SESSION 4 REVIEW
“In this session we began to reap the benefits of leading an intentional life. We changed our approaches to people by avoiding the natural inclination to criticize, condemn, and complain. Instead we made people feel important, became genuinely interested in others, and talked in terms of other people’s interests. As a result, our self confidence increased, stressful relationships become more productive, and our perception of what is possible expanded.”

Session 4A Highlights: Put Stress in Perspective
Issues Addressed
- What is the true cost of unmanaged stress and worry to us and our organizations?
- What can we do to manage stress; which not only kills people, but kills what is inside them while they are still alive?


Session 4B Highlights: Motivate Others and Enhance Relationships
Issues Addressed
- Why are foundational human relations principles so challenging to apply consistently?
- Can applying the Human Relations Principles truly enhance profitability, productivity, and quality?


SESSION 5 PREVIEW
Most of us have a desire to be recognized as a “can do” person within our respective organizations. We know that this does not happen by being a “wall-flower” or a “low-key” associate. Expect an industrial strength dose of increased effectiveness and confidence as a result of attending this session!


In preparation for Session 5, please:
1) Prepare a 1-minute report on an experience that involved a lot of action. Be animated by reliving an experience just as it happened. Show us the story of what happened. Read pages 5.5-5.6 in your Participant Manual and complete the “Energize Our Communications Report Planning Sheet on page 5.7.

2) Become familiar with “The Box Factory” on page 5.4 by reading it several times.

3) Prepare a 1-minute “Magic Formula” Report (Incident-Action-Benefit) on a subject about which you have strong feelings and unwavering convictions. Choose your subject based upon a specific incident that happened to you. Read page 5.12 of your Participant Manual and complete the “Unleash Our Full Potential Planning Sheet” on page 5.13

4) Come prepared to discuss examples of how you are applying the Dale Carnegie concepts (like the magic formula, your use of the worry and stress principles, and enthusiasm).

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