Dale Carnegie – An American Success Story

Dale Carnegie was born in 1888 in Missouri, and was educated at Warrensburg State Teachers College.  As a salesman and aspiring actor, he traveled to New York and began teaching communications classes to adults at the YMCA.  In 1912, the world-famous Dale Carnegie Course was born.  

He authored several best-sellers, including, How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.  Over 50 million copies of Mr. Carnegie's books have been printed and published in 38 languages.

Mr. Carnegie was a prominent lecturer of his day and a sought-after counselor to world leaders. He wrote newspaper columns and had his own daily radio show. 

Mr. Carnegie pioneered the workplace learning industry. Dale Carnegie founded what is today a worldwide network of over 3,000 instructors and offices in more than 80 countries. He recognized that in order to change a person's performance you must engage them in the process and coach them towards a more successful habit/pattern.

This is part of the methodology we use today to improve the results of companies and teams. Our success is evident from the positive results attributed to the over 8 million graduates of Dale Carnegie Training programs.
