“end”, you have to take a look at
who YOU are!

something that represents you.
It could be an animal, plant, machine,
a food, etc. Explain why

story about YOU! They interview four

21. Urgency: An activity
is urgent if you or
others feel that it
requires immediate
attention.
Leads to stress and
anxiety
Feeling burnt out
Mediocre
performance
Polly the
Procrastinator’s motto
“I am going to stop
procrastinating…
sometime soon”. Don’t
expect her to study for
a test until the night
before…or expect her
to get gas. She’s too
busy driving.
22. People Pleaser
These things are important
to other people than
yourself
“He who tries to please
everyone pleases no one”
Lack of personal discipline
End up feeling like a
“doormat” for others to
wipe their feet on .
Yanni the Yes-Man’s
motto is
“Tomorrow, I am going to be
more assertive – if that’s OK
with you”. He really didn’t
want to join the swimming
team – he liked art. But his
dad was a swimmer, and, of
course, he didn’t want to let
him down.

the key to failure is trying to please
everyone” -Bill Cosby

Slacker’s credo:
“Why try harder when this is
good enough?”

Polly the Prioritize is
by no means perfect, but she
can balance her
responsibilities with the
things she enjoys and has a
fulfilling, balanced life. She
is not as stressed because she
has nothing and no one
looming over her.

Now let’s go over HOW to plan…
27. Step 1: Identify Your “Rocks”
Ask yourself “What are the most important things I need to do this
week?”
Think about what role you play…student, friend, family member,
worker, individual and whatever else you do.
Then come up with two important things you want to get done in
each role.
28. Step 2: Block Out Time For Your “Big Rocks”
Use a planner to block out time frames where you plan to
complete the tasks you have set
Keeping a list and having it handy helps you from forgetting
Checking things off of your list gives a sense of
accomplishment
29. Step 3: Schedule Everything Else
Once you have your big rocks “booked”,
schedule in all of your other little to-dos, daily
tasks and appointments.
30. Your group will be given a scenario
Your group must write a script on how you would handle the
situation
Choose a leader to keep your group on task
Choose recorders to write out the script (each actor must have their
own copy of the full script)
Choose two “actors” that will play out the sketch in front of the class
You will have 30 minutes to read your scenario and write your script
31. Be sure to ask each other these questions when
writing your scripts:
Is your reaction “proactive” or “reactive”?
Are you thinking with the “end in mind”; what are the
consequences of your actions?
Are you putting first things first? What are your priorities in
your scenario?
What is your desired outcome?
What steps will you take to ensure you get the desired
outcome?

33. 1. Win/Win People can seek mutual benefit in all
human interactions. Principle based behavior.
34. 2. Win/Lose
The competitive
paradigm: if I win, you
lose. The leadership
style is authoritarian.
In relationships, if both
people aren't winning,
both are losing.
35. 3. Lose/Win
The "Doormat" paradigm. The individual seeks strength from
popularity based on acceptance. The leadership style is
permissiveness.
36. 4. Lose/Lose When
people become obsessed with making the other person lose, even at their
own expense.
38. 6. Win/Win or No Deal
If we can't find a mutually beneficial solution, we agree to disagree
agreeably no deal. This approach is most realistic at the beginning of a
business relationship or enterprise. In a continuing relationship, it's no
longer an option.

40. We often prescribe before making a proper diagnosis when
communicating. We should first take the time to deeply
understand the problems presented to us. Skills of empathic
listening must be built on a character that inspires openness and
trust and high emotional bank accounts.
41. We should be using the fifth, highest form of listening empathic
listening. Empathic listening is listening with intent to understand
the other person's frame of reference and feelings. You must listen
with your ears, your eyes.
42. Diagnose Before You Prescribe.
An effective salesperson seeks to understand the needs, concerns and situation
of the customer. An amateur sells products, the professional sells solutions.
Empathic listening takes time, but not as much time as backing up and
correcting misunderstandings, including living with problems and the results of
not giving.

easily.
Inspiration level of individuals goes up.
It helps to broaden and improve communication,
It increase individual’s efficiency.
48. Synergy is almost as if a group collectively agree to
subordinate old scripts and write a new one.
Synergy is the power of the whole versus the part of
a system working Independently.

its parts.
