CHANGE STARTS WITHIN ! "Inside-Out" approach to effectiveness which is based on principles and characters. Personality ethic shifts to character ethic.

1. The habits
of highly effective people

2. H abits have a treme ndous gravity pull

3. Lift off takes a lot of effort,
but once we break out of the gravity pull,
our freedom takes on a whole new dimension

4. Ready for take off ?

5. Habit 1:
Be proactive
“You are respons-able: able to choose your respons!”

6. Circle of Concern
We have a wide range of
concerns, but not all of them
fall into our circle of influence
Circle of influence

7. “Proactive people focus their efforts in their circle of
influence, causing the circle of influence to increase
Reactive people focus their effort in the circle of concern.
The negative energy generated by that focus causes the
circle of influence to shrink”

8. “Anytime we think the problem is out there,
that thought is the problem”

9. You can choose your language
Reactive:
I must
If only
They made me
If I had
Proactive:
I prefer
I will
I choose
I can be

10. Habit 2:
Begin with the end in mind

12. The key to the ability to change
is a changeless sense of who you are,
what you are about and what you value

13. Is the script you are living in harmony with your values?

14. Habit 3:
Put first things first

16. The key to time
management is not to
prioritize what’s on
your schedule but to
schedule your
priorities

17. It’s almost impossible to say NO to the popularity
of urgent, non important matters, if you don’t
have a bigger YES burning inside

18. “Things which matter most should never be at
the mercy of things which matter least”
Goethe

19. Habit 4: Think Win/win

20. “You can only achieve win/win solutions
with win/win processes”

21. It’s not your way or my way, it’s a better way

22. Habit 5:
Seek first to understand,
then to be understood

24. “We have such a tendency to fix things up with
good advice, but often we fail to take the time to
diagnose, to really deeply understand another
human being first”

25. Reading your own autobiography
into other people’s lives
is nót (even close to) listening

26. Habit 6:
Synergize
“The whole is greater
than the sum of its parts”

27. “When we are left to our own experiences,
we constantly suffer from a shortage of data”

28. “The person who is truly effective has the humility to recognize his own
perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available
through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings”

29. In order to have influence,
you have to open yourself up
to bé influenced

30. Habit 7:
Sharpen the Saw

31. Read, write, relax, exercise, play, love, get involved, meditate …

32. “Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from
little things … I am tempted to think … there are no little things”
Bruce Barton
