Session 11 Review
“Dale Carnegie said, “The market is often glutted with technical ability. But the person who has technical knowledge plus the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership and to arouse enthusiasm in others, that person is headed for higher earning power.” He wasn’t just talking about earning money; he was also talking about earning respect, opportunities, and much more. Last session you showed us a glimpse of your true capacity to excel and achieve higher earning power.”
Session 11A Highlights: Be a Human Relations Champion
Issues Addressed
- What difference do changes in my behaviour have on the behaviours and attitudes of others?
- How can I move to the next level and beyond using Dale Carnegie’s Human Relations Principles?
Session 11B Highlights: Inspire Others
Issues Addressed
- Does emotion have a place at work?
- How can we be more persuasive and inspiring to others and ourselves?
Session 12 Preview
Session 12 is a commencement, not a graduation. Our accomplishments and achievements are indeed worthy of recognition. More importantly, our results over the last 12 sessions are the building blocks for creating an even better skill set for the future. In this session we recognize our breakthroughs resulting from this program. We will then inspire and motivate others by communicating our new, improved vision for the future and commit to continuous improvement
In preparation for Session 12, please:
1) Prepare a two-minute report on an incident that communicates your major benefit from this program. Bring Evidence of your breakthrough to support your use of the Magic Formula. Read page 12.4 of your Participant Manual and complete the Celebrate Achievements Report Planning Sheet on page 12.5.
2) Prepare a one-minute report on your vision 3-6 months beyond this training. Communicate specifically what is happening and what has changed (as if it is taking place right now). Complete the “Renew Our Vision Report Planning Sheet” on pages 12.6.
3) Come prepared to discuss examples of how you are applying the Dale Carnegie concepts (like your use of the Dale Carnegie’s Human Relations Principles or communicating with inspiration).
4) Be prepared to tell us what particular part of the readings listed below had an effect on you and why.
Reading Recommendations
- Dale Carnegie’s books are valuable resources for a lifetime of continuous improvement. Make a commitment to read them at least once per year. Also, carry the Golden Book with you and refer to it often.

What did people do with their metaphorical marbles this week?
We would love to hear your thoughts!!
We would love to hear your thoughts!!
Desiderata
Desiderata - by max ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann c.1920

Session 10 Review
Dale Carnegie Course®
Participant Weekly Action Reminder
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie
Congratulations Session 10 Award Recipients
- Rolf Otto of UBS – Breakthrough Award
- Ann Guidera (private) – Outstanding Performance Award
Session 10 Review
Thank you for your valuable insights in last night's session. In the last session, we learned from some of the top experts in the world about how to “Stop Worrying and Stop Living” while being agreeable even when disagreeing. Those experts were you!”
Session 10A Highlights: Disagree Agreeably
Issues Addressed
- How do we keep disagreements positive?
- How can we keep from being perceived as either a doormat or an aggressive person to avoid?
Session 10B Highlights: Manage Our Stress
Issues Addressed
- How can we keep from being victims of stress and worry?
- How can we keep focused on end results and keep our attitudes positive and goal-focused?
Session 11 Preview
Experts tell us that it takes about four weeks to change a habit. By now, we’ve had the chance to change and solidify our people skills and communications habits several times over. We are becoming unconsciously competent at higher levels than many of us thought possible just 10 sessions ago.
In preparation for Session 11, please:
1) For Session 11A, prepare a two-minute report on your application of any of the Human Relations principles during the course. This presentation is the cumulative product of all of your efforts to win friends and influence people. It should not be a repeat of a previously given report. Use the Magic Formula. Read pages 11.4-11.8 in your Participant Manual and complete the “Be a Human Relations Champion Report Planning Sheet” on page 11.9.
2) For Session 11B, prepare a two-minute report on a specific incident that had an emotional and powerful impact on you. Use this experience to inspire the group. Tell us what impact the experience had on your life. Speak from the depth of your heart with feeling and conviction. Remember this is a magic formula report, so please think of a specific incident to convey your report. This is an opportunity to use all of the skills you have gained to communicate a message of importance. Read page 11.14 of your Participant Manual and complete the “Inspire Others Report Planning Sheet” on page 11.15.
3) Come prepared to discuss examples of how you are applying the Dale Carnegie concepts (like using cushions, stating your opinions with evidence, or your use of the managing worry principles).
4) Be prepared to tell us what particular part of the readings listed below had an effect on you and why.
Reading Recommendations
- How to Win Friends and Influence People: (Review Part Three and all the principles to see which ones have become habits in preparation for the Human Relations Champion report.)
- How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Continue Part Eight
- The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking, Review Part Two, Chapter 5
- Review the Speak More Effectively booklet in the Resource section of your Participant Manual

Session 9 Review
Dale Carnegie Course®
Participant Weekly Action Reminder
“Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.” - Bernard Montgomery
Congratulations Session 9 Award Recipients
- Tim Bode of Starwood Hotels – Human Relations Award
- Adam Corrigan - Private – Human Relations Award
- Artan Duvari of Starwood Hotels – Crashing Through Award
- Giles Orford of Focusrite – Crashing Through Award
- Rolf Otto of UBS – Crashing Through Award
Session 9 Review
“Oliver Wendell Homes once said, “Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” We certainly expanded our capabilities and understanding of what we can truly accomplish in the last session!”
Session 9A Highlights: Demonstrate Leadership
Issues Addressed
- What is required of us to apply the “Be a Leader” Human Relations Principles when working with challenging people?
- What principles do we need to continue to work on and what might be the long-term outcome?
Session 9B Highlights: Develop More Flexibility
Issues Addressed
- How can I use flexibility to better communicate with others?
- What specific skills will help my communications be received with greater appreciation and respect?
What We Discovered
We each have a comfort zone when communicating. Our listeners also have their own comfort zones. Ultimately our listeners judge us on what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it. If we don’t become more flexible in our communication style, our listeners may not get the messages we are trying to communicate, no matter how valid and important our messages are. Being flexible is, therefore, up to us and is more important than being comfortable.
In preparation for Session 10, please:
1) Briefly review pages 10.4-10.6 of your Participant Manual. No further preparation is required for this part of the session.
2) For Session 10B, prepare a 2-minute report on how you have applied the Manage Stress Principles since Session 4. Use the Magic Formula. Read page 10.10 in your Participant Manual and complete the “Manage Our Stress Report Planning Sheet” on page 10.11.
3) Observe and reflect on your increasing skills in using Dale Carnegie’s 30 Human Relations Principles. We will give our Human Relations Champion status reports in Session 11.
4) Come prepared to discuss examples of how you are applying the Dale Carnegie concepts (like flexibility and your use of Dale Carnegie’s Human Relations and Stress and Worry Control principles).
5) Be prepared to tell us what particular part of the readings listed below had an effect on you and why.
Reading Recommendations
- How to Win Friends and Influence People, Review Part Two
- How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Part Eight and Start reading the 31 short stories to help you prepare for your report in this session.
- The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking, Part Five, Chapter 14

How did We Rate at Session 8 ?
Good Afternoon Folks - I hope your day goes well !
Last night was our first opportunity to formally recognise the strengths we see in each other supported by the all important evidence that adds credibility and sincerity to our comments !
If giving and receiving recognition felt 'good' then think about the impact it had upon you and how we can apply those skills back in the workplace to reinforce confidence, enthusiasm and co-operative incentive in others.
Thanks also, for being so open to exploring the power of a 'pep' talk upon the Enthusiasm and Energy we can inject into our activities.
Let's take a moment to 'recognise' the winners of the Breakthrough and Outstanding Performance Awards, Darin Davies(Marriott Hotel ) & Joan Penny (Ramada Hotels)
So - what awaits you at Session 9 ?
Session 9 – Part A
Report back : a 2-min talk upon our experience in applying principles 22-30 in exerting a Leadership influence.
Session 9 – Part B
In this part of the evening we will be developing Flexibility by working on exercises designed to challenge. Numerous past graduates of the course have said this session has done more for their self-confidence than any other session. There is no preparation.
* Reminder * Please Continue to put your Stress/Worry commitment into application, we will be updating each other upon our progress at session 10.
As always, should you have any questions about any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,
