    I have forgotten which principle belongs to which course.  Many
    of the courses sound like I sat through them already, but with
    different faces.  Yes, I have benefitted from them, but I have 
    also become weary of "new" techniques.  But Dale Carnegie has been
    around for a long time.  It should perhaps be in the high schools
    for all those budding businessmen who can't seem to get past their
    ahs and ya know's.

    I took the course over eight years ago and I just can't say enough
    about how much it has helped me in my career with Digital.  It was
    the best fourteen weeks I ever spent doing something I thoroughly
    enjoyed.
    
    I was not working at DEC at the time but once I did I realized how
    important many of the principles are.  This is true in regards to my
    home life as well.  I can't say I practice everything I learned but I
    usually can apply most of them.  I used to be terrible at names.  I
    still use name association to this day. 
    
    I was asked to be an associate instructor after the class ended
    but due to prior commitments I couldn't.   In my pencil holder is
    my "Human Relations Award" pencil from the course - a pleasant reminder.
    
    I am not sure if DEC will pay for the course but I think everyone
    should take it.
    
    My class size was over 25 but we all became so close no one really
    wanted the sessions to end.  Many of us still keep in touch. 

    I wouldn't mind taking the course again someday.

    It's been a long time since I've heard reference to this course.
    
    Where can I get information about it in my area ?

    
    
    Where do you live?

    I live in Clinton.

    I am a recient grad from the course, as of last November. I am enjoying
    many of the principals that I have learned. You must re-read the
    books over and over sometimes. I am and am finding alot that I though
    I have covered but was not there on my behalf. I am finding it is
    working very well as I talk to the folks on the telephone who have
    a lot of technical problems. Their emotions will get raveled into
    the topics asked, unfortunatly. I am able to help them when I can
    and send them off to seak other help with confidence on both parts
    if they have reached the wrong number or if I have no sulutions
    for them. I work at the DecDirect Add on Consulting Center. I am
    also finding that the communications skills that I have learned
    is enhancing my ability to communuicate with my own style intact.
    That is I am a man who enjoys the humor of life, and it is great
    to communicate this without hurting anyone or myself. I am also
    in a parodox with my peirs, and have read another part in which
    one sometimes must bend like the willow vs standing to fight like
    the oak. I wish that I could communicate to them the senerio that
    I see. Sometimes that is harder for they are closer too you than
    the folks on the phone, and are maybe less forgiving due to the
    fact that they have not taken the course and are suspisios that
    I am or would be their mulipulating their lives. 
    	Back to the real game of Dale Carnige, at first I was very
    a show me type. I thought that I would be helping Lyndon LaRouch
    campain with the enthusisam that I saw possesed here. I have learned
    alot from this course!! I know that I will learn more!! Gotta keep
    rereading!!! And gotta keep practicing..

    So now the sixty-four thousand dollar question.
    
    Where can I get information on this course?
    
    I live in the Nashua, NH area and I have often wondered about this
    course and just how effective it could be.  Any info?

    Not wishing to make this topic an advertisement for the Dale Carnegie
    Course ( though I admit I am very basis toward the course feeling
    it is the very best most conprehensive course out) I will be happy to
    answer any questions concerning where you can get information about 
    the course through E-Mail. Anyone is free to contact me  at 264-6234
    or send mail via Bionic::Royer.
                                        
    The thing that distinguishes  this course from other courses of
    this nature - and there are many - is that by vurture of its length
    (14) weeks, the ideas stick longer.  You receive so much practice
    during the 14 weeks, that it becomes a habit.
    
    - .8  I will send you mail.

    It has been quite some time since I took the course.  It really
    helped me develop skills that I use every day.  
    
    Presentation skills are used extensively at Digital and this course
    will help anyone.  It can't eliminate the associated nervousness
    but will help in coping with it.
    
    As noted earlier the course offers many skills and they all are
    necessary to work in the Digital environment.  
    
    The skill that I needed the most was confidence and as you grads
    know this course really can help in that area.  You would never
    know today that at one time in my life I was lacking confidence.
    
    I currently have a 10 year old son that reminds me of myself when
    I was his age.  He has the lack of confidence that I had.  I have
    tried to work with him but I know it will take something like this
    course to bring out the confidence in him.  I really wish this was
    a required course at the freshman level in high school.
    

    
    I are too.
    
    It helped me grow.  I'm still growing.  I recent refresher helped
    as well to reawaken lost dreams.  The recent refresher was the 4
    day "investment in excellence" DME course.  Very different presentation
    same ideas.
