One
of the best presentations I've seen or attended in a long, long time. This
really hit home with me and is an area I am motivated to work on.
They turn to the next chapter to
find: Give honest and sincere appreciation. "Honest feedback,
perhaps, but appreciation? With the problems those stakeholders cause?"
Concerned, they check out the third
chapter: Arouse in the other person an eager want. "Now wait a minute!
That sounds like something that would get me called into HR!"
It's easy to discount and even
parody the lessons from Dale Carnegie’s work. Yet Andy Kaufman shows how your
success in delivering projects might just depend on your application of
Carnegie's principles.
Participants of this keynote learn
practical insights on topics such as how to handle challenging stakeholders,
deliver difficult news, and even get those people in other departments to listen
to you!
Contact us to bring this insightful
and entertaining look at Dale Carnegie’s timeless classic to your organization.
Really
enjoyed Andy's presentation! It was very motivating! He was very personable. I
liked how he engaged the audience and involved them. No suggestions for
improvement or changes. Fantastic job!

- Have an Influence Scavenger Hunt after the keynote! Our
unique event is structured to send teams out to observe the influence
principles in action, encouraging them to work on the skills in real time
while serving as a team building event. It's fun, insightful, and a great
addition to an offsite retreat or company meeting!
- Have participants take our "Win Friends and Influence People"
self-assessment. It provides insights on areas each participant already
demonstrates strengths (as well as where they could focus on improving). We
also have a version of the assessment that allows peers, team members, and
managers to provide helpful insights for participants, allowing them to grow
in their people skills.
