  2. LEARNING OUTCOME • Scope: • Why? • What are the 7 success habits? • How to acquire and develop these 7 habits? Learning Outcome : To identify opportunities and room for improvement to strengthen these habits in our career and everyday life (whatever our roles and responsibilities)

  3. THE BIG PICTURE • The 7 Success Habits: • Be pro-active • Begin with the end in mind • First things first • Think win-win • First try to understand.. • Synergy • Sharpen the saw • The 8th Habit?..

  4. WHY? Because we want to.. Because we enjoy doing it and the success it brings.. Because we want to reach our true potential..

  5. Habit #1 Be pro-active >>> intention, initiative, positive, be the first.. Sense of urgency Mark of excellence and readiness, not reactive Being pro-active means: … standing out above the others, be in front … energised and energetic (it is contagious!) … volunteering, do not wait to be asked … asking the important (right) questions

  6. Habit #2 Begin with the end in mind >>> objectives, outcome-driven, plan for success.. Working backwards.. Plan your day, plan your life (diary) Begin with the end in mind means: … always refer to objectives (goals) … constantly correcting (muhaasabah) … having a clear road map … monitoring against milestone, timeline

  7. Habit #3 First things first >>> prioritise, based on your values in life.. Decide what is important for you, w.r.t your goals Importantvs Urgent First things first means: … knowing your priorities in life … value-driven, so don’t compromise … managing time and resources well … maintaining focus in your life

  8. Habit #4 Think win-win >>> a very effective strategy everytime, everywhere.. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the other person Consider benefits for everyone, so that everyone gains Think win-win means: … considering the interests of all parties … having a big heart (not self-centred) … developing sustainable strategies and plans … understanding WIIFM (what’s in it for me?)

  9. Habit #5 First try to understand.. >>> emphaty, active listening, caring, understanding.. The mark of wisdom (no regrets later) Listen, listen, then speak (we have 2 ears + 1 mouth) First try to understand means: … gathering the facts … giving people the chance to explain … checking the facts (double, triple) >>> only then make yourself understood!

  10. Habit #6 Synergy >>> leverage on the strengths, see the big picture.. Choose the right partners Develop mutually beneficial relationships Synergy means: … strengthening each other … 1 + 1 > 3 … making the cake bigger … innovation in developing creative solutions

  11. Habit #7 Sharpen the saw >>> improve your skills and knowledge base.. Life-long learning, life-wide learning (T) Continuous improvement Sharpen the saw means: … always thinking on how to improve … avoiding complacency … ready to learn, unlearn, relearn … always adding value to yourself!

  12. CONCLUSION Making it happen: • 1) practise, practise, practise, until it becomes habit • 2) plan for success • 3) have the right mindset • 4) be pro-active Habit #3: Habit #2: Habit #1: What is your end? How will it be? >>> it’s in your hands! >>> activate yourself!
