 19 years, Khristina excels as the Director of the Global Contact Centers' Training and Quality department. She also oversees a Global Customer Service Learning Initiative. This customer service learning program is the first launched in Herbalife's history. It includes: curriculum, training, leadership and agents certification, a quality program and, ultimately, survey (voice of the customers tied to reward and recognition). This training will be deployed in the 88 countries Herbalife serves. Lazalde is currently overseeing the first launches in Venezuela, Colombia, and parts of North America during September, with the launch in Brazil slated for October.
Khristina also has an extensive background in the film industry having worked in props, acting, producing, directing and writing screen plays. She trained at Theatre, Theater with Jeff Murray and Nicolette Chaffey, and won best screen play at the Hollywood Underground Film Festival for a short film submission. She is passionate about personal development and through her relationship with Jim Rohn has heard him speak on numerous occasions. She is a voracious reader. Developing new skills and personal growth is her favorite past time.
