Summary

Aaron Kent: Dale Carnegie

In the opening of this episode, I mentioned the book Soar With Your Strengths, which I recommend.

This week, I welcome a dear friend and business partner as my guest. Aaron Kent is the President & CEO of Dale Carnegie of Southern Los Angeles. I asked Aaron the following questions during our interview:

What are some common misconceptions leaders have about training companies?
How would a leader know its the right time to consider bringing in an outside resource like Dale Carnegie?
What should leaders do to prepare for a first meeting with a company like Dale Carnegie?
How does Dale Carnegie approach a first meeting (i.e. what can leaders expect?)
In your experience, what do leaders who have great success with training do differently than those who have mediocre success?
What’s one thing that leaders don’t do when hiring you that you wish they did?
Since this show is about engaging and developing others with coaching, who is a leader that’s been an effective coach for you?
