Caren Jablonsky, Crisis Mobile Team first responder

I have worked in the mental health field for over thirty years with a specialty in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care. I have also worked with foster children. I first became interested in counseling when I was thirteen years old because my best friend had parents who both had an alcohol dependence issue and I realized that I had a high level of empathy and ability to actively listen to my friend’s issues. Over the years, I have combined my love of psychology with nutrition and have assisted people in working through mental health issues to forge a healthier way of eating.

About the Business:

I work for a “health home” that provides crisis mobile team services as well as ongoing behavioral health services including a community re-entry program for people who have been incarcerated.

Wayne Satten, Clinical Psychologist

Wayne Satten runs a Private Therapy Practice here in Tucson.

I enjoyed a wonderful upbringing in Los Angeles. After high school, I went east to Philadelphia to attend college and graduate school. I returned to Tucson in 1988 and I’ve lived here ever since. I’ve been a clinical psychologist for my whole career and I’ve primarily provided individual psychotherapy to adults. I’ve always enjoyed the friendships that I’ve established here in Tucson and I’ve maintained a close circle of friends, several of whom I also run and walk with on a regular basis. I’m also an avid baseball fan. I have a huge collection of baseball cards and I’ve been a Dodger fan for my whole life.

DELIVERING SEAMLESS CLIENT EXPERIENCES IN A CHANGING LANDSCAPE

  Holly O’Neill, Chief Client Care Executive

As we look forward to National Customer Service Week, it is important to understand how clients and companies are both redefining the client experience. My guest for this show is Holly O’Neill, Chief Client Care Executive, Bank of America,

Right now, as client expectations continue to shift and face-to-face interactions are limited, it’s essential for businesses to find new ways to create positive experiences. Companies have had to pivot quickly or improve upon their existing client care models to create more meaningful and personalized experiences in order to meet clients’ changing needs. This has meant anticipating changing client needs, delivering a consistent client experience across all channels, and continuing to offer a balance of digital tools and in-person services.

Adapt your company’s client care approach during moments of need, moving quickly and effectively
Create personalized solutions for each client need
Incorporate digital solutions into your company’s client care strategy
Utilize multiple streams of feedback to listen to clients and adjust the client care strategy
Identify and determine what clients should expect from their financial institution during this time and beyond

Holly O’Neill is the Chief Client Care Executive and leads Consumer, Small Business & Wealth Management Client Care at Bank of America.

Her team provides financial solutions to more than 66 million clients each year, with a focus on delivering exceptional and distinctive client care with each interaction.

Jami Amidon is an intuitive, innovative, creative real estate professional who’s known for bringing joy and peace of mind to the sometimes stressful business of home buying and selling.

While Jami’s real estate career formally started in 2001 when she served on the lending side of transactions, she now serves the residential real estate community in the Raleigh, NC, area.

Looking back, it’s easy to see the passion for the idea of home — how to find it, create it, and enjoy it — showing up throughout Jami’s life.

Her first business, which she started in Texas when she was only 18, was a bridal registry gift shop. That led her to start a catering business with clients straight out of the Who’s Who of that oil town community, including Sen Phil Graham, T Boone Pickens, and Gov Bill Clements.

Later, Jami established a home accessory boutique in Tucson, bringing a fresh approach to the southwest market. Featured in local and national publications, Jami’s shop served clients across the country and ranks high on her list of favorite things she’s ever done!

Working as a real estate advisor to both buyers and sellers represents a natural evolution for Jami, and her business acumen and savvy are part of what has her so competent and sought-after when it comes to real estate transactions. Jami’s high-touch, concierge approach not only ensures people get matched up with spaces and environments that bring joy to their daily lives, but also that they actually enjoy the experience along the way.
