Training® Dale Carnegie Training Competency Based Development System Dale Carnegie Training can develop facilitated training components units using our Competency Based Development System. Based on the increasing demand from customers to provide customized training solutions to meet their unique needs, Dale Carnegie Training® undertook the development of the Competency-Based Development System (CBDS). A competency is an underlying characteristic which results in effective and/or superior performance in a job. Competencies can include knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for successful performance and results. The CBDS is a configurable curriculum model that enhances flexibility in delivering highly customizable training solutions that maintain a consistent look and feel. This configurability presents a great opportunity to target the customer needs, add measurable value, increase satisfaction, and impact key business issues. Delivering customized training starts with identifying the client need. Our delivery expertise falls into six Curriculum Areas, shown in the graphic below. Within each Curriculum Area there are a series of Content Categories. The Content Categories represent common areas within which a series of training modules may reside. The value of this design is that it allows for Dale Carnegie Training to configure training programs to meet specific customer requirements.

A trainer can cover four modules in a standard workday or cover less material in greater depth. For example, one client in the banking business introduced performance appraisals for the first time, and we delivered a full day of training on conducting effective performance reviews.

Thailand Dale Carnegie Training® 19 Dale Carnegie Training® The Carnegie Performance-Improvement Advantage At the core of the Dale Carnegie Training® Process is a four-phase approach that coaches participants through a performance improvement cycle. Attitude Change Top performers possess the right attitude and skills. We will continuously motivate your employees to strive to surpass their goals. We will assist your employees to envision what they can become, thus creating a positive, enthusiastic attitude. Knowledge We provide participants with information, tools, and strategies for success. The Dale Carnegie Training® Principles and Drivers of Success lay a strong foundation for development. Practice We will immerse your people in real-world challenges. Participants will stretch their comfort zones to include results-producing skills, activities, and tasks. We encourage and teach individuals to apply their newly acquired skills in real-world situations. Skill We will adapt to the needs of the class participants, observing their growth along the way. Then, we teach them to put it all together to breakthrough performance. Dale Carnegie Training® 20 Dale Carnegie Training® The Dale Carnegie® Methodology The Cycle of Performance-Improvement creates a culture for learning and behavior change: Participative: Adults learn by doing. Active involvement, rather than lecture-based training produces optimal results. Dale Carnegie Training® will emphasize skills over knowledge. Knowledge is important as an entryway to skill development, but for success, we must practice new skills. It’s not so much what we know, but what we can do with what we know, and our attitude toward doing it! Positive: Research has shown that adults learn quicker, are more likely to position themselves for breakthroughs, and enjoy longer lasting results in a positive environment—an environment where we can try new things and build off of our strengths. Dale Carnegie firmly believed that a person is made up primarily of strengths. For some of us, this may be a welcome change! Permanent: Training is conducted over a period of time resulting in new habits that will remain with you long after the training is complete. Practical: Instead of role-playing, participants apply the training tools to their current business reality. Some participants say, “If I get one idea from this seminar, it will be worth my time.” It is not enough! Great things will happen in the classroom, but what really matters is what we apply in the real world to produce real breakthroughs! The principles we’ll be working with have been tested. They work. They have been proven! Pushes the Comfort Zone: What comes to mind when you hear the term comfort zone? We define it as “the mental home in which we live.” Most of us prefer to associate with people who are within five years of our age, similar socioeconomic background, work, values, etc. The challenge is that opportunities often lie outside our comfort zone. We may know something is outside of our comfort zone when we hear that voice in the back of our heads say, “Oh! I could never do that!” The single most limiting factor in an adult’s life is often the size of their comfort zone. Our goal is to gently and persistently stretch our comfort zone by developing more confidence/flexibility, so that we can take advantage of new opportunities. A breakthrough is typically far outside our comfort zone. Dale Carnegie Training® 21 Dale Carnegie Training® Why Dale Carnegie Training®? At a certain point in the evolution of your business, it is beneficial to seek outside resources to introduce new ideas as well as experience and the expertise that may not exist in your organization in particular areas of training. Dale Carnegie Training® from a Business Perspective We have established experience in the training of organizations that seek to bring out the best in their employees. In large and small companies, in various industry segments, we are the trainer of choice when it comes to assisting companies in creating competitive advantage through the development of their greatest resource—their people. Dale Carnegie Training® from a Learning Perspective We understand adult learning—it is our specialty. It is very important to combine theory with practice and personal accountability or you will not get the desired results. We recommend a hands-on working environment in every session. Our techniques will keep your people attentive and motivated. Each participant will be held accountable in a variety of ways to increase their leadership skills and improve interactions with others. Dale Carnegie Training® draws from its extensive classroom experience to facilitate learning in a variety of contexts. Participants are encouraged to make connections between classroom learning and professional interaction at work. We emphasize the business relevance of training concepts, which facilitates understanding and behavior change. We excel in translating learning concepts into everyday business issues. Building competency in leadership, teamwork, and communication in a hands-on environment allows individuals to analyze these skills from a new perspective. By facilitating the transfer of training, participants are better poised to change related behaviors and improve performance. Dale Carnegie Training® 22 Dale Carnegie Training® Dale Carnegie Training® Is Experiential Our experience has taught us that to be effective, training must be interactive and participatory. Skills are learned through practice. They are not learned by listening to lectures and tapes or by reading books and magazines. Our Training Solution is interactive and participatory. Participants are assumed to be actively working so they can apply the training concepts learned in the classroom with their clients and prospects in the field. Trainers will use a balance of presentation, practice, coaching, open discussion, and reallife experiences to help the participants to improve their skills “in the moment.” In this environment, participants apply the training and can produce results. Participants are held accountable for results in a positive way. Best practices are shared. New habits and skills are developed over time. Dale Carnegie Training® Is Consultative and Relationship-Focused For more than 90 years, the focus of all Dale Carnegie Training® has been on improving relationships by focusing attention on others. Underlying Dale Carnegie Training® programs are the 30 human relations principles as described in How to Win Friends and Influence People. These time-tested principles help individuals build relationships by focusing on the needs, concerns, and interests of the other party. This focus on others is the key to building meaningful professional relationships as well as maximizing productivity and business opportunities for the organization. Dale Carnegie Training® Produces Exceptional Results Your employees stretch beyond their comfort zones to become leaders in the industry. Participants will learn to develop new management skills, express themselves with confidence and clarity, contribute more productively, and above all become better leaders! Their newly acquired skills will make a significant impact on their working environment maximizing their contribution to the organization.
