You’re Going to be “Off Track” 90% of the Time. So What?

Page 3: Seven habits of highly effective families

Good families – even great families – are off track 90% of the time. The key is that they have a sense of destination. They know what the

“track” looks like. And they keep coming back to it time and time again.

Page 4: Seven habits of highly effective families

The key is in having a destination, a flight plan, and a

compass.

Invest the next few minutes in this presentation, and you will be given the most valuable tools ever to find your

destination for your family.

Have the end in mind:

A Beautiful Family Culture

HABIT 1

BE PROACTIVE

Page 7: Seven habits of highly effective families
Page 8: Seven habits of highly effective families

We do not have to love.

We choose to love.

We do not have to love.

We choose to love.

Page 9: Seven habits of highly effective families

To do carefully and constantly and kindly many little things is not a little thing.

Page 10: Seven habits of highly effective families

The way you treat any relationship in the family

will eventually affect every relationship in the

family.

Page 11: Seven habits of highly effective families

HABIT 2

BEGIN WITH THE

END IN MIND

Page 12: Seven habits of highly effective families

Create a clear,

compelling vision of what you and your

family are all about.

Page 13: Seven habits of highly effective families

A family mission statement is a combined, unified expression from all family members of what your family is all about and the principles you choose to govern your family life.

Page 14: Seven habits of highly effective families

For the most part, families don’t have the kind of mission statement so critical to organizational success. Yet the family is the most important, fundamental organization in the world.

Page 15: Seven habits of highly effective families

Through a family mission statement you can let your children know that you are totally committed to them, and that you have been from the very moment of their birth or adoption.

HABIT 3

PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

Page 17: Seven habits of highly effective families

Making Family a Priority in a

Turbulent World

Page 18: Seven habits of highly effective families

“Okay, now, I know what you’re going to hear from people is “We don’t have the time. But if you don’t have the time for one night or at least one hour during the week where everybody can

come together as a family, then the family is not the priority.”

~ Oprah Winfrey ~

Page 19: Seven habits of highly effective families

Things which matter the most must never be at the mercy of things

which matter least.

Page 20: Seven habits of highly effective families

The place to start is not with the assumption that work is non-negotiable; it’s with the assumption that family is non-negotiable. That one shift of mind-set opens the door to all kinds of creative possibilities.

Page 21: Seven habits of highly effective families

The role of parents is a

unique one, a sacred

stewardship in life. Is there really

anything that would outweigh

the importance of fulfilling that

stewardship well?

Page 22: Seven habits of highly effective families

HABIT 4

THINK “WIN~WIN”

Page 23: Seven habits of highly effective families

Moving from

“Me” to

“We”

Page 24: Seven habits of highly effective families

The question is this: “Would you

be willing to search for a

solution that is better than what

either of us is now proposing?”

Page 25: Seven habits of highly effective families

The commitment is this: “Let me listen to you

first” or “Help me understand.”

Page 26: Seven habits of highly effective families

The principle is this: What is important to

another person must be as

important to you as the other

person is to you.

Page 27: Seven habits of highly effective families

Parenting is not about being popular and giving in to every child’s whim and desire. It’s about

making decisions that truly are win-win – however they may appear to the child

at the time.

Page 28: Seven habits of highly effective families

HABIT 5

SEEK FIRST TO

UNDERSTAND…THEN

TO BE UNDERSTOOD

Page 29: Seven habits of highly effective families

Solving family problems through emphatic

communication

Page 30: Seven habits of highly effective families
Page 31: Seven habits of highly effective families

There’s no way to have rich, rewarding family relationships without real

understanding

Page 32: Seven habits of highly effective families

Most mistakes with family members are not the result of bad intent. It’s just that

we really don’t understand. We don’t see clearly into one another’s hearts.

Page 33: Seven habits of highly effective families

When you understand…

You don’t judge.

Page 34: Seven habits of highly effective families

Each person needs to be loved in his or her own special way. They

key to making deposits,

therefore, is to understand – and

to speak – that person’s language

of love

Page 35: Seven habits of highly effective families

The technique of emphatic listening is just the tip of the iceberg. The great mass of the iceberg is a deep and sincere desire to truly understand.

Page 36: Seven habits of highly effective families

HABIT 6

SYNERGIZE

Page 37: Seven habits of highly effective families

Building family unity through celebrating differences

Page 38: Seven habits of highly effective families

You must be able to say sincerely, “The fact that we see things differently is a

strength – not a weakness – in our relationship.

Page 39: Seven habits of highly effective families

Once you realize that each

problem is asking for a

response instead of just

triggering a reaction, you start to learn. You become a

learning family.

Page 40: Seven habits of highly effective families

HABIT 7

SHARPEN THE SAW

Page 41: Seven habits of highly effective families

Renewing the family

spirit through

traditions

Page 42: Seven habits of highly effective families

Every family must take time to renew itself in the four key areas of life: physical,

social, mental, and spiritual.

Page 43: Seven habits of highly effective families

If you organize your family life to spend ten or fifteen minutes a morning reading something that

connects you to timeless principles, you will make better choices during the day – in the family, on the job, in every dimension of life.

Page 44: Seven habits of highly effective families

Sharpening the saw is the highest leverage activity in life because it affects everything else so powerfully

Page 45: Seven habits of highly effective families

From Survival…To stability…To Success…To Significance

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: The only ones among you who will really be happy are those

who have sought and found how to serve. ~ Albert Schweitzer ~
