Three days. In-person. No theory. Practice, then feedback, then practice again.
Build the confidence to take on moments that used to feel out of reach: new responsibilities, high-stakes rooms, or situations where you've laid back. Leave with an approach that's genuinely yours.
Relate to people who think and work differently to you. Build trust that lead to genuine cooperation, not just compliance. Develop the kind of influence that doesn't depend on your position.
Communicate with impact whether you're in a one-on-one, a team meeting, or in front of a larger room. Pracitce live, in a small group, with facilitator feedback every session.
Manage stress before it manages you. Build the mental habits to hold focus when the day stops cooperating and stay sharp even when things don't go to plan.
What makes the Dale Carnegie Course unique is that it works for people of all backgrounds, industries, and levels, wherever they are in their career. The one thing everyone in the room has in common: they're ready for what's next.
Some enrol themselves. Others are put forward by their organisation. Either way, the experience is the same: real conversations, real practice, and a small group of people working through the same things. That mix is part of what makes the conversations useful.
The principles in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" have shaped the way millions of people approach communication, trust and influence.
The Dale Carnegie Course takes those principles and builds them into something practical for real people in real time which we can use instinctively on a daily basis.

Dale Carnegie is ranked among the top 20 leadership development companies globally, and this flagship course has been run publicly and inside major organisations worldwide since 1912. The methodology has been pressure-tested in real workplaces for over a century.
Every session follows the Performance Change Pathway, our methodology for moving people from awareness through experience into sustained behaviour. Participants bring real situations from work into the room, practise live with a certified facilitator, and leave doing things differently. A 30-day follow-up session keeps the new behaviour in motion.
Participants work on real situations from their actual jobs, with guidance shaped to fit the person in the room. No two participants walk out with the same set of notes.
Gain practical skills that will benefit your career, relationships, and confidence for years to come.

Where leaders have learned to present since 1912
Want to run this for your team?
The structure, delivery and presence that make the difference between a presentation people sit through and one that gets a yes.
Most people pick up presenting on the job. Watch others. Copy what seems to work. Get through the early presentations on adrenaline and get better at hiding the nerves over time. That route gets to competent. The leap to compelling takes structure and proper coaching, which is what High Impact Presentations is built to give. Two days, one-to-one coaching, and seven filmed presentations, each reviewed in private with a second Trainer.
A delivery style built by habit, not design
A working sense of what doesn't land, with no clear way to fix it
A few presenting habits copied from someone else, with no idea
which ones actually help
Pressure that quietly gets bigger as audiences get more senior
Dale Carnegie
Two days. In-person. No lectures. Practice, coached feedback, then practice again
First impressions decide what attention the rest of the presentation gets. Practise openings that pull the audience in fast, and structure credibility so claims hold up under scrutiny.
Take detailed, technical or layered information and structure it so the audience can follow, remember and use it. Practise it in front of a small group with feedback from a certified coach, every session.
Hostile questions, shifting agendas, off-script moments handled without losing the thread. Practise the structure that keeps a presenter in control of the conversation, even when the conversation goes sideways.
Close with a clear ask. Use the Dale Carnegie Magic Formula to structure your case with evidence first, land the action, and name the benefit, whether you're motivating a room, leading people through change, or delivering hard news they need to hear.
Our participants come from across industries and seniority levels. The common thread isn't a job title. It's that they present often, present in rooms that matter, and want to be better at it.
Our groups are usually made up of people who've enrolled themselves and others put forward by their organisation. Either way, the experience is the same: real conversations and real practice.

Three reasons people pick High Impact Presentations program over the alternatives.
The original Dale Carnegie public speaking course, running since 1912 and still the program major organisations choose for their leaders. Trainers complete more than 150 hours of in-house development before being signed off.
Up to seven recorded presentations per participant, all using real material from each person's actual work. Every one is filmed, watched back, and coached one-to-one before the next attempt.
Two certified trainers run every cohort. One leads the room, the other coaches one-to-one between presentations, building from each presenter's existing strengths and sharpening what's already there.
Presenting is one of the few skills that compounds. Every pitch, board paper and team update gets easier the more it is used.

Straight answers to the questions that come up before most.
High Impact Presentations is built for working professionals who present at work and want to do it well. That includes managers, business development and sales professionals, technical experts, team leaders, partners, account leads and senior executives. For people earlier in their career or wanting to build broader communication and confidence skills, the Dale Carnegie Course is the better starting point.
Three phases. An online kick-off session before two days in-person. An online sustainment session a few weeks afterwards to lock in the new habits.
One trainer runs the room. The second sits with each participant for one-to-one video review between presentations. That coaching ratio is the part most other courses do not have, and it is the part that actually changes how someone presents.
Yes. The course works well for individuals, and equally well for cohorts from the same organisation. Teams that want a bespoke version can run it in-house, with content built around the actual presentations the team is preparing for.
Yes. A deposit plus a payment plan can be arranged on request.

Want to run this for your team?
Two days, 14 leadership competencies, and a personal plan you can use straight away. It's the foundation most leaders never get, whether they've been leading for six months or six years.
One day you're doing the work. The next, you're responsible for leading a team, developing a strategy and making business critical decisions.
It can be one of the hardest transitions in any career. Especially now, with so much uncertainty in every market. Leaders are expected to build capability in a workforce being reshaped by technology and social shifts, and still hold things together while it all keeps moving.
Still doing the work and trying to lead
Having difficult conversations while maintaining good relationships
Identifying when and how to develop others
Being able to delegate effectively
Creating the space to do all of this
Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2026
Stop Doing, Start Leading is a practical two-day program. In-person. No lectures.
Structure roles and responsibilities around what genuinely energises each person on the team.
Set the conditions for your team to own their work.
Direct performance conversations, done with confidence.
Free up time to lead instead of just doing.
Participants come from different industries and organisations, which is part of what makes the conversations so useful.
Ideal for people preparing to step into leadership through to those who've been leading for years, all at the point where they're ready to shift from doing the work to building the team around them.
Our groups are usually made up of people who've enrolled themselves and others put forward by their organisation. Either way, the experience is the same: real conversations and real practice.

Practice-first sessions focused on the conversations leaders actually have: trust, feedback, accountability, performance. Participants work with real scenarios, practise live, and leave with a clear action plan to apply from day one back on the job.
Participants identify their strengths, blind spots and credibility gaps, then develop a Leadership Impact Plan — a practical guide that keeps working well beyond the two days in the room.
Gain practical skills that will benefit your career, relationships, and confidence for years to come.

Newer leaders and people managers who are ready to shift from doing the work to developing the people around them.

An online kick-off session and competency assessment identify current strengths and growth areas. Two days of in-person training follow covering 14 leadership competencies with personalised coaching. A final online session focuses on implementing the personal leadership impact plan.

Many teams have the right people doing the wrong work. Map where each team member performs at their best and where they get by, so teams can be aligned to contribution rather than habit.
The 6 Types of Working Genius is a simple assessment that shows teams where each person does their best work, and where they hit friction. Patrick Lencioni introduced it in 2020 and it has grown quickly since, with more than 1.6 million people completing it worldwide. Teams use it to lead better meetings, work to people's strengths, and put energy where it actually counts.
The model identifies six types of work that sit at the heart of how anything gets done:
asking the big questions,
identifying what could be better
generating new ideas
and original solutions
evaluating ideas with instinct
and good judgement
rallying people around an idea
and creating momentum
supporting others and
helping plans come to life
pushing through to completion
and getting things done
Everyone has two Geniuses, two Competencies, and two Frustrations.
The first energises. The second drains slowly. The third burns people out.
When a team maps their collective profile, the picture becomes clear fast.
Most people know what they want to get better at. We know which program gets them there fastest. Let us match you.
Run meetings where everyone knows the contribution they bring and decisions actually get made.
A clear picture of where energy sits across the team, and where it's being quietly spent on the wrong work.
The right people in the right conversations. Everyone else gets their time back.
Less time in frustration zones means more time on the work that actually moves things.
People feel valued when their contribution is understood, not just tolerated.
What looks like disengagement is often just misalignment. Working Genius gives teams the language to tell the difference.
— Patrick Lencioni
Most teams who take the assessment learn something interesting. Fewer do anything with it. The workshop is where the insight becomes a shift in how the team actually works.
Workshops run online or in person, in formats built around what the team actually needs. More details are in the brochure.
Dale Carnegie has been developing leaders inside major organisations for over a century. We're Certified Working Genius Facilitators, and we bring that certification into a broader capability-building approach, so the assessment doesn't sit in isolation. It connects to how teams lead, communicate, and perform.

The Six Types of Working Genius Assessment is a productivity tool developed by Patrick Lencioni and the Table Group. It identifies which of six fundamental work activities (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanising, Enablement, and Tenacity) energise each person, which they can manage but find draining over time, and which lead to frustration. Unlike personality tests, it's designed to be applied directly to how teams work, plan, meet, and make decisions. Over 1.6 million people across 100+ countries have completed it.
Each participant receives a personalised report identifying three things. Their two Working Geniuses, where they naturally thrive and feel energised. Their two Working Competencies, where they can perform but it costs them over time. And their two Working Frustrations, where sustained effort leads to weariness and disengagement. The report also includes practical guidance on applying these insights within a team context.
The assessment contains 42 statements and takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
Most workplace assessments, including DiSC, Myers-Briggs, and StrengthsFinder, focus on personality or behavioural style. Working Genius focuses specifically on the type of work that energises or drains each person, and applies that understanding directly to how teams collaborate, run meetings, delegate tasks, and complete projects. It's part personality assessment, part productivity tool. The result is a shared language teams can actually use day to day, not just a report that gets filed away.

It can be. For many organisations, the Working Genius workshop is a starting point that connects naturally to broader capability-building work. Dale Carnegie Australia offers a range of solutions across leadership, communication, team development, and culture that build on the self-awareness the Working Genius model creates. The assessment doesn't have to sit in isolation.
Yes. If a team has already completed the Working Genius Assessment, we can facilitate a workshop using those existing results. Get in touch to discuss what that looks like for the team.
