Read more →Our customer service workshops in Brisbane are designed to help teams communicate better, stay composed under pressure, and take ownership of their work, even when things get tough.
These aren’t generic programs. Each session is tailored to your organisation — your culture, your industry, and the real challenges your team faces every day. We focus on practical tools and small, meaningful behaviour changes that make a difference in every customer interaction.
Participants are encouraged to reflect on how they work, practise new approaches, and break habits that get in the way of great service. The outcome is a team that feels more confident, communicates more clearly, and takes responsibility for results.
The workshops are led by Giles Watson, who has over 20 years’ experience in professional services and holds two Master’s degrees. He brings together real-world insight and academic knowledge, with programs delivered successfully to councils, corporate teams, field-based services, and professional organisations across Australia.
Whether your team works in healthcare, construction, professional services, retail, finance, logistics, or government, our Brisbane customer service course transforms service from a reactive task into a strategic benefit.
Available face-to-face or live online, with flexible formats to suit team size and business requirements.
Get in touch for an obligation-free discussion about your goals and desired outcomes. We will walk you through how the training works, explore customisation options, and help you identify the right structure for your organisation. Whether you are reviewing current service challenges or planning proactively for growth, we will clarify what is achievable through focused customer service development.

This course is all about helping people in Brisbane get better at what they do every day. No fluff, no long lectures — just practical skills that make work run more smoothly, cut down on complaints, and let everyone take responsibility without feeling micromanaged.
Managers and supervisors focus on leading by example, staying calm when things go off track, and helping their teams develop habits that really stick.

Customer service and call centre staff focus on staying patient, empathetic, and consistent, even on tough days. Frontline and hospitality teams learn how to make great first impressions and sort out issues quickly. And government and council employees get practical guidance for providing confident, professional service to the public every day.

Giles Watson runs CX Training. He’s spent more than 20 years working with teams and leaders across professional services and consulting, so he’s seen it all, both the day-to-day challenges on the front line and the ‘bigger picture’ that managers and executives have to deal with.
Giles focuses on helping teams communicate more effectively, handle complaints without stress, and build strong customer relationships. He’s just as comfortable running a workshop online as he is in person, and he always aims for the same thing: teams walking away confident and ready to put what they’ve learned into practice.
