The 7 habits of highly effective teens Sean Covey
The 7 Habits Crash Course • On the next slide is a chart with numbers from 1 to 54. Your challenge is to find each number on the chart, starting at 1, then 2, then 3 and so on, all the way to 54. Take 90 seconds and see how many numbers you can find. There are no missing numbers or tricks. • Are you ready?
Paradigm Shift • On the next slide is the same chart you did before; however, this time I’ve divided up the box into nine equal squares. To find the numbers, just follow the pattern below.
A Framework • A paradigm is your perception, point of view, or the way you see the world. • A paradigm shift is when your point of view is changed by new beliefs, knowledge or information. • A principle is a natural law that is timeless, universal and self-evident. • Gravity • Honesty, hard work, respect, service, focus, patience etc.
The 7 Habits • Each of the 7 Habits is based on timeless principles • Be proactive • Begin with the end in mind • Put first things first • Think win-win • Seek first to understand, then to be understood • Synergize • Sharpen the saw
Habit 1: Be proactive • Take responsibility for your life • You can choose • Reactive people allow other things & people to control them • Proactive people choose to remain in their own experience separate from circumstances or other people
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind • If we aren’t clear about our end in mind, we’ll wander, waste time, and get lost. • Write a personal mission statement, or set of goals.
Habit 3: Put first things first • Important: Your most important things; stuff that really matters • Urgent: Things that are in your face and demand your immediate attention
Habit 4: Think win-win • An attitude toward life that believes everyone can win • Win-Lose: Stepping on other people • Lose-Win: Being the doormat • Life is not a competition
Habit 5:Seek first to understand, then to be understood • The most important communication skill you can ever learn is how to listen. • Listening is actively trying to understand another human being • Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of good listening and withholding judgment.
Habit 6: Synergize • Synergy: when two or more people work together to create something better than either could do alone. • Each individual brings different strengths to the team and together they are stronger than any one person alone. • No one is better or worse than anyone else, just different.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw • Take time to renew yourself • We are made up of heart, body, mind, and soul. Each part needs time and attention.
