7 Habits Overview (click here to expand)
7 Habits Overview
The first three habits are called the Private Victories. They begin with you, and allow you to work on your character, motives, and paradigms (beliefs).
Habit 1: Be Proactive
The Habit of Personal Choice
"Learn to take responsibility for your life."
Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
The Habit of Personal Leadership
"Define your mission and goals in life."
Habit 3: Put First Things First
The Habit of Personal Management
"Prioritize and do the most important things first."
The next three habits make up the Public Victories. As we practice these habits, we become better equipped to build effective relationships.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
The Habit of Interpersonal Leadership
"Acquire an everyone-can-win attitude."
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
The Habit of Empathic Communication
"Listen to people sincerely. Empathize."
Habit 6: Synergize
The Habit of Creative Cooperation
"Work together to achieve more."
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
The Habit of Renewal
"Regular renewal in the four human dimensions (physical, mental, spiritual and social/emotional) helps us maintain balance and provides for continuous improvement."
All workshops are held on the Main Campus in Eberly 115.
