Much had been said here on Covey's 7 Habits, however recently signed myself up for a 7 Habits workshop offered at work. Was a semi reluctant to do so at first and decided to give it a go as the Covey work is sound. Being a work orientated course, it was arranged as a 7 Habits online (covid) presentation, including work groups. There is a blend of personal and work that would somewhat disorientate attendees due to the questions (e.g. are they talking about work or non work).
The course is a FranklinCovey course, and Stephen's son seems to introduce the course from the FranklinCovey base. Resources included were extensive, with life/day planners focused on the 7 Habits, videos by Covey and booklets. There was also a a 7 Habits app (if not known) that I ended up downloading and have not really explored it to potential, however it has good messaging that one can reference on a day to day basis if need be. The app is called FranklinCovey Living the 7 Habits. Here is what it looks like:
Integrated into the course (which is another modality - separate) is The Four Quadrants - Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 (work related - example here). Had taken this course a number of years ago and it looks to orientating one into a more ideal Q2. Some people (self included), due to the nature of their work, have difficulties shifting out from Q1 - in fact on the one hand, the employer may offer this thinking to help shift one from Q1 to Q2 (and certainly out of Q3 and Q4), and on the other hand the very nature of the job makes it near impossible (Q1 is reactive), which is a bit of a contradiction that, and they know it.
Anyway, this is Q business is blended into the course, however the focus remained on the 7 Habits.
Overall it was a good experience and it was fun interacting with others.
