DALE CARNEGIE TRAINING TO PRESENT
A Workshop on Team Member Engagement

Livonia, Michigan (May 2, 2008) – Dale Carnegie Training®, the global business training company with nearly 100 years of operation, is proud to present "Team Member Engagement Workshop." According to a 2007 global workforce study conducted by Towers Perrin, the highest percentage of engaged employees collectively increased operating income 19% and earnings per share 28% year-to-year, while those companies with the lowest percentage of engaged employees showed year-to-year declines of 33% in operating income and 11% in earnings per share. To help organizations effectively engage their employees, Dale Carnegie Training® has developed a series of competency-based, configurable training modules.

Through Mark Will, Executive Officer of Ralph Nichols Group, Inc., a Dale Carnegie Training® local representative, attendees will learn the principles of creating a common purpose for employees, as well as how to develop a unifying vision, foster an environment of mutual support, and understand the values that govern team interactions.

“Dale Carnegie Training® is about developing the ‘people’ side of the business,” states Mark Will. “In today’s business world, when many industries and products are getting commoditized, ‘people’ are their only sustainable competitive advantage. Thus companies see the value of engaging their employees and developing their potential to the fullest.”

Mark has been an instructor of the Dale Carnegie Course, Influential Leadership Training for Managers and The Sales Advantage for over 10 years. He moved into the Executive Officer position last November and now leads the $3 million franchise into a new era of serving the Detroit area businesses as a partner in employee development.

This workshop will begin on June 25 at 8:30 AM at our classroom in Troy, Michigan. Network with other professionals over a continental breakfast but we will begin the workshop promptly at 9:00AM. The workshop will conclude at 11:30 AM. To sign up, register at www.michigan.dalecarnegie.com or call 1-800-342-RSVP.
