Hey, oh, by the way, do you guys still get discount tickets to that ski thing? And it was so funny, Heather, because I thought you took 45 minutes. I would have been okay if you'd called and said, hey, Todd, I feel so bad we haven't connected for years, and I'd love to do that. I wanted to find out if you still get discount tickets, and I also want to set up lunch, but instead we did this dance.
So that would be an example of making not a very sincere deposit emotional account with the intent of taking a withdrawal. In the course, we do this activity that's really powerful.
You think about an important relationship in your life, professional or personal, and then you go through on this document and you document the last five interactions you had with that person, whatever it was, the last five interactions. You've got to really think about it, and then you've got to think about how you think that person felt. Well, for mine, I picked my spouse.
Many people pick professional relationships. I picked my spouse because I had been traveling a lot. I'd been gone a lot. And the last five interactions were like quick phone call, quick goodbye. And how did she feel? Dismissed, rushed, whatever. And boy, you look at that.
And then we ask the question, this important relationship, what if we were to multiply those last five interactions, say 50 times or 500 times, what would be the impact of
on that relationship and so we talk all about this with you know the level of trust you have in a relationship and kind of putting the brakes on things and saying i'm going to be a little bit more thoughtful about the interactions i have with the most important people in my life so trust is really i think the key to every one of the habits that we're talking about here
Exactly. Exactly. We follow up by that. I don't want to be giving the whole course here. I mean, I know we don't have time for that, but we follow that activity by in the class. We say, OK, we're going to take five or 10 minutes right now. I want you to make a deposit in the emotional bank account of someone important to you. It could be the person you just did the last five interactions.
And so people take time with their smartphones and they'll send a text or an email to someone. And this happens every time somebody in the class will say, okay, I just got a text back from my partner. And he said, has someone stolen your phone or who is this?
It's terrible and it's kind of humorous as well. But it's the wake up call for a lot of us, whether it's a colleague at work, whether it's someone in our personal lives, to just make sure we're being a little more meaningful with those most important relationships in our life.
Yeah, the book is the book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, one of the best-selling, if not the best-selling business book of all time, 40 million copies sold. The course is two days worth of content. So it's taking each of the habits.
First, we start with some foundational principles, which we talked about paradigms, and we dive deep into our paradigms and how they shape everything we do. And then we go into the habits and we take hours, a couple of hours on each habit with understanding the habit, how to apply it in our current situations at work and at home. And it's taught over two days. It's taught.
concentrated you know like i said it can be two full days back to back live and in person it can be two full days virtually online like we're talking right now we'll have a whole class of you know 20 i just finished a class with 34 people for two days it can be dot spread out sometimes people take a habit a week we get together every week there's an on-demand version so there are modules where i can just do it self-paced every which way
So organizations, we work primarily with organizations of really any size. When I'm thinking of organizations I've worked with, we have about 70 consultants that do what I do. We also have... a certification program where we will certify your own trainers, people in your company, employees of yours that can then continue to roll this out.
A lot of people make it part of their orientation program because seven habits is really can be a great framework for the culture of any organization. So people will usually choose to say, okay, I want to have this team go through 7 Habits and we'll pilot it here and then we might roll it out to other teams within the organization.
So there's a lot of different ways that people decide to deploy this based on what they're trying to accomplish. An organization may have a lot of turnover going on and people are understanding really the value that they contribute to the organization. 7 Habits is used a lot for that because we understand our personal worth and what we're doing for the organization.
So it's all about individual effectiveness. We have a role called a client partner. We have people in the organization that can work with your organization to determine, you know, what is the best solution for what you're trying to achieve.
It most, you know, seven happens is a great starting place, but it might be the speed of trust, which is another work session, five choices to extraordinary productivity, the four disciplines of execution. We're big on numbers here. So we have a lot of, a lot of numbers in our titles.
Yeah, thank you for asking. If they'll go to just our website, which is simply our name, www.franklincovey.com. There's a search engine there. They can look up anything and everything. And there's a whole All Access Pass Care team that will respond to them and make sure that they get routed to the right people to find out what they want to accomplish.
Thank you for inviting me. And thanks for those great ideas you shared that I'm going to start using now if they're not copyrighted.
I will do that.
