Dale Carnegie - Lessons for Success
Going to a seminar where you learn to read and better understand financial statements could be of great value to you and your business. Or a class where you learn about social media and how you can leverage Instagram and LinkedIn for better results, that would be valuable.
How about a course that would provide these outcomes: 1) Build Greater Self-Confidence, 2) Strengthen People Skills, 3) Enhance Communication Skills, 4) Develop Leadership Skills, and 5) Reduce Stress and Improve Our Attitude? For over a century, the Dale Carnegie Course has provided training on human relations and communications. While the training techniques have evolved over the years, the training remains true to the key concepts which are common sense, but not common practice. They are concepts that allow the participants to find value in other people and in themselves. The mindful practice of Mr. Carnegie’s principles builds skills in these five drivers of success, benefiting the participants personally and professionally.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain knowledge, network with fellow members, and take actionable insights back to your business. Reserve your spot today!
