James’ speaker programs are all designed to empower organizations to better their customer relationships to increase their success by connecting in “THE XCHANGE ZONE!”
What is the Xchange Zone?
As a former All-American Track & Field athlete, James learned many lessons on the track that helped him become successful in corporate America. One major lesson he shares with corporate groups, associations, and students is the importance of The Xchange Zone.
The Exchange Zone is a designated segment on the track where the baton must be exchanged between the incoming and outgoing teammates. If the baton is not exchanged in the zone or is dropped, the entire relay team will be disqualified.
Off the track, the Xchange zone is the critical area where you leverage the power of connecting. You never want to miss the exchange because that leads to disqualification. You must remain connected in order to win.
Any relationship can be successful when you remain in the Xchange Zone
To be successful in the Xchange Zone, there are several key factors:
- Knowing your role (starting, receiving, handing off, or finishing)
- Understanding the situation (and adjust accordingly)
- Committing to finishing (avoid disqualification)
- Recognizing the win (may not always be first place)
