Consider the price an organization pays when only half the people show initiative, fewer than half feel they can be candid about tough issues, and only a third possess individual work goals, plan their time, or contemplate how to improve their performance. Let's face it. Individual strengths and personal effort drive effective organizations. Unfortunately, with common distractions, conflicting priorities, unclear objectives, poor communication, and lack of trust, it's easy to burn out and lose focus.

Solution

What your colleagues are saying about the course:

 

  • Everyone struggles from time to time and feels overwhelmed. This course can make a positive difference - even if you only take away a tiny fraction of what was presented. You can always take it again and continue making positive changes with new take-aways.
  • Content: The content of 7 Habits is some of the best, no, the best overall for a "business" training class I have seen. The clarity and organization of the concepts, the links and transitions hang together tightly in a framework that is exceedingly useful, unlike other trainings of this type. Production Values: The books, cards and practice materials are beautifully produced, contributing to the synergy with the content. Impact: It all adds up to "I'll use it."
  • Great Techniques, tools to achieve success. Brought some understanding in areas I need to work on. Have already recommended to another.
  • This course was a big surprise. Life and work aren't compartmentalized, rather it takes an approach where the human being is considered in a thoughtful and sensitive way. This type of exploration and the tools one receives are clearly invaluable to finding effective solutions to life's many challenges. I would recommend this course to peers, partners as well as my own children if I could.
  • This workshop can help improve both your personal and professional life. If you follow the 7 Habits you would become a better partner and co-worker. It will help improve confidence and self-satisfaction.
  • The content is pertinent, applicable and well-organized.
  • I have already recommended the class to several individuals and will continue to do so as it is very eye-opening to see the differences and know there are tried and true ways of dealing with all those differences and issues.  Having clear goals and planning techniques in line to work more toward your own goals and "big rocks" is extremely helpful.
  • Slick, but more importantly, extremely effective packaging and presentation. Very impressive (convincing) videos, beautiful graphic design and collateral material that perfectly serves the purpose. Best of the many such self-improvement events I have attended over the years. Would buy from again!! A+A+
  • I will walk away with a set of goals I can use today to improve my personal and professional life.
  • The combination of books, cards, videos, apps, power point, group activities helped me to learn and desire to implement the 7 Habits in my daily life.
  • Thought the material was applicable. The presenter, Michael, was very knowledgeable. The content actually re-energized me as the space I was in was low.
  • This was great "stuff" about everyday life and how you can improve it. Top of the list. - Circle of influence - The 4 quadrants -Plan every day ahead. - Ways of listening. Create and live by your mission statement.
  • Powerful information for anyone in both professional and personal life
  • I had a few A-HA moments and the acquired knowledge will help and guide me at work and in my life. I am not claiming to have full knowledge or that I remember everything, but I will certainly use the book and the materials provided. Thank You!
  • He is an excellent instructor: passionate, good listener; patient, funny, engaging, good at explaining.
  • The instructor ensured that the information was covered and met individual needs.
  • I came away with some real tools for improving my life (Home and Work).
  • Great facilitation. Great Content. Excellent materials. Smart focus on "next steps".
  • It had a lot of good ideas that can be incorporated into work and life situations.
  • This was a good program and I'm glad I have the kit and the book to reference. I'm excited about signing up for the other programs to dive deeper into some of the habits.
