This programme is so helpful for teenagers. It is particularly useful during Transition Year in schools in Ireland. It can be easily incorporated into the school curriculum, become part of youth club activities, or just be a stand-alone for individuals or small groups. Either way, it is pure magic. So here isbrief idea of what the 7 Habits programme isall about:

Habit 1 Be Pro-active:

This habit is about taking responsibility for your life. Deciding whether you want to be pro-active or re-active. You will begin to realize that some habits will not serve you well. Its about taking back control of your life.

Habit 2 -Begin with the end in mind:

This is about learning how to set goals. Its about developing your own mission in life. You will identify the things that you want to do but just dont know how to go about it. Learning how to develop your own goals which means you will will be motivated towards what you really want.

Habit 3 Put first things first:

This about getting real about time management and identifying what is really important to you, learning how to priotitise and geting the important things done first.

Habit 4 Think Win-Win:

This is about developing a win-win-attitude. This will affect your relationships whether with parents or friends. Often thinking win-win creates a great result for everyone. Its about thinking outside the box.

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

Listening skills are not normally something that is taught. Yet, how can we expect our ideas to have an impact unless we learn to listen first..

Habit 6 Synergize:

This is about working together to achieve more. Imagine a rock band without the drummer. It just wouldnt be the same! It would lack synergy.

Habit 7 Sharpen the Saw:

This is all about body, mind, and spirit. Nutrition, self-image, rest, relaxation and continually improving yourself. Its about realizing that you have talents and identifying your passion in life.

Testimonial:

We found the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers to be very helpful especially the first habit about being proactive and not just reactive. This really helped the lads to reflect on situations in their own lives and enabled them to take ownership of the choices they make (Dublin Youth Club)

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers programme helps teenagers really get to grips with life skills and the knowledge that they can be the successful peopel they want to be. Its practical, inspirational and gives real hope for a positive future. Highly recommeded course.
