Why Now?
Canadian Business Leaders are Facing Volatile Times
Across Ontario, the Maritimes, and beyond, Canadian business leaders are navigating constant disruption — shifting labour markets, supply chain instability, changing customer behaviour, and increased uncertainty in relationships with key trading partners.
The market’s moving fast. Most new leaders aren’t.
Without strong frontline leadership, senior teams get pulled into firefighting, morale dips, and growth stalls. But when you build capable leaders quickly — and build them right — you unlock accountability, trust, and results.
This Lead with Impact experience was designed to meet that exact challenge. It combines Dale Carnegie’s proven principles with modern tools and measurable ROI — giving you leaders who are ready to deliver, not just survive.
Leadership Transformation Begins Within
The Dale Carnegie development experience is not just about learning. Its about building the mental toughness and focus to accelerate your career and inspire teams to new levels of performance.
Our methodology cultivates the right mindset. We equip you with the right tool set. Practice with personalized coaching/feedback over our time spaced approach will produce new skills, habits and breakthrough

How it Works
A three-phase leadership transformation experience by Dale Carnegie
Preparation to Lead with Impact
“The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” —Walt Disney
The moment you register for Lead with Impact, your transformation begins.
In Phase 1, you’ll create a personalized Leadership & Business Impact Plan that sharpens your focus, defines your leadership value, and aligns your strategy with real business outcomes.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: DISC Personality Assessment
Discover how you lead, how you influence, where you shine, and where you might be holding yourself (and others) back.
Why it matters: Leaders who understand themselves lead others better. They communicate with impact, build trust faster, and make smarter decisions.
Step 2: Outcome-Based Job Description
Most leaders inherit a title. You’ll create a vision. Together, we’ll map out what excellence looks like in your role—not just tasks, but results. You’ll define the key result areas, performance standards, and strategic priorities that matter most to your business.
Step 3: Strategic Focus & Action Plan
You’ll walk away with a laser-focused plan:
• What results you’re responsible for
• What “great” looks like in your role
• How your style can either support or sabotage those outcomes
• And what you need to do starting today to lead with purpose, not guesswork
Step 4: Galvanize the Plan
Review and refine your leadership strategy and business impact plan with the support of a Dale Carnegie Coach and your key stakeholders at work.
In these conversations we will refine the plan, deepen understanding to create alignment, energy and momentum. The Dale Carnegie Coach will point to areas of focus in the Leadership Boot Camp and online Leadership Lab.
Phase 1 of the Lead with Impact experience will give you clarity that most leaders spend years chasing.
You’ll know exactly where to focus your time, energy, and development. And your organization will see it too. Start now. The leadership your team needs doesn’t begin at the boot camp—it starts here.
“Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.”
— Simon Sinek
What Happens?
In Preparation for Next Phases
The onboarding phase prepares participants for the next steps:
- Three-Day Boot Camp: Participants engage in intensive boot camp style practice and coaching exercises designed to enhance leadership skills, foster teamwork and elevate influence.
- 12-week Online Leadership Lab Modules: Following the boot camp, participants will delve into structured live online Instructor lead modules focusing on specific leadership competencies, applying insights gained from the onboarding phase to real-world scenarios.
This structured approach ensures that each participant maximizes their learning and development throughout the Lead with Impact Program, creating a meaningful impact within their teams and organizations.
Three Days That Change Everything
The Dale Carnegie Immersion – Core of the Leadership Boot Camp
In a marketplace defined by volatility, labor shortages, and sky-high expectations, most organizations are feeling a leadership performance gap—not from lack of effort, but from a lack of equipped, confident leaders. This immersive three-day Leadership Boot Camp closes that gap, fast.
Over three high-energy, practical, and transformational days, participants experience the globally proven Dale Carnegie Immersion—a hands-on leadership journey rebuilt for today’s business realities.
What Happens Over the Three Days?
This is not a “sit back and listen” event. It’s a full-contact leadership experience. Real-world leadership challenges are practiced in the room. Participants are coached in the moment, supported by their peers, and pushed to discover what they’re truly capable of.
ROI That Starts on Day One
The results don’t wait for a post-training survey—leaders start generating ROI before they even leave the room.
And that’s just the beginning.
You’ll Walk Away With:
- A leadership framework that drives performance
- A practical plan to immediately impact your business
- Renewed confidence, clarity, and purpose
- A powerful peer community of fellow change-makers
Extending the Impact: The Leadership Lab
While the three-day Boot Camp lays the foundation for transformation, the journey doesn’t stop there. Graduates can continue building momentum through our Leadership Lab—a curated series of high-impact, live-online sessions that deepen and apply the core principles introduced during the immersion. These hour-long modules reinforce critical leadership behaviors and give participants real-time tools to address the everyday challenges they face on the job.
Leadership Lab: Deepening the Learning
After completing the 3-day Leadership Boot Camp, participants continue their journey through our Leadership Lab—a curated series of 12 high-impact sessions designed to extend and apply the principles introduced during the Boot Camp.
These sessions go deeper on the real-world challenges leaders face every day—coaching, time pressure, strategic planning, engagement, and influence. Each session builds a specific leadership muscle that, when developed, makes leading simpler, more effective, and more rewarding.
To earn the Lead with Impact Certificate, participants must complete at least 6 of the 12 sessions. Those who complete all 12 will leave with a complete toolset for influencing results through people—plus a competitive edge in today’s leadership landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Dale Carnegie Training of Toronto and Maritimes
Lead with Impact
No. This program is for anyone who needs to drive results by influencing others—whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or you're a senior leader wanting to level up.
It meets new leaders where they are, giving them a strong foundation. But like any great Boot Camp, it also challenges seasoned pros to push their limits. This is not a rudimentary course—it’s a performance accelerator for anyone serious about growing influence and driving impact.
We’ve learned through 100+ years of experience that spaced learning—repeated over time—is the key to building lasting habits and results.
The 3-day in-person immersion builds emotional intelligence, confidence, and trust quickly. It gets people out of their comfort zones. The 12 weeks of follow-up coachingreinforce those breakthroughs and turn them into real-world action.
It’s the same principle as getting fit—you need an intense start and consistent training to sustain your gains.
Yes, it takes planning. But we suggest treating it like you would a vacation or short-term medical leave: plan coverage and set expectations.
What you get in return is a re-energized, confident leader who communicates better, influences more, and uplifts those around them. The short-term disruption yields long-term performance, retention, and cultural ROI.
If it was just 3 days, or just weekly sessions—it wouldn’t stick. That’s why we combine both: an intense in-person experience + spaced coaching for reinforcement.
Thousands of alumni still refer to the shifts they experienced 20 or 30 years later. Even if they forget the names of principles, the mindset, confidence, and capacity changes stay with them.
That said, like any high-performance system, it needs tune-ups. We recommend continued development over time to stay sharp and keep growing.
Thousands of past participants have said that within one year, Dale Carnegie training delivers at least 10x the value—in productivity gains, reduced stress, improved relationships, better retention, stronger sales, and more confident decision-making.
This program delivers deep, lasting change—not just a feel-good workshop or short-term motivation.
We highly recommend attending the full 3-day experience consecutively. It’s designed for maximum immersion and transformation.
However, if needed, our coaches can help you find alternative locations or create a modular delivery plan to accommodate your schedule.
Yes. We call this the Culture Reset Lab.
It can be customized to your goals, timing, logistics, and leadership levels. Our coaches will work with you to make it a high-impact, in-house experience for your team.
Once you register, you’ll complete:
- A detailed personal questionnaire
- A manager survey (if sponsored) to align goals
- A DISC assessment to understand your behavioral style
You’ll then schedule a 1-hour prep session with a coach to review your goals, challenges, and how to maximize your results.
We encourage involving your manager in this conversation—it strengthens alignment and accelerates impact.
Absolutely. Leadership is influence, and we influence people at work, at home, and in our communities—whether we realize it or not.
This program is designed for anyone who wants to build the mindset, skillset, and toolset to live more effectively, confidently, and intentionally—in every area of life.
Yes. Leaders and influencers today must be able to communicate effectively in one-on-one, small group, and large group settings—both in-person and virtually.
You’ll build confidence in your ability to impact any audience. While some people think Dale Carnegie is “just public speaking,” that’s only 1/5 of the focus. Communication is a key piece—but the transformation goes far beyond that.
