Some of the Brands Myra Has Trained

 

Meet Myra

Long-time customer service and de-escalation expert Myra Golden is in high demand as a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. Her expertise and ability to move audiences to action make her an ideal choice for customer service events and as a conference and convention keynote speaker. 

Customer Service Guru

I took Myra's LinkedIn class. I've been answering calls and working with call centers for 18 years. I was surprised to find that Myra's teaching corresponds and adds to my experience, also codifies call control and de-escalation. I recommend Myra's training to anyone wanting to learn the skills needed to be a professional call center representative or learn to deescalate and handle difficult calls.

Her clients love Myra’s engaging approach to customer service training. Many of her clients rave about her workshops, saying things like:

“I was very pleased with Myra’s presentation. But even more so, I was left with a sense of new energy and desire to put her recommendations to use. I can’t wait for Monday!” –– TIM O’LAUGHLIN, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY

Myra has her bachelor’s degree in psychology and her master’s degree in human relations, which she earned from the University of Oklahoma.

Before the start of Myra Golden Seminars—which came to be in 1999—Myra worked at Thrifty Car Rental as the Global Head of Consumer Affairs. Travel Agent Magazine hailed Myra a Top 100 Rising Star for leading her team to unprecedented customer recovery and customer loyalty in the hospitality industry.

When she’s not lighting up the service world, Myra is likely reading a book that makes her see differently, sipping Ethiopian espresso, or riding her Peloton.

Fun Facts About Myra

  • Her first job was at Kmart.
  • When she was 17, Myra complained about poor service at JC Penney and offered suggestions on how the store could improve, and the store manager offered her a job on the spot!
  • She ran the Disney Princess Half-Marathon
  • On average, she rides 30 miles a week on her Peloton.
  • She lives in Tulsa.
  • You might be surprised to learn that Myra is an introvert. She loves to spend time alone reading, self-analyzing, and visualizing. She turns down most social invitations but loves hiking, earthing, and moon bathing.
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars were the worst team in the NFL for back-to-back years. Immediately after Myra trained the Jaguars Guest Experience Team in November 2022, the football team made it to the playoffs and won their division. We like to think Myra's training made all the difference!
