2 The 7 Habits Crash Course
On the next slide is a chart with numbers from 1 to 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?

4 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

5 10 20 38 29 11 2 31 41 51 34

6 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.

7 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

8 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

9 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.

10 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

11 Habit 3: Put first things first

12 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

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.
