Text us your questions and thoughts!In this episode, I am talking to Shirley Chapman – Senior Director of Customer Success at Pluralsight. She started her career as a teacher and combined that experience with leadership and technology to find herself in Customer Success Role. Teaching and coaching are still at the very core of who she is. As previously with students, Shirley is now focusing on helping customers be the very best they can be. We spoke about diverse backgrounds for customer success, listening to your customers, the power of mentoring and the art of receiving and asking for feedback in career development. One of my favourite leanings is Shirley’s reference to her teaching strategies: "As a teacher, you need to know where you push people a little bit out of the comfort zone, where you might challenge them along and sometimes where you have to back off, and I think it's the same with customers as well.
