Teach to Learn
Teach a brief overview of the 7 Habits to a friend or family member. Do this within 48 hours because you lose too much of the learning after that. You don’t need to be formal. It’s best to stay simple and casual, and use your own words.
Step 1: Study the concept. Review the 7 Habits Leadership Continuum.
Step 2: Teach the concept.
1. Video yourself teaching from memory the 7 Habits to a friend in less than 5 minutes.
2. Explain why habits 1, 2 and 3 are called the “Private Victory,” while Habits 4, 5 and 6 are called the “Public Victory.”
3. As you teach, draw the 7 Habits Leadership Continuum by hand.
Step 3: Apply the concept. Share a personal example or insight into how one or more of the habits has applied to your life.
