7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Do you feel like you are all too frequently ‘fighting fires’ instead of working on what’s truly important? Does it seem like you have to compromise too often – you can’t get to a true Win-Win? And just how satisfied are you with how well you deal with difficult people and/or resolve complex issues? Each of these and many more aspects of being truly effective are addressed in this workshop.
This workshop from FranklinCovey is one of the most acclaimed programs in the world. It has been said that the 7 Habits program you can attend right here at USD is “the most dynamic training for personal and professional effectiveness ever developed.” To accomplish this we will meet once a week for 4 hours for five weeks. You’ll receive all of the following and more.
- A pre-program “benchmark” of your current effectiveness.
- A workbook with both audio and video extensions
- A dynamic, interactive program led by a FranklinCovey-certified facilitator who’ll use case studies, poignant video segments and exercises as effectively as possible.
- A personal action plan to apply after the initial training.
- A follow-up, Maximizer program to refresh your new habits
- A post-program “benchmark” of your increased effectiveness.

If you feel as if you’re overwhelmed all too often, this workshop will show you how you can concentrate your energy more effectively day-in and day-out. Instead of burnout, you feel energized and much, much more…you’ll become Highly Effective!
