Not sure finance and investing is right place but best fit as you are investing in your future and yourself with this course.  
 
It is being offered in Brandon starting next week. I have been suggesting it to my adult children for a few years. I would like some feedback on what you thought and what have your successes been?  
 
Do you think going with family and friends is a good idea or is going on your own better? Do you think 50 something's can gain value or is it geared for people starting out in life?  
 
Was it worth the cost or have you found other courses more beneficial ?  
 
any other input you may have would be welcome.

I took it through work. Don't go with friends. Learnt things like name retention, out of the box thinking, in front of class activities, and group activities. It really helps in getting you out of your comfort level. I am a pretty shy person and would warm up after talking. Now I have much less of a hesitation in walking up to someone I don't know and shaking their hand and starting a conversation. How to engage and keep a conversation interesting.

course is by far the best program I've been involved in. It allows you to learn how to treat all people with respect and to be as positive as you can be in all situations. Learning how to deal with stress and remembering peoples names and info are great tools also.

by an employer 17 years ago. Take Dale Carnegie or hit the bricks! I was nothing but negative before. My interpersonal skills were horrible. I was in my mid 20's and thought I knew everything! I went in negative but my attitude changed to the course after a couple weeks of activities. You will definitely have to get outside your box and comfort zone as you are telling total strangers some of your deepest thought processes. I got an introspective into me more than anything else. Don't take the class with anybody you know. I would recommend it to anybody of any age.

I have taken the course and, agree with the previous poster. You will get more if you are not attending with family or friends. I felt it was worth it (mid 40's). You will be pushed and pressured beyond your comfort level. You will benefit from the material but also from the experiences of others. I believe anyone can gain something from this course but you need to be, at least, minimally open. You do not coast through Dale Carnegie.

Take the course! Definitely money well spent. Don’t take with family or friends, even co workers. Age doesn’t matter. Even if you think you don’t need the course, give it a chance. They teach you to leave your comfort zone, how to remove stress, improve your memory of names, team building and so much more. I would highly recommend! I have gone to 2 different ones, both paid for by work. One was strictly for all my co workers that was geared at our job, and the next one was put on for anyone who wanted to attend. So I had no co workers for the second one.

thanks for them. but I guess no one should be surprised - you all achieved great benefits from the course obviously by the wording and respect for the process. I can tell it works.
