A new group of Logistics Plus employees completed the Dale Carnegie Skills for Success program at our global headquarters in Erie, PA. For the fourth time, Logistics Plus provided this foundational leadership program to 20 employees who volunteered to strengthen their people, communication, management, and leadership skills, build confidence, and manage stress more effectively. The course took place for three and a half hours every Wednesday for eight weeks. The program will continue to be made available to additional Logistics Plus employees in the future.
The Dale Carnegie Skills for Success course has five main objectives:
- Build greater self-confidence
- Strengthen people skills
- Enhance communication skills
- Develop leadership skills
- Reduce stress and improve our attitude
The Dale Carnegie program is used worldwide to help companies improve leadership skills and invest in their employees. Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus, has taken the course twice and wanted to allow his employees to experience it. Jim said, “In my mind, this course gives you the ‘tricks of the trade’ on becoming a better human being, getting along with others, and getting things done. I’d highly recommend it to everyone.”
Suzie Emo, an International Imports Specialist, was one of the employees who participated in the class. Suzie said, “The Dale Carnegie program provided me with unique and exciting practices to help me develop my professional confidence. It helped me set a direction for myself that I am proud to be heading in. This class brings a different result for everyone, but I know it is always a positive one. I am so thankful for this opportunity, and strongly encourage anyone considering this course to take the leap.” Upon completion of the class, Suzi won the ‘Highest Achiever’ award.
After the program, our employees expressed gratitude towards Jim Berlin (CEO), Yuriy Ostapyak (COO), and the Dale Carnegie team for providing them with this learning opportunity. The life lessons and leadership skills gained throughout this experience will never be forgotten.
