Prior to founding CTS and IA, Joe was the General Manager, Senior Instructor and Corporate Solutions Director for Dale Carnegie Training® of Southeaste PA, with certifications in all nine Dale Carnegie Training® Programs.

As the former Senior Instructor and Corporate Solutions Director for Dale Carnegie Training®, my job was to teach and coach other Carnegie instructors on the use of highly-interactive training techniques and processes to ensure the transference of the training material into practical, usable skills. My training style is based on the adult learning philosophy of "discovery." Each participant must discover for themselves the relevance and usefulness of the training material covered. The ‘light-bulb' goes on in an individual's mind as the instructor leads the class through a carefully planned and executed set of interactive and participative training processes. Presenting the material, and then asking probing and thought-provoking questions to stimulate thinking, more questions and possibly objections is one of the only ways to create an environment for the class member to experience the "a-ha" phenomena.

I also use instructor-led and small group leader-led discussion and work groups to facilitate the discovery process. Knowing people learn in a variety of different styles, I utilize auditory, visual, and kinesthetic teaching methods. Humor is also a part of my instructional style. I keep the classroom environment light and free but with a serious approach to the material and its importance to the participants' lives. I have extensive experience with senior leadership as well as top and mid-level management teams.
