7 Habits of highly effective people....

I got an opportunity to attend this training and felt fantastic after 3 days of this training. Previously, I had tried to read the book many times although never succeed to complete. Whenever I tried to read it previously, I found it really good but the only thing was that it was too much theory although there had been instances of experiences in abundance.

The instructor was expert on behavioral science and started with the Habit 1 : ProActive and went on to Habit 7: Sharpen the saw and in the training kept spell bound many a times. It was good to see that over a period of time, we unknowingly have been following many practices and it was good to correlate them to the theory. I think, the book is a great combination of great messages of vedas, upnishads and also a ton of points from Geeta. At the same time, the presentation of the material is great and respectfully, all credit to Stephen Covey for providing us so great a material.

A good introduction of all the habits are -

Another very good discussion with Stephen Covey -

Few points gathered from the trainings -

• "One is product of one's own choices over a period of time"
• "Think Win-win while working with relationship, clients, customers...It'll surely help in long run"
• "Seek to understand, then to be understood" A very critical point which emphasize the power of listening. In fact, emphatic listening is the keyword.
• "Work with Important and Urgent matrix". Working always in rush mode i.e. always in Important and Urgent domain will drain one out very easily.
• "Set priorities"
• "Come out of the paradigm of I"
