SESSION 4 Preview
If you work in stressful situations with stressful people, this session is for you! Our team members may view us as role models. They most certainly learn from and are affected by the examples we set when it comes to attitude control and stress management. Therefore, it is important for us to lessen daily "dis-stress" factors in order to lead most effectively. Inevitably, part of our stress is directly related to people with whom we work. Dale Carnegie has recipes for dealing with both stressful situations and people, so bring an open mind and be on time.

In preparation for Session 4, please:
1) Prepare a 1-minute Commitment Report on an area of your professional life that is causing a disproportionate amount of stress (distress). Consider these questions: "What about this situation is causing stress?" "How can I better handle the stress?" "What impact will this have on achieving my vision?"

Read pages 4.4-4.8 in your Participant Manuals. Complete the "Commitment to Put Stress in Perspective" form on page 4.9 to help prepare your report.

2) Prepare a 2-minute Status Report about an experience that illustrates your intentional application of the Enhance Relationships Principles. This is a commitment we made in Session 2. Use the Magic Formula process to structure the report: Incident, Action, and Benefit. Read pages 4.14-4.21 of your Participant Manual and complete the "Motivate Others ad Enhance Relationships Report Planning Sheet on page 4.22 to prepare your report. Practice it too!

3) Come prepared to discuss examples of how you are applying Dale Carnegie’s concepts and processes from sessions 1-3 (such as the Remembering Names, Put Enthusiasm to Work, etc.).

4) Be prepared to tell us what particular part of the readings listed below had an effect on you and why.
