The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Workshop 2-Day Workshop Now Enrolling for August 12-13, 2008
The workshop is being offered to the Branson/Lakes Area as part of an ongoing process of growth and development. The best way to improve any organization, family, or community is to improve yourself. This workshop provides participants with a robust and tactical implementation of The 7 Habits into their lives. This is a must for anyone looking to become a more effective person—regardless of position, or stage in life. A five-step process will help empower participants: 1. Learn the basic principles underlying personal and interpersonal effectiveness. These principles are habits of people who consistently achieve their desired results. 2. Commit to live these principles. 3. Apply the principles in daily work and personal situations. 4. Meet periodically to share experiences, account for commitments, and learn new principles. 5. Monitor effectiveness and work for continual correction and improvement. The Result: As people apply the principles consistently over time, they develop habits of effectiveness. These habits empower them to become more self-directed and less victimized by external circumstances. When these habits are widely shared in an organization, the organization can move effectively towards its mission. In a nutshell, the essence of this valuable training is to equip you with the principles, the perspective, and the tools to achieve your goals and live a rich, rewarding, and balanced life. Workshop Dates: August 12-13, 2008, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Total Cost: $299 Includes: continental breakfast, lunch, weekly planner, and 7 Habits manual. Location: Ozarks Technical Community College at The Shoppes at Branson Meadows, 4440 Gretna Road, Branson, MO 65616. To register, contact: Lynda Doepker at 417-447-8904 or doepkerl@otc.edu. Sponsored by the Branson Believers and Ozarks Technical Community College Center for Workforce Development.
