7 Habits Journey

Do you hope for future success but are unsure how to achieve it? Are your efforts to improve falling short? Are you interested in unleashing the creativity, talent, and energy within you and others? We may want success and change, but most of us feel that we either lack support or knowledge. Dr. Stephen R. Covey spent his life helping individuals achieve their potential.

The 7 Habits Journey is a 1-credit personal development class for students designed to help you achieve your potential. The content of the class is foundational and the approach to learning is cutting edge. The learning process consists of three parts:

1. Personal Reflection

At the personal level, participants work through reflection activities contained in canvas modules to define who they are, what they value most in life, and who they want to become.

2. Experiential Lab

Thomas Jefferson said, “what we learn to do, we learn by doing.” Each week, all 7 Habits Journey participants meet together to learn and practice the 7 Habits through experiential exercises. These exercises help equip students with the tools and habits for success.

3. Habit Groups

The third component of the 7 Habits Journey is weekly small group meetings in “Habit Groups." Led by a facilitator, these groups offer a safe space for students to discuss their successes and failures in applying the 7 Habits. At the end of each meeting, students set a goal for how they want to improve in the coming week, and then they follow up with each other at the beginning of the following meeting. The small size of the groups helps foster an environment where trust and vulnerability can be shared among the members.
