The Servant Leader
Anyone can lead when they are walking downhill on the sunny side of the street on a beautiful day. It seems effortless. When you experience those moments, take them in and enjoy the successes around you because they’re usually short lived. On the other hand, as you experience challenging moments working with others, this can…
Time Out!
September 26, 2017. For many, it’s just another day of the year. For me, it represents 57 years of living, 50 years of a faith walk, 40 years in business, 35 years of marriage, 32 years in the Dale Carnegie Training business, 30 years as a father, 16 years as a Dale Carnegie Franchisee, 9…

Given a moment or two, most come up with something that might sound good in a textbook, yet it doesn’t illustrate what a leader truly does and certainly…
Enthusiasm is a Success Strategy
By Kathleen Himler, Dale Carnegie Training Enthusiasm is rooted in the Greek language – “God within”. Deep huh? I prefer to put it in every day context. Think of enthusiasm in terms of this visual. Open up a can of coca cola (any brand!). What do hear? Pour it out. What do notice. Take a…

From the six stages of human development for the servant leader — Always be coaching! Stage 2: Coach This is the stage that most leaders fly past. Perhaps because they themselves are unclear, or they assume others know and understand, and perhaps have even perfected an activity, skill, or task, and only need to be…
Time Out!
Coaching Question: This week, are you leading more from level 4 & 5, or are you stuck in 2 & 3? My challenge to all leaders is to choose to become more of a level 4 & 5 leader. It produces long term, sustainable results in your team. You will sell more, millennials and…
