I THINK I AM A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PERSON AS I WORK FROM HOME AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF DISTRACTIONS SINCE I AM MY OWN BOSS.

There is always the temptation to jump into bed and watch TV or porn. Or waste time lingering on the balcony with coffee. Or chatting endlessly on Facebook and cruising the Net for unnecessary information!

So if you tend to give in to laziness and incompetence once too often, perhaps you should attend this course?

INTRODUCTION

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a popular book, published by Simon & Schuster and written by Stephen R Covey. It provides a useful, sequential framework for understating much about the process of Personal Development. Many highly successful people seem to have naturally developed these principles of effectiveness.

This program is about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People which introduces the concept of Paradigm Shift and prepares the participants for a change in mind-set. It makes the participants to understand that there exists a different perspective, a view point that maybe different from his / her own and quotes that two people can see the same thing and yet differ with each other. This is not logical, it is psychological. Once the participant is prepared for this, it introduces the seven habits; in a proper order.

Problems caused by ineffectiveness cannot be solved with the same ineffective thinking that created them.
