Logistics Plus Employees Complete Dale Carnegie Program

Logistics Plus employees recently completed the Dale Carnegie Skills for Success program at our global headquarters in Erie, PA. This foundational leadership program was provided by Logistics Plus to 23 employees that volunteered to strengthen their abilities in people, communication, management, and leadership skills as well as building confidence and managing stress more effectively. The course took place for 4 hours every Wednesday for 8 weeks. The program will continue to be made available to additional Logistics Plus employees going forward.

The Dale Carnegie Skills for Success course has five main objectives:

  1. Build greater self-confidence
  2. Strengthen people skills
  3. Enhance communication skills
  4. Develop leadership skills
  5. Reduce stress and improve our attitude

The Dale Carnegie program is used all over the world 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 give his employees the opportunity to experience it.  Jim said, “In my mind, this course gives you the ‘tricks of the trade’ on how to become a better human being, how to get along with others, and how to get things done. I’d highly recommend it to everyone.”

Andrew Copple, an IT support specialist, was one of the employees who participated in the class.  Andrew said, “It ended up being such a great experience for all of us that we’ve already made plans to meet up in the coming weeks to continue discussing the principles we learned during the class. Stress management, relationships, and leadership are all areas where we’ve seen improvements over the past 8 weeks.  We’ve even encouraged some of our co-workers who we think could benefit from taking this course when it comes time to enroll again.”  At the conclusion of the last session, Andrew won the award for the ‘Highest Achiever’ in the class.

At the conclusion of the program, the Logistics Plus employees who participated expressed a HUGE ‘thank you’ to Jim 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.
