Mission Statement for Dale Carnegie Training® Switzerland by Value Drive GmbH

Dale Carnegie recognized that many people – including himself – are held back by their fears and doubts and therefore do not realize their full potential. Through the Dale Carnegie Course he managed to
change the perspective of the participants.

Vision

Value Drive GmbH stands for “developing values in leadership”. To address the great shortage of sustainable leaders, we are strongly committed to develop young talents for leadership positions on solid entrepreneurial, social, sociological and personality values.

We engage and develop qualified personnel and trainers who share sustainable values.

Together with companies and people, we make an extraordinary contribution to responsible and leadership-competent personalities. We give people space and trust so that they can develop themselves and their potential.

Andragogical guiding principle of Value Drive GmbH, Dale Carnegie Training® Switzerland:

We offer course participants interactive and goal-oriented instruction. The focus is on the acquisition of leadership-relevant personality traits with the help of real-life practical exercises. We challenge and encourage participants to unlock new potential. The trainer motivates and inspires through expertise and interest in activities. Interaction is respectful and friendly at all times. The participants support each other. The learning climate is motivating.

We are committed to guaranteeing high quality and to reviewing and optimizing it regularly and systematically. Participation in international course evaluations and improvements at Dale Carnegie are a matter of course for us.

A regular and systematic professional exchange with our course trainers is of high importance. The course trainers have completed an andragogical/didactic further training.

We follow an adult-oriented, activity- and participant-oriented teaching approach. The participants should build on their existing knowledge and experience and contribute problems. They are expected to take responsibility independently and are prepared for self-reflection.

We are open to change, but at the same time want to provide a solid foundation. Through contacts with Dale Carnegie & Associates (USA), associations and the private sector, we receive directional input for our services.
