DALE CARNEGIE CCI Systems 2024 SESSION 2 of 3 WAS A TRUE "BARN-BURNER"! “Respect must be earned over time. There are no shortcuts.” – John Maxwell   Session 2 was the definition of a Barn-Burner! Thank you for your amazing energy, action, and passion each of you gave in your presentations. Congratulations to our Session 2 Winners:   Box Factory Outstanding Performance: Sean O'Driscoll   Outstanding High Energy/Action Performance: Sean O'Driscoll   1-21 Principles Outstanding Performance: Kristen Tedeschi   LIONS Demo: Jeremy Delaet We learned how valuable it is to be engaged in our communication with other physically, emotionally, and mentally. By using logic, motion, and emotion simultaneously, we vastly increase our ability to engage our listeners. Dale Carnegie compared a communicator’s nervous energy to the “difference between a race horse and a plough horse.” Without enthusiasm, it is difficult to win our listeners attention and our message might be lost. By directing our energy into natural, expressive gestures and emotions, we release tension from ourselves and increase interest from our listeners. Plus, we smashed the chicken! Make It A Great Day!

DALE CARNEGIE CCI Systems 2024 SESSION 1 of 3 WAS A TRUE "BARN-BURNER"! “Respect must be earned over time. There are no shortcuts.” – John Maxwell   Session 1 was a Barn-Burner! Thank you for your energy, enthusiasm, and "coachability" when presenting your defining moments! They were all fantastic! Congratulation to your Session 1 Champions: Breakthrough Performance: Jessica Geniesse Outstanding Performance: Michelle Copley   As Dale Carnegie said, “Remembering names is the result of our desire to make the other person, not ourselves, feel important.” We do this by focusing on people as individuals, creating positive first impressions, and using proven methods for remembering names. We also discussed the importance of strengthening relationships to help us achieve our goals. The key is to realize that we have more control over our own actions than the actions of others. Make It A Great Day! Steve
