"Meaningful evolution in leadership"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Dale Carnegie Training helped with:

The first time I went through Dale Carnegie (and yes, I've done it multiple times), was on my own personal volition as I had heard enough positive things about it and I wanted to get myself ready for advancement in my professional career (and I succeeded in doing so thanks to the principles taught in this course). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dale Carnegie Training?

Dale Carnegie is more than just an inspiring seminar. The fact that the course is taught once a week across several weeks "forces" the participant to have ongoing, meaningful experiences that he/she then returns and shares with the class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dale Carnegie Training?

The only thing I dislike is that some of the shorter modules aren't as impactful as the full original course as they don't require a personal evolution as the principles are put into place week after week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dale Carnegie Training:

The top complaint you'll get from potential participants is that it takes too long (weekly commitment for ~2+ months). The answer is: yes it is a major commitment, and you'll be in a much better spot professionally for doing it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dale Carnegie Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

Learning to see from the other person's point of view has been the biggest benefit for me personally. Empathy is an overlooked soft skill but one of the key needs to build relationships and win friends/influence people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was a general manager at that time and working to improve overall business performance and advance my personal career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dale Carnegie Training?

I loved that it was not just hypothetical or just theoretical training. The principles were to be applied to real life and you saw the benefits in real time. This class helps overcome challenges that you are facing “today”. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dale Carnegie Training?

I truly didn’t find a downside except that I wanted it to go on forever. I felt I became better with each class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dale Carnegie Training:

You will get far more out of Dale Carnegie so don’t hold back. The principles and training can impact your life in such a positive way. It will not only help shape the world around you but the world within you as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dale Carnegie Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am truly able to apply the training and principles to my everyday life, personal and professional. What it does is gives me a format to analyze most issues and projects so that I have a plan to succeed and overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Living Life Better"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Dale Carnegie Training helped with:

Getting outside my comfort zone to better understand both the people & situations I find myself in on a routine basis. Speaking in front of a group, sharing with those whom which you know very little about, thinking more about others & the lives they live outside of your interactions with them; these were all things I learned that I feel are unique to Dale Carnegie training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dale Carnegie Training?

The core of it is as basic & true as the golden rule itself, treat others the way you would like to be treated. This is something I feel anyone can get behind because of it's simplicity & transparency, it teaches people how to interact with others & go about living their life in ways that are geared to elevating those of which that are around that person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dale Carnegie Training?

For me, the speaking in front of a group was certainly the most uncomfortable portion of the training, but I'm sure most people would say that so it should come as no surprise. Oddly most people I talked to in my training course thought I did great with my presentations, but I always felt like a nervous wreck every time so I didn't feel I ever did that good. The eight 4-hour sessions over 8-weeks was a little challenging too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dale Carnegie Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to significantly increase my ability to more effectively communicate with others by routinely showing more appreciation, asking more questions, holding back on any negative thoughts & just overall trying to be more patient. All of these little things when implemented on a daily basis yield sizable results where I find others more apt to respond in a timely manner, willing to help with much bigger tasks that I didn't even ask them to help with or just offering up to do favors because they want to show their gratitude for the gratefulness I've shown them.

"Outstanding Communications & Human Relations Training "

5/5

Describe the project or task Dale Carnegie Training helped with:

Public speaking was a huge part of my position. The experience and skills I learned through the Dale Carnegie program were invaluable in stepping up my ability to present to large audiences in a clear and effective manner. I came out of the training course with far more confidence, practical knowledge, and a better understanding of how to communicate with people one-on-one and in large groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dale Carnegie Training?

The Dale Carnegie training program is extremely personal. The class size is small and you have the ability to develop a relationship with your training coordinator. Overall, one of the best parts of the course was the ability to connect with people on a personal level in a smaller environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dale Carnegie Training?

Nothing to note other than the fact that small class sizes had their benefits, but could also potentially have benefited from combining with other courses as we began getting more comfortable with our teammates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dale Carnegie Training:

The skills I gained from Dale Carnegie were absolutely worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dale Carnegie Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

My enhanced ability to communicate directly and clearly one on one and my ability to present key information to large audiences allowed me to achieve two promotions within one year and reach a Director level position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
