In this episode of Happy to Help, we dive into the pressure-filled world of customer support and why it’s time to shift from frantic reaction to intentional response. Learn how operating from a place of calm not only reduces mistakes but leads to better customer experiences, stronger team morale, and reduced burnout.

With real-world examples of how urgency can derail even the best support intentions, this episode is packed with strategies to help you:

  • Recognize the hidden costs of urgency in the inbox
  • Build a calm support culture even when customers are in crisis
  • Train your team to slow down without sacrificing service
  • Model healthy leadership that prioritizes quality over speed
