Communication Cuts Through Chaos for Better Public Safety

When public safety is on the line, it is vital that law enforcement, fire departments, and other emergency responders have the ability to clearly communicate with large groups of people on a moment’s notice.

Whether the emergency is related to accidents, natural causes, criminal activity, or terrorist violence, panic and confusion in the crowd can greatly increase the risk of casualties.

Dale Carnegie - The Father of Self Improvement

It is fair to say that Dale Carnegie is the father of the self-help movement that swept across America. His principles of human relations are almost godlike in terms of their power if you just remember to keep things simple.

His book, How to Win Friends and Influence People was published in 1936 and since then has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time.


We would like to thank all of our dealers, suppliers, customers and friends for none of this would of been possible without their support.

We are looking forward to 2023 as we continue to grow our role in our community and make a difference in the causes we believe in.

Dale Carnegie - The Father of Self Improvement




It is fair to say that Dale Carnegie is the father of the self-help movement that swept across America.

Today you can't turn on the television or watch a YouTube video without seeing an infomercial selling a way to improve yourself. You can't enter a bookstore without passing hundreds of books dedicated to making you better.



His book, How to Win Friends and Influence People was published in 1936 and since then has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time.

Carnegie called himself a common man from the midwest with a simple philosophy for self-improvement, winning a legion of disciples and igniting a revolution built on a set of ideas that are remarkable only for being so basic.

His principles of human relations are almost godlike in terms of their power if you just remember to keep things simple.

Dale Carnegie was a man who took a fundamental need to connect, simplified it, and thereby made communication more effective for a large number of people.


"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

- Dale Carnegie


The man who laid down those principles was born more than a century ago into a life of hard times, hard work, and failure.

His mother Amanda Carnegie was a gregarious and dynamic a Sunday school teacher. She encouraged Dale to stand up and give speeches at Sunday school and insisted he receive a proper education.

Dale joined the college debating team and soon won an oratory contest, he also started teaching other students how to speak in public.

Carnegie offered to teach public speaking at the YMCA in Harlem at night school and like most teachers of the era Dale stood in front of the class and gave a lecture until one night when he ran out of things to say.

In that moment of panic he was struck by a great inspiration which was to give his students the chance to speak in front of others and have them get on their feet and talk.

It was a stroke of genius and the Dale Carnegie course took off.




A confident public speaker understands how to relate to his or her audience and will capture the audience’s attention within the first five minutes with creativity and relative engagement. America’s number one fear, like anything, requires adequate practice and preparation.

AmpliVox prides itself on being a prominent leader in the public speaking industry because of the quality and creativity our presentation equipment offers speakers. Nothing will capture your audience’s attention more effectively than an AmpliVox lectern.

Our lecterns reinforce confidence and provide unique assistance in giving great presentations.
