My summary of "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
I went from dreading speaking in public to an eager excitement about the opportunity to speak in front of others. I owe a great deal of that to reading "How To Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie for the first time at age 16.
My father enrolled me in a 12-week "Public Speaking and Human Effectiveness" class in Bridgewater, NJ in 1988 (can you guess my age?). Reading the book and engaging in the class - with a bunch of older adults much more scared than I was - was life-changing for me. Afterwards, I never had a problem getting a job, making a presentation, and interacting with people in social situations.
I gained so much favor with others just by applying the principles I learned in this book. In this episode, I summarize the key points of the book - sharing my personal experiences along the way.
This video is ideal for the creative entrepreneur who is looking to add the skill of speaking in public onto their talent stack.
