Seven Principles to Highly Effective Living

Course Number:  082-KM
Recommended Duration:  1 Day or 2 Days

Intended Audience:  All Employees

Course Overview
Someone once commented: “I climbed up the ladder of success, only to discover it was leaning against the wrong wall.” There are many models of effectiveness that can help us to achieve tremendous levels of success in life, but they do not always integrate knowledge and skill with purpose and character. When Stephen Covey introduced the world to “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” he outlined a set of seven principles that consistently lead to effective living precisely because they are rooted in both good behavior and good character. In other words, these seven habits connect our collective knowledge of what we need to do to be successful with our collective conscience that expresses our deepest value and character concerns about how we want to live our lives.

Objectives
In this course participants will learn about the seven principles for effective living that are based on Covey’s seven habits. In the first half of the course we will explore those principles that help us to be more personally effective. In the second half we will explore those principles that help us to be more interpersonally effective.
