Form closer, more rewarding relationships built on trust and respect. Gain ways to project an upbeat and contagious attitude, discover ways to manage stress and minimize worry, encourage positive thinking, and commit to continuous improvement.
Expect Certified Trainers:
The trainers are highly vetted and undergo an intense training that is ISO9002 certified to achieve consistent results globally. While part of a global organization, they are connected to your local culture, customs and language. The participants in this course are made up of both formal and informal leaders. Psychological safety is emphasized to create a safe place to try out new skills and ideas.
Expect Personal and Professional Breakthroughs:
Each time a new skill is introduced in the course, it is practiced the ‘right’ way and coached in the moment before moving it out into your life and work. Once a skill has been tested with team members and others, the group holds itself accountable by reporting back on what did or did not work. This social learning approach makes it possible for everyone to learn from each other’s efforts. By experiencing a series of successful attempts with positive reinforcement, habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained.
Why You Want To Learn It
Start with Self. Connect with Others. Enhance Teamwork. Influence Change.
These elements are woven together throughout the Dale Carnegie Course®, enhancing both the mental change and the behavior change needed to achieve your goals and affect performance change within your organization and beyond.
Start with Self: Every change begins with the self. Deepening our understanding of our natural tendencies as humans and our need for belonging helps clarify why it takes active work by each of us to change. Gaining insight into our attitudes, opinions and thoughts helps us identify and confront our fears. Building our resilience and self-confidence enables us to engage in honest exchanges with ourselves and others. As we gain empathy, we develop a genuine desire to create an environment of trust. To accomplish this, this course addresses the following session objectives:
- Discover how past experiences influence behavior
- Recognize the impact negative stress has on our results and effectiveness
- Commit to using concepts and principles to increase our ability to control stress and worry

- Become more open-minded to change and opportunity
Connect with Others: None of us works in a vacuum. The need to connect with others to build teamwork and influence begins with a genuine interest in others. Making strong connections is accelerated with the following session objectives:

Enhance Teamwork: Strong skills for creating accountability and gaining cooperation helps ensure that people are prepared to speak up, communicate persuasively, look for common ground, discuss difficult topics on which they may disagree, identify when trust is broken, and restore it successfully.

Why Empathy Is a Crucial Skill for Leaders
Empathy is not the same as sympathy—sharing someone’s emotions, generally by feeling sad about their circumstances. An empathetic approach is one of action. It’s understanding where that customer or employee is coming from and taking steps to correct problems or pain points. Sympathy will not elicit the same outcome as empathy. Read More >
