This program provides the flexibility of teaching the lessons over the course of a school year, a semester or various other time periods as needed.

The 7 Habits®:

  • Habit 1: Be Proactive®. This first step encourages students to think before acting and take responsibility for the choices they make.
  • Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind®. Habit 2 helps students determine what they want before they begin, developing a clear picture of where they want to go in life.
  • Habit 3: Put First Things First®. To ensure important things are prioritized is what students are taught in the third habit. They are also empowered by recognizing the willpower they have to follow through on those things first.
  • Habit 4: Think Win-Win®. Students are taught to want other people to win as well as themselves.
  • Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood®. Ensure students are concentrating on actively listening and truly comprehending what others are saying. Then, they can take the time to share their own thoughts.
  • Habit 6: Synergize®. Students learn that two or more people produce more together than they could have done separately.
  • Habit 7: Sharpen the SAW®. This habit is a daily process of strengthening or renewing the four aspects of our nature: physical, mental, spiritual, and social/emotional.
