“Creating a Culture that Engages and Inspires”

SYMPOSIUM SPEAKER:
MARK COSGROVE, Director of Training, DALE CARNEGIE TRAINING

Leaders are tasked with creating a corporate culture that drives higher performance and a better bottom line. The most critical way to do that is to ensure that employees at all levels are engaged and actively working hard. Dale Carnegie’s research has identified what drives employees to engage and excel at their jobs.

This one-day seminar will help leaders:

  • Define employee engagement and why it is critical to organization success
  • Identify skills that will enhance emotions leading to higher engagement levels
  • Apply strategies to improve discretionary effort
  • Impact culture immediately

The most successful executives lead a workforce that is confident and enthusiastic about their work, empowered to get the job done their way, and inspired to reach personal and organizational success. This is what makes a “corporate culture” work! A genuinely engaged workforce is the only sustainable competitive advantage that you can directly and significantly impact.
