The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers

There is an increasing awareness that ‘learning to learn’ is of paramount importance and that learners need to be equipped with the appropriate tools and have the appropriate qualities nurtured and developed if they are to enjoy a good quality of life as well as to be able to pass exams. It has been said that our habits make or break us. If our habits are positive then the opportunity to perform well in all areas of life are increased. 

What will learners get? 

Introduction to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers® workshops from FranklinCovey, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Sean Covey and the No. 1 best-selling business book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, gives young people a set of proven tools to deal successfully with real life. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers are essentially seven characteristics that happy and successful teenagers the world over have in common. Habits 1, 2, and 3 deal with self-mastery, called the “private victory.” Habits 4, 5, and 6 deal with relationships and teamwork, or the “public victory. ” The last habit, Habit 7, is the habit of renewal. It feeds all the other six habits. 

How does it work?
