I’m currently taking the Dale Carnegie course in Hauppague, NY, but the course is the same regardless of where you take it. I’ll be finishing up the class this week. Basically, it’s a 12 week course that focuses on Dale Carnegie’s principles to better your relationships with other people, to speak well and to become a leader. Dale has written these two books: «How to Win Friends and Influence People» and«How to Stop Worrying and Start Living». This course is based upon principles in these two books. Reading these books is helpful, but the course really cements these principles in your brain. I’ve really bonded with the 14 other people in the class. I will truly miss them after next week when the course is over. My instructor made me really look forward to my 3 hour class on Wednesday nights, even though I had worked an full day and really would have wanted to go home. I can’t recommend this course enough to everyone. Over the course of the last 12 weeks, I have been able to get over my fear of speaking in front of people. I have become more clear when discussing concepts and not as nervous as I would have normally been. My relationships with my coworkers and my friends has improved a lot.
