    "How would you feel networking with the world's most refined business professionals, learning from them and making money while enjoying what you do?" - Ahmed El Daly, Franchisee, Egypt
    Dale Carnegie Training strives to build a strong, profitable name for all of our franchises globally, while remaining devoted to our mission statement: We support the growth of successful organizations by creating successful individuals through training and development solutions. The training industry is primarily comprised of fragmented small consulting firms and inefficient in-house training departments. The need for professional training organizations with proven track records is in great demand.
