Matt Norman

Owning a Dale Carnegie franchise connects me to a powerful brand, an engaging culture, and leaders around the world in our field. It’s so rewarding to run a company that makes such an impact on people and organizations.

Nancy Covert

The Dale Carnegie product team is always discovering new ways of delivering training. During the pandemic, my franchise shifted from the classroom to a safe virtual environment using the eVolve digital platform. The Live Online training allowed us to keep delivering training without missing a beat. That adaptability sets Dale Carnegie apart from the competition. I’m proud to be part of an organization that continues to be a pioneer in the Learning Industry.

AI Product Innovation That Supports Franchise Growth

Dale Carnegie continues to expand its product portfolio to help franchises stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. New AI-powered tools like Humatar and DaleBot extend learning beyond the classroom through microlearning, coaching, and reinforcement, while programs like Human By Design prepare leaders to succeed in an AI-driven world.

These innovations reflect an ongoing commitment to modern, scalable solutions franchises can confidently bring to clients.
