Dale Carnegie, the Man
Who was Dale Carnegie? First you must understand who he was not. Dale Carnegie was not a man afraid to pursue his dreams. Dale Carnegie was not someone who was hesitant to roll up his sleeves, logging hours in his pursuit of personal growth. And most of all, Dale Carnegie was not a stranger to success.
What We Believe In
Carnegie recognized that many people, including himself, were held back by their fears, doubts, and the availability of learning resources. Eventually, he would use the Dale Carnegie Course as a forum to offer help to those with a natural fear of public speaking and other issues that plague the modern professional, thereby offering anyone who enrolls a new hold on life.
Vision
Our vision remains true to Dale Carnegie’s original dream; to impact as many lives as possible through the transformational, self-improvement experiences only we offer.
Values
We still believe in the principles and teachings of Dale Carnegie and will always conduct ourselves and our business ethically and with a profound sense of duty to human nature.
