    Please join the Engineers’ Club of Philadelphia in recognizing the contributions that former Gov. Ed Rendell has made to the engineering profession and to the public in general throughout his career as an elected official.

    Mr. Rendell was first elected to public office in 1977 when he made a successful run to become the District Attorney of Philadelphia County, a position he held from 1978 to 1986. He returned to public service following his election as Mayor of the City of Philadelphia in 1991, serving for two terms from 1992 to 2000. In 2002, he was elected as Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a position he held for two terms from 2003 until 2011.

    Mr. Rendell has been a tireless supporter and advocate for increased funding for and improvements to public infrastructure, both while in elected office and since his return to private life. He has continually been in the forefront in his recognition of engineers and the engineering profession to achieve these goals for infrastructure. The Engineers’ Club is pleased to cite his contributions and support through our awarding of the George Washington Medal to Mr. Rendell.

    The Engineers Club of Philadelphia is pleased to partner with Dale Carnegie to host How to Communicate with Diplomacy and Tact and continue the rich history between the organizations.

    Have you ever been awed by someone who always seems to know what to say and how to say it—how to communicate with diplomacy, tact and confidence?

    Now you can acquire these same skills. You will gain dexterity and grace in dealing with trying situations; recognize how you come across to others; learn to speak honestly and confidently; become conscious of body language; master emotions; give and receive criticism constructively; present yourself as powerful, not intimidating; and say what you need to say without creating conflict.

    This program will help you learn to influence outcomes and create cooperation through effective communication.

    Participants learn how to:
    • Discover if your image is sending the right message
    • Develop flexibility in your communication style
    • Use a tried and true method to disagree agreeably
    • Communicate more effectively through active listening
    • Control your “hot buttons” and respond instead of react
    • Avoid conflict; stay calm and poised when it's unavoidable
    • Present yourself in a powerful but not intimidating way
    • Deal assertively and diplomatically with difficult people
    • Maintain your composure when criticized

    This course provides 14 PDH. It is the participant's responsibility to determine whether the course complies with the requirements of the registration or certifying agency. A certificate of completion will be provided to those completing the course.

    QUESTIONS? Call Engineers Club 215-985-5703 or Dale Carnegie 215-222-1010

    This is a two-day course.  Lunch will be on your own; there are many lunch options in the area.
