Meet Stan Phelps, CSP®
Through keynote speaking presentations, hands-on workshops, and GOLDFISH TANK programs, I empower you to power loyalty and growth.
I work with organizations that want to increase loyalty, drive sales, and promote positive word-of-mouth by creating differentiated experiences.
As an author, keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator, my in-person and virtual programs stand out in a sea of sameness because I model my own message of differentiated experience (DX).
I leverage my unique collection of more than 5,500 case studies on customer, employee, and brand experience to engage audiences with practical ideas that inspire action.
My informative, learning-based experiences create IMPACT using my proven I.D.E.A. model of:
- sharing new concepts to uncover INSIGHTS
- DEMONSTRATING those concepts through proven examples
- facilitating EXERCISES focused on your current challenges
- APPLY the learnings to your business
My goal is to empower audiences to take action that delivers bottom-line results. I believe purposeful DX wins the hearts of employees and customers, and differentiation ultimately boosts loyalty, referrals, and results.

Differentiation isn’t just about what you say, it’s about what you do and, more importantly, how you do it and why you do it.
Your brand today is no longer what you tell people it is.
Your brand is the differentiated experience (DX) your employees deliver.
Your brand is what you stand for and how your customers feel about you.
Your brand is what your customers and employees tell others about their experience.
What does your brand experience say about you?
