With all the technology available to us to communicate such as e-mail, voice mail and fax among many others, what do you think is still the most important connection?  It’s the human connection!  To achieve success in today’s business environment where the emphasis is on collaboration, teamwork, motivation and leadership, we all need to perfect our ability to build relationships. The acknowledged pioneer of human relations, Dale Carnegie, wrote the book How to Win Friends and Influence People. 24 million readers of his book have discovered how to reach their goals by helping others reach theirs.  In this workshop, you will learn these principles, practice them and commit to using them in your life.

• Become familiar with Dale Carnegie’s foundation principles for improving human relations

• Learn a process to commit these tools to memory

• Discover some simple tips to focus on the positives in others, become more genuinely interested in people and heighten your listening skills

• Develop more effective behavior for approaching others

• Take an inventory of your professional and personal relationships to discover where improvement will have the greatest impact

• Devise a plan of action to maximize the use of the human relations tools learned
