Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood is about developing the skill of empathic listening. Dr Stephen R Covey teaches listeners the value of interacting 'with understanding' to influence co-workers, bosses, your spouses, children, and neighbours. He shows how the real key to influence is 'actual conduct based on true understanding of another point of view.' In this in-depth exploration of Habit 5, listeners will hear Dr Covey teach how to identify the four autobiographical responses most people have when they listen. Since communication skills 'will not be effective unless they come from a sincere desire to understand', Habit 5 is where listeners learn how to transcend the limits of human perception so that they can deeply communicate and cooperatively deal with the issues and come up with Win/Win solutions. This is not pop psychology or simply a trendy catch phrase. Rather Dr Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to behaviours.

Habit 1: Be Proactive is all about taking control of your life. Dr Stephen R Covey reveals the reactive mentality that is so pervasive in the world today. He shows how every day we hear language that tries to excuse us from taking responsibility for our own choices. 'That's just the way I am'. 'He makes me so mad'. "' have to _____'. 'I can't'. 'They won't allow that'. In this in-depth exploration of Habit 1 you will hear Dr. Covey teach how to change the reactive 'Mental Map' that seeks to blame circumstances or others into a positive, proactive mentality. 'Anytime we think the problem is "out there"' that thought is the problem. We empower what's out there to control us...The proactive approach is to change from the inside-out: to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there.' This is not pop psychology or simply a trendy catch phrase. Rather Dr Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to behaviours. By living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and other time-tested principles, listeners find the real keys to changing unwanted behaviours.
Habit 6: Synergize is all about working with others to creating solutions that value other people as well as yourself. Dr Stephen R Covey explains how the synergistic position of high trust produces solutions better than any originally proposed. Instead of a transaction, it's a transformation; both parties get what they want and build their relationship in the process. In this in-depth exploration of Habit 6, listeners will hear Dr Covey teach how to value differences and thereby increase awareness, growth, and change. The result is that the whole enterprise moves upward, often in ways that no one could have anticipated. This is not pop psychology or simply a trendy catch phrase. Rather Dr Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to behaviours. By living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and other time-tested principles, listeners find the real keys to changing unwanted behaviours.
HABIT 2: Begin with the End in Mind is about making sure that each day contributes in a rich, meaningful way to the vision a listener has of life as a whole. Dr Stephen R Covey reveals the way to define both present location and future direction so that the steps taken are always in the right direction. 'Effectiveness does not depend solely on how much effort we expend, but on whether or not the effort we expend is in the right jungle.' In this in-depth exploration of Habit 2, listeners will hear Dr Covey discuss how all things are created twice: a mental (or first) creation and a physical (or second) creation, and be shown how to design a blueprint for both personal and professional life. The highlight of the habit is when Dr. Covey actually guides the listener through the creation of a Personal Mission Statement-one of the most eye-opening and useful tools an individual can use to chart the course of his or her life. With simple yet amazingly effective techniques, Dr. Covey helps the listener begin to live by 'design rather than default'.
By creating a proactive, principle-centred life, listeners who apply this habit will have an inner compass to guide each day with the end in mind.

Habit 3: Put First Things First is about the day-in, day-out, moment-by-moment doing it-the difference between managing time and managing ourselves. After becoming proactive (with Habit 1) and defining goals (with Habit 2), Dr. Stephen R. Covey teaches listeners how to master self-management by developing integrity and intention based on those goals. This habit explains the importance of becoming principle-centred by creating a vision of and concentrating on the unique contribution that each person makes. Dr Covey also introduces the concept of the Emotional Bank Account, which listeners can apply to both personal and professional relationships. By learning to define and manage their 'deposits' and 'withdrawals', they can develop a profound understanding of the interdependence that exists between human beings. In his straightforward and entertaining style, Dr. Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to successful, effective behaviours. By living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and other time-tested principles, listeners find the real keys to changing unwanted behaviours.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw is about recognizing the importance of taking time regularly to take care of yourself physically, spiritually, socially/emotionally, and mentally. Dr Stephen R Covey explains the importance of regular renewal in all four of these areas, to create a fully satisfying life with intrinsic security. 'Balanced renewal is optimally synergetic. The things you do to sharpen the saw in any one dimension have positive impact in other dimensions because they are so highly related.' In this in-depth exploration of Habit 7, you will hear Dr Covey teach listeners how to stop being defined by the perceptions and paradigms of people around them and become an affirmer of other people-thereby increasing their own success and happiness so that we have an 'inside-out congruence' from living a life of integrity. This is not pop psychology or simply a trendy catch phrase. Rather Dr Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to behaviours. By living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and other time-tested principles, listeners find the real keys to changing unwanted behaviours.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win is about 'ensuring that all agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial, mutually satisfying.' Dr. Stephen R. Covey leads listeners through an exploration of six different paradigms (patterns of thoughts and behaviour) and reveals the win/win paradigm that will create a 'higher way' toward meaningful-and mutual-successes. In this in-depth exploration of Habit 4, you will hear Dr. Covey explain why Win/Win is the only real alternative in interdependent realities. Including discussions of character, integrity, and maturity, Dr. Covey also teaches listeners how to create an 'abundance mentality' so that they can 'take personal joy, satisfaction, and fulfilment and turn it outward, appreciating the uniqueness, the inner direction, the proactive nature of others.' This is not pop psychology or simply a trendy catch phrase. Rather, Dr. Covey helps the listener examine the character attributes that lead to behaviours. By living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and other time-tested principles, listeners find the real keys to changing unwanted behaviours.
