Great leaders have a way of inspiring you to new heights and drawing the most from your abilities. But how could they do that if they never made you feel appreciated or worthy of achieving great things?

Dale Carnegie proposes that as a leader you begin with praise and honest appreciation. That lets people know they are headed in the right direction and that you support them.

Today Peter Fletcher, headmaster at St. Paul the Great Academy, joins us to talk about how this principle has been instrumental in developing his school into a place where people feel like they belong and are important – from  students, to parents, to teachers and the maintenance man.

Put on your wet suit, this one gets deep.

Sometimes the people you’re taking too or dealing with just can’t see the big picture. And you explaining it 10 different ways isn’t helping either.

Dale Carnegie Training is typically delivered in a business context, but how can these principles affect your personal relationships?

Today fellow trainer Tim Shoptaugh and his wife Susan Shoptaugh discuss the impact of having a grasp and command of the 30 principles and how they affect their marriage and friendships.

This is part one of a three-part series where we’ll focus on the importance of living an intentional life to the point that these principles become a part of how you interact with everyone, not just at work or in leadership roles.

Thanks Tim and Susan!

Imagine someone who is noble. What types of things do they do? How do they carry themselves? How do people respond to them?

Dale Carnegie believed that deep down everyone has a desire to “do the right thing.” As leaders we can tap into that and help inspire people to be their best.

Think about it this way, too. What is the reason a person goes to work every day? Why do they spend time away from the people they love and things they’d rather be doing? That is another way to look at “Noble Motives.”

This week Richard Wolfe joins the podcast for some insights. Ashley Alexander fills in for Joey and the whole thing is a blast!

When does your wife or husband listen to you the most? When do your kids give you their full attention? At work, what causes your fellow employees to take your advice?

Dale Carnegie says that only when we sympathize with the other person’s ideas and desires can truly get buy-in and bring people together for a common goal.

Today Reece Theriot sits down with me and Ashley to talk about how important sympathizing with other is and when we can actually take it a step further and empathize we can create even more value for each other.

What happens to communication when we dig in on our own opinion? How likely are we to be open to new ideas that could actually benefit us or the company?

Dale Carngie’s 17th human relations principle is “Try honestly to see things from the person’s point of view.” This principle can help keep us from falling into the trap of always having to be right and possibly alienating differing opinions.

Lafayette Airport Deputy Director Daniel Elsea joins us today to talk about his experiences when using this principle and how it has helped him get things done in creative ways.

What makes you want to do something more? When someone tells you to do something, or when you decide for yourself that it needs to be done?

Dale Carnegie proposes that when people have an idea for themselves, they are more likely to own that idea and follow it through to the end.

Today Zachary Barker from the Opportunity Machine joins the podcast to discuss how letting the other person feel the idea is his or hers can help improve camaraderie and build team ownership.

This is a long one but a good discussion. Barker gives a ton of great insight into this topic as well as shares some personal accounts of how using this principle has been worth millions!

Enjoy!
