Have you ever met someone so wrapped up in pointing out and “fixing” someone else’s weaknesses that she’s blind to her own flaws? Ever met someone who blames everyone and everything under the sun for his problems without taking any ownership? Ever met someone who’s claimed her lousy mood is your fault? Frustrating, right?! This is one of my favorites! So what does it mean to be proactive, and why would we start here? Being proactive means taking responsibility for your words and actions, taking initiative to meet your goals, and taking a leadership role to help others along. For students attending the Summits at Harvard, this is a sneak peak of what’s on-deck this summer! As you read below, consider which of these habits come easily to you and where you have room to grow. We start with the Private Victory because you must first help yourself before you can help others. The first section of Sean Covey’s book and The 7 Habits workshop cover what’s called The Private Victory, the three habits that spark personal growth. Take it from someone who didn’t start learning and living these habits until adulthood, I wish I had learned about them as a teen. In a larger sense, though, it is a guide for how to live effectively and purposefully. If you’re new to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, the book presents a framework for teenagers to improve personal and interpersonal habits. You can learn more about The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by checking out the FranklinCovey website.
This workshop uses the powerful book written by Sean Covey along with complementary learning materials.
During these Summits, students will attend a leadership workshop called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Today, we’re focusing on the Leadership in Action Summits at Harvard University. Be sure to check back each week to preview our Summits: their activities, university campuses, and host cities. As we prepare for the 2020 Summits, we’re brimming with anticipation and can’t wait to share some of the amazing opportunities students can look forward to this summer.
