I don't have my diploma from the University of Nebraska hanging on my office wall, and I don't have my diploma from Columbia up there either, but I do have my Dale Carnegie graduation certificate proudly displayed.

The Dale Carnegie gave me the most important degree I have, and it's why I'm successful today.

From industrial age to the AI age, we've helped people navigate every shift in between.
Human nature hasn't changed. Our methods have, every year since 1912.

What happens in the room

Three days. In-person. No theory. Practice, then feedback, then practice again.

Some of the themes participants work through:

Self-confidence

Step up with confidence,
whatever the situation

Build the confidence to take on moments that used to feel out of reach: new responsibilities, high-stakes rooms, or situations where you've laid back. Leave with an approach that's genuinely yours.

People Skills & Leadership

Win cooperation, with or
without a title

Relate to people who think and work differently to you. Build trust that lead to genuine cooperation, not just compliance. Develop the kind of influence that doesn't depend on your position.

Communication

Make your point land,
whatever the setting

Communicate with impact whether you're in a one-on-one, a team meeting, or in front of a larger room. Pracitce live, in a small group, with facilitator feedback every session.

Resilience & Attitude

Stay constructive when
things get hard

Manage stress before it manages you. Build the mental habits to hold focus when the day stops cooperating and stay sharp even when things don't go to plan.

Built for professionals at every level and stage

Experience level

What makes the Dale Carnegie Course unique is that it works for people of all backgrounds, industries, and levels, wherever they are in their career. The one thing everyone in the room has in common: they're ready for what's next.

How people get there

Some enrol themselves. Others are put forward by their organisation. Either way, the experience is the same: real conversations, real practice, and a small group of people working through the same things. That mix is part of what makes the conversations useful.

The most widely read book on human behaviour ever written.

The principles in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" have shaped the way millions of people approach communication, trust and influence.  

The Dale Carnegie Course takes those principles and builds them into something practical for real people in real time which we can use instinctively on a daily basis.

Why this program works

Participants seated at tables in a training room, facing presentation screens

It’s credible

Dale Carnegie is ranked among the top 20 leadership development companies globally, and this flagship course has been run publicly and inside major organisations worldwide since 1912. The methodology has been pressure-tested in real workplaces for over a century.

Facilitator addressing a group of participants standing in a training room

It’s practical

Every session follows the Performance Change Pathway, our methodology for moving people from awareness through experience into sustained behaviour. Participants bring real situations from work into the room, practise live with a certified facilitator, and leave doing things differently. A 30-day follow-up session keeps the new behaviour in motion.

It’s personalised

Participants work on real situations from their actual jobs, with guidance shaped to fit the person in the room. No two participants walk out with the same set of notes.

What participants are saying

The experience from the facilitator was excellent, engaging content and great real-life applications and workshops made it even better.

It was engaging, thoughtful, interactive. The facilitator met everyone where they were at and ensured we all stepped out of our comfort zones just a bit in order to grow and knew how to apply everything we were being taught. Shout out to Emily Lane!

I really enjoyed the collaboration aspect and enjoyed how it was eased into, rather than starting really strong. Good for people that are uncomfortable with being in group situations.
