Football Loyalty

Scott Parker had been a hero for a legion of West Ham UTD fans for 4 years, scoring the late equaliser in the Carling Cup fourth-round win over Stoke City last October, to making his 100th appearance in the 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion, and this year winning FWA Footballer of the year.

However like most football players, he has followed his career, and left us fans broken hearted by transferring over to our rival London team….Tottenham, but we are thankful for all the hard work he has put in.

However, the transfer window does mean that fresh blood will be running through the team. Sometimes a player - be it sport related, or work, may be worshipped by senior members of the team, and their word or play is gospel. Movement of these so-called heroes allows room for other, less vocal team members to make more of an impression and show what they are capable of.

Young footballers need the right coaching, and to be playing on regular basis, to practice and show their new and developed skills, so they can become as successful as Scott Parker. This is the same situation within the working environment too. Employees need high quality coaches in order to be able to progress, and develop their skills. They need leaders that they can relate to, and will allow them to build their self confidence so they can become high vocal team members and make more of an impression.

The key to becoming a successful, professional person is having the following skills at a high quality level:

• Communication
• Confidence
• People Skills
• Leadership
• Attitude

These are the 5 key drivers of success and at Dale Carnegie we can develop these skills, with our high quality coaches, who will allow you to practise the skills you have learnt.
