Buzios sits on a peninsula of twenty-two sparkling beaches where any day of the week you'll see beautiful people basking in the sun at popular spots or relaxing in the tranquil atmosphere at one of the peninsula's more secluded beaches.

Buzios started out as nothing more than a tiny fishing village on the Atlantic coast. Public curiosity increased in 1960 with the visit of French femme fatale actress Brigitte Bardot, who chose Buzios as a peaceful getaway. Since then, Buzios has made quite a splash on the international tourism circuit. Buzios continues to attract the elite Hollywood crowd today.

Despite its growing sophistication, Buzios still maintains the right amount of its fishing village roots, which lends itself a quaint, old world charm. The various dining and lodgings in the village create an atmosphere that is very special.

In Buzios, the best places to stay are called pousadas. A pousada is a type of bed-and-breakfast inn that is a refreshing accommodation option. The best pousadas are on the shores of the beautiful bay and are either located near the town center or right on the shore of one of its many alluring beaches.

American, Asian, Mexican and French restaurants are widely available in the center of town, on the Rua de Pedras. Many beaches offer little cabanas serving up refreshing cocktails and tasty regional and Brazilian food. Try the seafood maceca, a delicious broth with rice and shrimp.

To cap off all the attractions of Buzios, the village offers world-class art galleries, clubs, and of course, shopping. Fine boutiques offer the latest fashions from the world over.

Buzios can be enjoyed year-round, with the most popular time to visit being between September and April, during the Brazilian summer. From May to July, there are numerous beautiful sunny days, but the temperature is a bit cooler and there is a bit of a higher chance of rain. The busiest time in Buzios is around the New Year holiday and of course, Carnival.

Building a High Performing Team Culture

Camille Donatacci Grammer. The power of Team Culture is extremely influential on the performance of our Customer Service Team and the quality of Service we deliver to our Customers. Team Culture is THE most important influencer. In Customer Service, our goal is that each of our Customers will receive high quality Customer Service and an experience of us that will exceed their expectations on each and every call to our Organization. Each caller will have a memorable experience that will encourage him or her to return and to buy more.

To achieve this goal, we employ good recruits, train them well and pay a fair wage. Will this, then, ensure that this new Team Member will one day be capable of delivering excellent Customer Service? A better question might be, will the new Team Member even want to TRY to achieve a successful outcome for us and for our Customers?

The Power of Team Culture

The answer to this depends to a small degree on the person themselves. It depends to a much, much larger degree on the nature of the Team in to which they are placed – the Culture of that specific group. Within days of training, the group will be influencing this new person’s thinking. They will talk about their role and their Customers in a way that reflects the beliefs and values of their specific group. ‘These Customers are all stupid – they never listen properly’. ‘Customer’s are always blaming us, and it’s not our fault’. ‘Our products are not good and that’s why Customers are always upset.’

Each of these statements reflect a DIFFERENT type of Team Culture. Each Culture is identifiable and the people within that Culture will behave in a predictable way with their Customers - the Culture will determine the behaviour. In the cases above, each group will behave in a way that will definitely NOT lead to a positive Customer Service experience. For example, a Team that believes that they are the experts and that they are above these really stupid Customers will be aggressive and impatient with their callers. They will not apply skills with their Customers and they will be resistant to any training. This Aggressive Team believes that they are not the issue, it is the Customers who are the problem!

Other casual statements made by Team Members will quickly identify the Submissive Team Culture and the Passive Aggressive Team Culture. The interesting thing about Team Culture is that it is so influential. New recruits quickly believe that the Team’s understanding of the world is true and ‘common sense’. They adopt the beliefs and attitudes that support that specific Team Culture and this drives the norms of behaviour within the Team – what is Ok to do or not do within this group. If we want to change the Team performance – we need to change the BELIEFS.

The Beliefs of a Successful Customer Service Team

A high performing Customer Service Team has a very identifiable Team culture – the Assertive, Customer Focused Culture. They have a set of beliefs, attitudes and norms of behaviour that ENABLES them to perform exceptionally well with their Customers and motivates them to continuously improve. Remember Team Culture comes from the shared beliefs of the Team. We achieve this Assertive, Customer Focused Culture by identifying the desired beliefs, and by constantly building and supporting these beliefs within our Team Culture.

It is possible to change the culture of a Company or simply your own Team. We change the culture by working at changing the beliefs.

The essential beliefs are -

1. This is a GOOD Company – worth working for.

2. What we do as a Company is of VALUE to our customers. (including Exceeding Expectations)

3. Our Customers are important. External are most important. Internal are customers too.

4. We are ALL part of this Company – connected to a shared purpose.

5. Our Team Purpose is important – we have a vital contribution to make to our Shared Purpose.

6. My work has value – I make a difference - what I do is important to the achievement of our Team Shared Purpose.

7. Every Team Member belongs to this Team. Each has responsibility to achieve, to meet Team Leader expectations. Each has responsibility to manage & exceed Customer expectations.

8. Success is good - achievement is good.

9. To succeed we must get better and better – as individuals and as a high performing Team.

10. We are a good Team – and next month / year we will be a BETTER Team.

These beliefs are the key to success in Customer Service. If you are on a Management Team, encourage your Managers to work on improving one belief per month. Use the same method if you are a Team Leader. Get the Team involved by brainstorming HOW we can improve each belief. You will soon reap the benefits in terms of better performance, increased motivation and improved job satisfaction.

Why Golfers Need Rangefinders

Bikini. The recent Bushnell Golf Rangefinder commercial with the slow motion shot of Sergio Garcia hitting a tee shot over water while a Bushnell Rangefinder reticle is targeting the flag, sand trap, and the wooden water embankment in front of the hole is great. It’s a great commercial because it’s about time Bushnell started getting high profile golfers to promote golf equipment that actually help golfers lower their scores. While Titlist, Taylor Made, and the other golf club manufacturers focus on promoting the latest drivers, putters, and gimmicky clubs; rarely does a new club or new putter actually help an average golfer lower his or her score like a rangefinder can. This article lists 3 great reasons why the average golfer (handi-cap of 8 or higher) should always have a good rangefinder in the bag.

Good rangefinders are relatively inexpensive. I say relatively inexpensive because $200 to $400 may seem like a lot of money to spend on another golf gadget. Consider this: most golfers change drivers every three years, and buy new sets of irons every seven years. A $299 Bushnell Pinseeker Rangefinder should hold up for ten years. And for ten years, you get the benefit of accurate distance measurements to flags and other objects on golf courses that will help you play golf holes more intelligently. New drivers can run you anywhere from $200 to $500, while a new set of irons cost anywhere from $400 to $1500. If you do the math, these costs add up and make rangefinders a relatively inexpensive investment over the course of a ten year span. And remember that without a good golf swing, golfing intuition, and hand-eye coordination, those expensive hi-tech clubs won’t help you any more than a Spaulding starter set that goes for $199.

Golf Rangefinders can absolutely lower your score. Average golfers don’t have caddies. USGA rules also do not allow Rangefinders and other electronic measurement devices to be utilized during official tournament play. Sergio’s caddy, however, is allowed to walk the course each morning and pace off distances from the tees to anywhere he wants to and then write them all down. Caddies even use rangefinders to record these distances to save time while they are preparing for an event. By the time a PGA tour event starts, every golfer’s caddy has all distance measurements needed so that both he and the golfer are extremely prepared. In reality, Sergio Garcia wouldn’t even need a rangefinder if they were allowed. The rest of the golfing world (us) barely has time to squeeze in a round or two each week, and if we do-the only preparation we may have time for is studying the scorecard that includes tee yardages and distance measurements to holes, hazards, and dog legs. When we begin play, we rely on yardage markers. When you’re in between markers, however, a rangefinder will give you the exact yardage measurement so that you are not guessing between an 8 iron and 9 iron. It is these precise moments in a golf round where golf rangefinders can make the difference between coming up short and blasting it over the green. These area also the moments that that pars become bogeys, bogeys become double bogeys, etc.

Golf Rangefinders ARE allowed. USGA Rule 14-3 stipulates that under local rules, scores can be posted for rounds played while using a device that measures only distance; but NOT wind speed or ground slope. Take advantage of the rules. Golfing is both beautiful and unique in that imposes character on players by forcing them to be honest by adding penalty strokes and to not improve bad lies, etc. In this case, USGA rules recognize the difficulty that average golfers may have in measuring distances by allowing such instruments to assist them during a round. If the USGA says you are allowed to use golf rangefinders, you should use them. Putting it another way, if your ball ends up in casual water, would you NOT move it to drier ground? Of course not, because everyone knows that USGA rules allow you a free drop to dry ground provided your ball is no closer to hole. Knowing the rules and using them to your advantage is an integral part of golf.

Finally, good golf rangefinders really do work. They accurately range flags, trees, and other targets from up to 1,000 yards away; and to within +/- 1 yard of your targeted objects. They are also easy to use and are small enough to be kept in your pocket. I recommend trying the Bushnell Golf Medalist or the Bushnell Tour V2. Leupold’s Gx-1 and Gx-2 models have also received very good reviews by golfers. For a step up in price and performance, the Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker with up and down slope measurement is a great instrument. And if you and your friends can live with the USGA rule infraction, I recommend it; especially for courses being played for the first time.
