However, it wasn't until I enrolled in a Dale Carnegie course that I discovered my true passion for personal growth and building strong relationships. Now, as the CEO of Dale Carnegie & Associates, I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses unlock their full potential through personal growth. I believe that everyone has untapped potential, and with the right tools and mindset, they can achieve greatness.

Marshall Goldsmith provides a powerful guide for anyone seeking a higher purpose in their personal and professional life.
Goldsmith draws on his experience as a world-renowned executive coach to provide practical advice and exercises aimed at helping readers live a life aligned with their overarching purpose, regardless of the eventual outcome.
Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living an earned life, unbound by regret, requires committing to a habit of earning and connecting that habit to something greater than the isolated achievements of careerism.
With illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career, this book provides a roadmap for ambitious people seeking to close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done, and to avoid the trap of existential regret that reroutes destinies and persecutes memories.

Newport argues that the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task is becoming increasingly rare yet is one of the most valuable skills in our economy.
Through relatable stories and actionable advice, Newport presents a rigorous training regimen, consisting of four rules, for transforming your mind and habits to support deep work.
This book is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world. It offers practical advice on how to become better at what you do, and how to achieve a sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship.

Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves your attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. Newport began exploring the methods and mindset that foster a practice of…
Authors Chip and Dan Heath explore the conflict built into our brains that makes it difficult to make lasting changes in our companies, communities, and personal lives.
They argue that the rational mind competes with the emotional mind, which loves the comfort of the existing routine.
By providing relatable stories and counterintuitive research, the Heaths show how everyday people have united both minds and achieved transformative change.
Switch offers a pattern that can be applied to make changes that matter, whether it's changing the world or changing your waistline.
___________________________________ Change is hard. It doesn't have to be.
We all know that change is hard. It's unsettling, it's time-consuming, and all too often we give up at the first sign of a setback.
But why do we insist on seeing the obstacles rather than the goal? This is the question that bestselling authors Chip and Dan Heath tackle in their compelling and insightful book. They argue that we need only understand how our minds function in order to unlock shortcuts to switches in behaviour.
Illustrating their ideas with scientific studies and remarkable real-life turnarounds - from the secrets of…
