Programme overview
This world-renowned programme is based on more than 100 years of experience. It proves that real growth and change can occur with solid principles and practice, supported by consistent coaching. Underlying Dale Carnegie programmes are the 30 human relations principles – the distilled wisdom of Dale Carnegie's famous book 'How to Win Friends and Influence People,' one of the most popular personal and professional development books of all time.
These time-tested principles will help individuals of all ages build relationships with others by focusing on the needs, concerns, and interest of other people. Through the use of relationship dynamics, intra-group activities, role-playing, and time-spaced learning, participants master the capabilities needed for the modern world. They learn to strengthen interpersonal rapport with others, manage stress, and handle fast-changing environmental conditions. They become persuasive communicators, creative problem-solvers, and confident, enthusiastic leaders. Over the course of 8 weeks, participants learn how to zero-in on the important priorities in their life, whilst receiving the support they need to implement practical tools that enable personal and professional growth. Our graduates report breakthroughs in these areas:
Communication - become clear, concise, and persuasive:
Many people enrol in this programme because they want to improve their ability to speak in front of groups. They learn that communication starts with listening. When we become active listeners, our one-on-one communications improve. Through practice we become more clear and concise, and able to capture and hold people's attention, whether one-on-one or in front of a group.
People skills and human relations:
People skills are an essential ingredient for business and personal success. The principles in How to Win Friends and Influence People are the foundation for building better relationships, getting enthusiastic cooperation, handling conflict, and changing attitudes and behaviours.
Controlling stress and developing a positive attitude:
Are you being asked to do more with less, produce at a higher quality and lower cost, do it faster with fewer resources? You're not alone. Keeping a positive attitude under this new reality is not a case of reacting to circumstances; it is a result of a decision. You can choose to put stress in perspective and not let worry steal the time and energy you could instead be using productively.
Leadership skills - get willing cooperation:
Leadership has always been and always will be about influence. No matter your title or your position, you have the ability to positively influence others on the job, in the home, in the sports arena, and in your community. Our graduates rise to the opportunity for leadership and learn how to create an environment that results in willing cooperation from those they influence.
Building self-confidence:
We offer no magic pills. We do offer the observation, based on more than 100 years of experience, that our graduates develop more self-confidence. Throughout the active learning process, participants discover how to communicate more effectively, build better relationships, lead others in a positive direction, control stress and have a positive attitude. When these skills are developed, self-confidence is an inevitable result.
