Dale Carnegie specialists were brought in to work closely with the Connolly Leadership Team to customize a Presentation Skills course that would address their challenges. “We do a lot of roundtable discussions. Our people don’t stand up in front of 100 people and give a presentation or speech. So, as part of the training, Dale Carnegie had people sit around the table and simulate what one of those meetings would be like. They did a very good job of tailoring the training to address the specific areas in which our employees were lacking.”
We’ve enjoyed tremendous success these last three or four years, and Dale Carnegie has been an integral part of that.
Challenges
“The problem is while these people were highly skilled in their respective areas of expertise; they weren’t prepared to handle tasks that fell outside of their individual scopes”. Thomas Mohs, Director of Operations.
Solutions
