Coaching shouldn't feel like micromanagement. It should feel like momentum.

In this session, Justin Robbins breaks down why most coaching efforts underperform—and how contact center leaders can flip the script. Drawing from 20+ years of CX and ops leadership, he shares a modern coaching playbook built for today's teams.

Attendees will learn how to focus on meaningful performance signals (not just QA scores), create coaching rhythms that scale, and turn feedback conversations into culture-shaping moments.

If you're serious about improving performance, engagement, and retention—this is the session to attend.
