Promoting personal development, this workshop will challenge the way you look at the world and will help you build personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

The "7 Habits" public program costs more than $1,500, but East Stroudsburg University offers this program free to students and employees.

By living the 7 Habits, you can:

• Take control of your life
• Improve relationships with your friends, family, and co-workers
• Make smarter decisions
• Define your values and what matters most to you
• Learn to schedule your priorities instead of prioritizing your schedule
• Increase your self-confidence
• Find balance in your life

The Seven Habits Overview

The first three habits are called the Private Victories. They begin with you, and allow you to work on your character, motives, and paradigms (beliefs).
Habit 1: Be Proactive The Habit of Personal Choice "Learn to take responsibility for your life."	Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind The Habit of Personal Leadership "Define your mission and goals in life."	Habit 3: Put First Things First The Habit of Personal Management "Prioritize and do the most important things first."
The next three habits make up the Public Victories. As we practice these habits, we become better equipped to build effective relationships.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win The Habit of Interpersonal Leadership "Have an everyone-can-win attitude."	Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood The Habit of Empathic Communication "Listen to people sincerely."	Habit 6: Synergize The Habit of Creative Cooperation "Work together to achieve more.
The seventh habit is a daily process of renewing the four dimensions of our nature: physical, mental, spiritual, and social/emotional. This daily Private Victory is a victory over self. Not only does the daily Private Victory stimulate growth, but it also helps us achieve the Public Victory.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw The Habit of Renewal "Regular renewal of our body (physical), mind (mental), and spirit (social and emotional) helps us to maintain balance and accomplish our goals."

The skills and principles taught during this workshop focus on both personal and interpersonal leadership issues.

In order to change the results you are getting now, you need to do different things, not just continue to do the same things in a different way.

This intensive 28-hour workshop will help you see yourself and others differently. It can be a catalyst for long-term change, not just a motivational quick fix.
