That's a great, yeah, such a great question. So obviously reading the book, this book has sold over 40 million copies. It's just, it blows my mind. It's translated into, I think, 38 different languages now around the world, 40 million copies, and continues to sell thousands of copies every month. So we can read it.

But in the work sessions, we dive deep. It's two days worth of content that can be delivered, concentrated over two days back to back, spread out, virtual, on demand. And in the work sessions, we go in and study a particular habit. Let me back up here. The most significant thing about learning any habit is But particularly the seven habits is something we call the see-do-get model.

It's our paradigms. The way we see things influences everything we do. And of course, we know what we do gives us the results we get. But what is so powerful about developing any habit is backing up and saying, wait a minute, am I seeing this situation, this person, this relationship accurately? Or am I seeing it how I'm just convinced myself that it is?

For example, if I'm a micromanager, I bet people are familiar with micromanagement. If I'm a micromanager, how do I see my people? Well, I probably see them as incompetent. So I got to do everything for them or I got to criticize, hover over, triple check. And if that's what I do, what kind of results do we get? Poor, mediocre at best. And then I see those poor results.

So to your question, with each habit, we start out with a paradigm. Habit one, be proactive. An ineffective paradigm might be, hey, this is just the way things are. There's not much I can do about it.
