Dale Carnegie Training Instructor
Greater Nashville Area
Someone once said to me "wow, an engineer with people skills". Yes, that's me. Working in the automotive industry for 15 years before joining Dale Carnegie in 2006, I noticed that the toughest problems were not technical. They were the people issues. Managing time, managing agendas, paying attention to others' goals and finding the solutions that met the team's objectives was the only way to succeed.
The Dale Carnegie Course sticks with you. 18 years after taking the course myself, I am helping other professionals develop the skills that will help them succeed. My goal is to help as many people as possible experience the success that Dale Carnegie Training makes possible.
I specialize in the Dale Carnegie Course: Effective Communications & Human Relations, the Sales Advantage, High Impact Presentations and the People Side of Process Improvement
