The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Workshop
November 29 – 30, 2023 | 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
“Stephen R. Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, has been a top-seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its fifteenth year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey exploring the question of whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answering some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.”
Based off Stephen R. Covey’s popular book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, this class will teach you how to execute critical priorities with focus & planning, end self-defeating behavior, develop strong relationships based on mutual trust, be prepared to deal with difficult circumstances before they happen, increase team engagement, morale and collaboration, create a highly effective culture based on core values and raise up the next leaders who model competence & character.
Join ABC-VA President Patrick Dean and Steve Daves, Owner of R.W. Murray, for two days of interactive discussion on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Learn how to use the seven habits to strengthen both professional and personal development. This renowned class will leave you feeling energized, refreshed and ready to take on the world with a new perspective.
PRE-WORK REQUIRED: Attendees will be sent a 360-degree survey to send to supervisors, colleagues, industry peers, friends and the like. Register early to make sure you have plenty of time for your surveys to be completed!
“A class everyone (at every level) should complete. I took so much from this and work to apply it to my life every day!” -Juliane Medd, Business Development Manager, Consigli Construction Co.
