Seminar Description:

No company can succeed until individuals within it succeed. No group can achieve its objectives until its people achieve theirs. That’s what the 7 Habits workshop is about--making people effective so that they, in turn, can make their organizations effective.

Nothing less can ensure survival and prosperity in these tumultuous times. The whirlwind of technological advances; the changing tide of global, national, and local markets; the storms of mergers, downsizing, and structural changes--these are just some of the proliferating challenges that organizations face today. Quick-fix solutions do not work in this environment. Piecemeal improvements are futile. Only those organizations that have made the effort to build a solid foundation of highly effective people will move surely and safely toward their destinations.

The principles taught in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People--the national best seller by Dr. Stephen R. Covey, founder and chairman of FranklinCovey Co., are brought to life in this powerful workshop.
