7Habits Participant - WABAG - March 2010
Our sincere appreciation to you from all participants, self & Management for giving LEX 2010-Wabag's flagship prog on Leadership Excellence a flying start, with your valuable insights & inputs, methodology adopted in conducting the signature program - 7 Habits truly energizing, focussed & relevant & making the interactions an enriching experience.
Your ability to connect the signature program, with your introduction on research findings on Leadership building globally & getting the buy in from the participants was indeed commendable.
We believe the participants will now get fully into sharing the learnings with members of their teams & start practicing this in their daily lives.
Going through the 360 survey, I find the findings very apt for all those who took efforts to complete their group of 9. We now need to take this forward with a road map of individual development plan on areas they need to work on, when we start their Executive coaching session after the 2nd program.

I am convinced that the great reviews are because of the Program content - so relevant and realistic - everyone relates to it. Appreciate your continuous support on this important initiative.
Leadership Workshop Participant - OPI - January 2010
I was drafting a mail an hour back for that wonderful training and there you are ahead of us. That what great leaders are all about.
I have a lot of queries on my understanding, not on the training. I will start unwinding those as and when I complete a chapter. Hope that's fine.
I read a lot of spiritual/philosophical books, trying to link what I've learnt there and what was trained by you last week. Will come out with questions if it's within the scope of the follow up... Or else, I'll have to extend the trust with you that you have built in the past 3 days!!
Thanks once again. A memorable one indeed.

This one has been extremely impactful. Reiterates quite a few of the basics and forces tons of introspection.
7Habits Participant - Druk Holding & Investment Ltd - December 2009
I am very delighted to have attended the training on 7 habits of highly effective people and for that, i thank my Director for the opportunity given ton for the wonderful and interactive worshop that he presented. It was really helpful and realistic.
Some of the important things that mattered most to me are:
1. Be Proactive:
I shall henceforth plan in advance what i will be doing in the next day, week and the month.I shall have my daily,weekly and the monthly schedule prepared and also suggest my colleagues and the juniors to maintain such pre-schedules.
2. Understand to be understood:
Never give my comments, feedbacks, suggestions,ideas,etc before knowing the full and the exact story and try to maintian a win-win situation for both parties.
3. Be in Quadrant II matrix and try to maintain my position in it for eternity.
Hope the workshop i attended creates a win-win situation for Me and the Franklincovey team.
7Habits Train The Trainer Participant - Wipro - December 2009
It was fantastic having you over at Wipro. The expectations I had and the apprehensions I came with were suitably cleared and am certain the journey of 7 habits is going to be a revealing one from me.
7Habits Train The Trainer Participant - Wipro - December 2009
This is to put on record the successful completion of TTT at Wipro. Appreciate the hard work the master trainer has put during the 3 days at Wipro. He was able to strike a chord with all the trainers at Wipro and he was able to not only live but exceed our expectations.
The number of examples he gave were so many for each habit that I think the trainers may not be able to exhaust them in one or two years. The examples also had good variety. Some were light and some in depth that can be used by trainers depending on the type of participants.
Since most trainers were very senior trainers it was not easy for someone to match their level but the master trainer was able to show them ways they will need to mould themselves to meet the structure and process of 7 Habits program very nicely.
Lastly I would like to mention that the master trainers showed tremendous patience to ensure that each trainer gets the concepts clear even while other trainers who understood were trying to push thru in some situations.
Wipro looks forward to working closely with FranklinCovey. Wish you all a very merry Christmas and our wishes are with you as you grow Franklin Covey and meet your vision.
7Habits Managers Participant - Tafe - December 2009
Programme was a very good experience for me and has thrown a new approach in working atmosphere. I have come to know some of very usefull tools in Resource Founder, work compass, Third alternative finder & work compass .Though I was aware of Priority quadrants but fact is that most of time was being spent on Q3 & Q4, where as I should not have been spending even a second in Q4.
I am very much thank full for this wonder full experience to you. However in the back of mind, there is although that I may loose track or these learning's may take back seat, when we get back to our daily routine.
But with your mails, reminders I am sure that I will be able to inculcate these learnings into my habbit so that these things become routine for me.
7Habits Participant - Cognizant - December 2009
It was really a great and very learning experience. 7 habits are very much capable of changing the confidence,outlook and effectiveness of a person.
My experience is very good so far. 7 habits is really helping me a lot. Now i am allocated to a project. So a lot of pressure and at the same time i have to continue my study on the respective domain. But let me tell you these simple 7 habits is helping me a lot to strike a balance between my personal life and professional life. Not only this it helps alot to improve the quality of your professional as well as professional life. A sense of confidence i am feeling.It also helps in building a healthy professional relationship with my office colleague.
So thanks a lot for giving me the oppurtuinity for becoming a part of this highly effective and learning session which will definitely help me throughout my life.
7Habits Participant - Eppendorf India - December 2009
It has been a wonderful experience in the past weeks that took me through several thought processes with very well designed tools to sharpen my abilities to become an effective Manager. Though initially I had my routine which did not allow me sufficient time to use the tools, I made sure that unless I start with, I am not in the path of getting to be an effective manager. This thought has made me use few of the tools that has now become my routine.
Of all the seven habits, I am very much impressed and experiencing with Habit 5 and Habit 6, namely Seek first to Understand and then to be Understood and Synergize. But overall it was a very different experience and I really enjoyed the entire course.
7Habits Participant - Reed Elsevier - December 2009
I would like to thank you for the excellent workshop which helped to rediscover myself. Three takeaways from the workshop includes few practices which I would like to implement both in personal and work place:
- Implementing and understanding empathetic approach in my work place and personal life
- Prioritizing and planning both in work and personal life. Focusing on implementation of Quadrant 2.
- I would say above all having mission for myself and how I want my friends, colleagues and relatives to look at me after I retire or a certain period of time. I would want all of them to speak and think good about me - would like to work towards that as a goal.
7Habits Participant - Bhutan Government - December 2009

7Habits Participant - Crompton Greaves Limited - December 2009
Thanks, really this is a very great and useful workshop.
It will help me to enhance my performance excellence.
All the 7 habits are very useful and I am committed to implement all.
7Habits Participant - DBS - December 2009
The 7 habits training has changed my perspective in terms of looking at things, and how to be organized in life, to believe in actual facts rather than perceptions.
Thank you for enlightening me.
Focus Workshop Participant from Clariant - December 2009
Thank you! The programme was fruitful...very well structured format by the Covey team. Nice to have such programme made available to employees to better their performance.

At the outset, once again on behalf of my colleagues in TMTL, I wish to thank FranklinCovey and especially you for the wonderful program devised and imparted to us on The 7 Habits for Managers and on Closing The Execution Gap.
We assure you of the effective implementation of our learning through this program.
Tafe participant of 7Habits for Managers - November 2009
Programme was very useful. Infact we have used the tool
"Hidden Resource Finder" in a workshop held in Rajasthan with our team and dealer team.
Quite interesting.
Thanks and Regards
7Habits Participant - Delta Energy Systems - October 2009
Accept my heartiest thanks for imparting such a great learning, touching our hearts, and guiding us to face personal and professional choices with confidence and dignity.
The complete course content has been a wonderful learning experience.
7 Habits Participant - Bank Alfalah Ltd. in Pakistan - Oct 09
The program was a wonderful experience for me and I have not only benefitted a lot from it but it has also improved my thinking about professional and personal effectiveness. The most impressive features which I am focusing on are:
- Understanding the other person's views
- Prioritizing issues with the Time Matrix by realizing the difference between urgency and importance of tasks
- Focusing on personal weaknesses and working on ways to overcome those
TAFE HR Department - Feedback given in September, workshop conducted in August 2009
I would like to share with you that this particular program of 7 Habits has had a very high recall in terms of its content. I have even observed that participants keep discussing amongst each other some of the points that were taught when they meet each other till date. Some of them are sincerely trying to practice what the program has taught them in their daily lives.

Leadership Program - PWC Participant - August 2009
It was a wonderful programme over the 3 days in August... I thoroughly enjoyed the learnings, which according to me have only started.
I think the course is very well designed and thought through - It is very much practice-oriented, considering that we have a defined action plan for the next 6 months!
I intend to vehemently implement the action plan over the next 6 months and make the programme my 'muscle memory'!
7 Habits of Highly Effective People - PWC Participant - August 2009
I wanted to thank you personally for spending three wonderful days with us. The sessions made us reflect on what we do and what we should do better. I hope to implement the learnings over the next six months and expect to be in regular touch with you.
7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Airtel Participant - August 2009
Definitely its one of the best training programme I have ever had in my last 10 years of professional experience, I enjoyed every bit of it and i am confident it would transform my life.....
Focus Program - Deutsche Bank Participant - August 2009
I had the good fortune of attending the FOCUS session you conducted this Month.
Its been exactly 21 days and my 25th hour is becoming a reality. The planner is useful, I tend to fall back on it a lot. I am not using it to its fullest capacity, but I'm getting there. Drafting the top three governing values wasn't easy.
Honestly, the program has stayed with me and I find it adding more perspective to my original planning style.
I hope to write back to you (and I will) when my values are well defined and my planning success rate (yes I am measuring it) is higher than 98%.
Coach Training Participant - July 2009
First of all let me express my sincere delight for knowing that I have the opportunity to connect with you for life time where you will be my Mentor Coach. I am truly happy for this privilege.
I actually thought when I signed for this program that the fees are really very very high. But today I feel it otherwise. The value of learning cannot be calculated in terms of money. But by our human standards if it has to be money, then your commitment and structure is far more valuable. I mean it.
Thanks for your guidance about the assignments coming to me. I have taken all the due note and shall act strictly accordingly.
Sir, I have one more thought to share with you. It is absolutely nice to know that one must be Mindful. But how??? And I have shared this concern with quite a number of managers in the HR area. It is well known that Self Awareness is the building block of learning but in all the programs that I have attended including the ones by TMI and other organizations, I found the foundation very weak.
I am all open to make a presentation with your team of trainers for a day, if you feel it prudent. This is coming out of great insight I had when I did the 7 Habits Program. I have understood that my mission is "To Create an Emotionally Intelligent Society". Earlier I had this block that people will copy my presentations and I will become redundant, now this fear is getting lesser and lesser, although to be true, not gone all together.
I just remember a autograph one of my classmates had jotted in my slam book in class 10th. It reads, " Knowledge is proud that it knows so much, Wisdom is humble that it knows no more". You truly exemplify this glory.
Thanks a lot again.
Toyota Motors Participant for 7Habits for Managers workshop - August 09
The following points are the top areas which I started following as a priority after my training.
1) Put the First Things First.
For this I am using the Time Matrix tool and Work compass. I started from 10th Aug. '09 only. I will continue the same.
2) Circle of Influence.
I started focusing on What I /We can do with our R & I instead of excuses. In the beginning the response from my team was not encouraging, but week by week steady progress happening.Since for all concern issues I started with the sheet Hidden resource finder, my team also slowly following this.
3) First to understand, then to be understood.
I started listening more now, instead of imposing my ideas on my team. Through this, our colleagues and subordinates share frankly there ideas and follow them seriously that will assure the results.
4) No need to manage the people, People manage themselves.
I am making my expectations and guideline to follow, Making people follow their own style to meet the expectations following the given guidelines.
Like this my journey started step by step.
Deutsche Bank AG Participant - August 2009
Thanks for the wonderful session we had last week on 7 Habits. This was definitely a different training / workshop I had ever attended which has / will have an impact on my professional as well as personal life.
Medtronic Participant July 2009
I would like to state that this was one of the best workshop ever I had attened durig my career. This has given lots of Heights and insight about the habits.
All the 7 habits are equally important but some interesting or either way I can put that this three are more need to practice in my life 1) Be proactive, 2)Put First things First, 3) Seek to understand then to be understood.
I should Practice these habits to make myself to change the views about the professional and personal life.
TITAN Participant - June 2009
7 Habits program was just "Excellent!." Usefulness of 7 Habits and its understanding. Video examples shown in the program are so close to life for every human. Hence the habits and learning's are now in practice.
Cognizant Participant - May 2009
This indeed making positive change in my personal & professional life.
Keeping regular practice of habits will take longer time to adjust but results so-far are comparable with past.
Many thanks for follow-up and making me part of the communication.
Public Program Participant - May 2009
After the FranklinCovey workshop, I have found a sea change in myself. Now, even when my boss spits fire on me, I choose to convert the flames to icy breeze because I can choose to have my own stimulus!
I have also started focusing on my circle of influence.
I dont back bite others because FranklinCovey says not to do so and I feel guilty about it.
Above all, I am at great peace with my self, inspite of so much of work pressure, I am happy, because I choose to be so.
COGNIZANT PARTICIPANT - APRIL 09
The experience has been good.
I carried out the planned actions (7 Habits Contract) for week 1 & Week 2 as well. Currently in Week 3.
I listened to the AUDIO CD once (as part of Week 1 activity) - and that was a very good recap of the training.
I felt that we should hear it every week if possible - for a period of time - so that the advice gets ingrained in us.
If we are able to do that, then after some time, each time we deviate from the 'habits' our inner voice (or Covey's voice for that matter) would immediately remind us to put the 'habit' to practice.
We can also keep a measure of how many times we deviated from the 'habits', and then try to reduce it to ZERO every week / day / hour...
Metrics maintained this way, should clearly 'discipline' us to follow the habits, and make us effective.
I am tracking my progress on the 7 habits contract on the site itself.
7 Habits Participant - April 09
Thanks for your follow up.
As a participant I am more than convinced about your conviction shown in the strong follow up system. This is amazing... Kudos for this.
UNDP PARTICIPANT APRIL 2008 - KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Thanks for your email, following up about my life's best practice (7 Habits). Life now seems interesting for me, I plan each week in advance, try to make this practice as my habit and I was teaching it to my family, relatives and friends.
My next habit starts next week and I will try my best to implement it into my practical life.
Thank you so much for your interesting teaching and guidance.
GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Participant - Feb 09
There are many learnings from this workshop. This workshop is the best I have attended so far.
1) Do not look towards others for everything you want to do it. i.e. increase the diameter of inner circle of influence.
2) Write a personnel mission statement to reach out there, without any deviation in the path.
3) I would like to transform myself to be more effective human being than what I was. I would like use the 7th habit as a guideline for this.
7 Habits Participant in Mumbai workshop - Feb 09 from Barbados, West Indies
I wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for your guidance in the 7 Habits course. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope that we maintain contact going forward.
The experience will always be a part of my memories having attended the course in India, a boast that very few can match from my side of the world.
Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India(ACMA) - Feb 2009
Thank you very much for your presentation on Leadership, and subsequent interaction with ACMA Young Leaders Forum, at the programme, Response to Recession, on February 10, 2009.
Your style of presentation has deeply impressed the ACMA-YBLF members. Your emphasis on leadership, has left a deep impact on members.
May I request you to kindly e-mail us a copy of your presentation as it was quite enlightening.
We, at YBLF, deeply value your thoughts on Recession that the auto component industry is facing presently.
You shared your experiences and made several interesting observations that were very much appreciated.
On behalf of the members of the ACMA-YBLF and on my personal behalf, I thank you once again for spending time with us. I have received excellent feedback from the members that your ideas were stimulating, insightful and useful and there is already a unanimous request that we should have more sessions like this, as we all have benefited from this opportunity.
Your interaction with members has deeply impressed all of us.
Thank you again.
Clariant Chemicals Participant - Feb 2009
Thank you very much for your support & hand holding.
The training was great, while this 7 week process has been equally rewarding.
Yes, changing PARADIGM, has changed behavior and given me results. More so, it makes everyone around me positive and happy.
Clariant Chemicals Participant - Feb 2009
At the outset, let me thank you on behalf of all my colleagues for the enlightening experience during the 3-day training on Greatness from 2nd to 4th February at Lonavala.
The reason that I never tire to repeatedly sit through 3 days of 7 Habits or Greatness because each time, I experience a new dimension and perspective of these profound subjects.
Your teaching style and methodology takes us to an altogether new high!
What stands out in your technique is the incisiveness of your approach and the depth to which your scalpel goes into the concepts without touching the raw nerve! The ease with which you are able to delve deep into the recesses of -meanings-, leaves the participant basking in the bliss of the profoundness of each idea! It is this depth of understanding the true meaning that brings out to the participant the richness & wealth of a concept.
Essentially, there are two approaches while teaching -breadth & depth. Both are necessary. However, the aim of teaching being basically to enable the participants to quickly grasp meaning, time and speed is of essence. Since time is short, speed becomes critical. While aiming for speed, one must be mindful of the risk of derailment. And while going deep one cannot get lost in the depth.
The ease with which you have taught us through a balance of speed, depth and quality makes your effort remarkable with a distinct technique & style.
I am looking forward to participating in many more programs with you.
May your path be always lit by the Great ones.
CRISIL Limited - Feedback post the Leadership Program
The feedback received from subordinates and peers in the form filled before the session was quite enlightning and helps in correcting any errors in ones style of functioning.
After the session, have signed up a contract of deliverables with my team which helps increase focus on critical areas. Have instructed them to do the same with their subordinates.
The process of mentoring gives more scope to learn due to the constant exchange of ideas and helps build on relationship/s.
Clariant 7Habits Participant
The program was excellent and has provided deep insight of Personal and Professional goals, way forward, in life. Many participants said that they hoped they attended this program atleast 10 years ago.

Ericsson Participant - Oct 2008
Let me take this opportunity to tell you personally that I had great 2 days of training, something that leaves me with the thought "The two days taught me that the years may not have".
Now that I find myself looking down the path of introspection & action there is a lot which may come to mind during the next few weeks and in that regard may I trouble you by speaking or better still meeting if convenient to you.
Finally it was a pleasure.
Agilent Participant
I received the planning kit and thanks for the same. When I just started using it and when I started planning for this week, before planning I was under the impression that this week will be exhaustive to me going to be very busy in customer calls and pending works. After 20 minute planning, I am still left with one day i.e Friday will be leasure for me if I complete all my works as planned. This is something great I felt hence I am writing this mail.
More to add, the hard copy is very good I realized the importance and CD version may be limited with respect to few goal reviews etc.
Agilent Participant
The good news to share with you, I won the Franklin Covey Golden Goose Award amongst the three winners. Thanks a lot for all your guidance, mentoring & showing me path for this journey.

Reliance Participant for ICT - September 2008
Heartfelt Greetings!!!
From the bottom of my heart and soul I would like to express my feelings regarding the ICT program I attended recently.
Me, being the spiritual being and so much inspired by the buddhas like Buddha, Mahavir, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Osho, Socrates, Ron Hubbard... the list is endless.
Until I attended this program I thought and felt all the training programs lack seriously something...they are incomplete somehow. First time in my corporate life I felt this program is so much in congruence with the teachings of buddhas so holistic and insightful...i don't have words to express my gratefulness...
All the trainers and the coordinators were so amazingly humble, committed and wise enough to enable us to look at training and coaching with fresh perspective. Am thankful to all the participants also. It's a great encouragement to me.
Up till now I felt I was wasting my time by not attending this program. I would like to further enhance my journey on this path and like to attend the subsequent programs.

HCL Participants - 7 Habits Workshop - July 2008
- It was a real great learning experience. I feel, we came closer to our own life by way of writing personal mission statement and got opportunity to acquire skill sets thru this training to achieve the same.
- Let us drive our life ourselves and create a WIN WIN situation all the times and come out of paradigm.
- The 3 day workshop was one of its kind unique experience which attempted to make me a better human being (though there is a long way to go but at least I have started thinking in that direction).There was a lot of thrust on implementation than purely knowledge sharing, which made it unique and therefore been able to brush up things swiftly (sharpening the saw). Probably a lot I already knew in my sub conscious but with a right connect to the 'cause' can now benefit me by brining same knowledge into my conscious now (thanks for the post training following mail to ensure it happens). I would like to thank you for the wonderful training programme and your promise of subsequent support - I shall surely attempt to gain as much as possible at my end.
- It was a fantastic and scientific insight into our own self and while I was sharing some interesting parts of the training with some of my colleagues and friends, every one felt as if they have missed some thing great.
- The training was excellent experience. This is one of the best training I have attended.
With this training my Paradigm shifted totally.
Now most important thing is to implement what we have learned.
I am sure with effective implementation of these 7 habits we will become highly effective people. - Attending the workshop was an experience I could easily put among those like - once in lifetime. I am sure this is going to be a major milestone for my professional and personal lives.
I sincerely thank you for being part of this experience and milestone.
HCL - 7 Habits Workshop Participant - July 2008
Dear [Trainer] & Friends,

We are thankful to [Trainer] & Congratulate HCL HR team for arranging such a excellent training.

We truly enjoyed having you as our enabler for this program.
Personally, I thought this was a fantastic program and have already recommended it to my colleagues/friends. I already see a paradigm shift in the way I interact with people and environment. The challenge for me would be to follow through with these habits in my life and continue to sharpen the saw!
We are already talking about creating our weekly plan starting today and we are so glad you sent the compass to us. We'll keep you updated on our progress.
HOLLAND TRACTERS - Great Leadership Program Participant - July 2008
I want to convey my sincere gratitude to you for the impact you and your training has made to me personally. The training content, the delivery, the interactions and the examples you provided to clarify the subject were really excellent. In normal life you rarely see a person who practices what he preaches. It is heartening to see a person who is actually living the philosophy and the values he believes in, on daily basis, even in mundane affairs.
I was able to relate to so many examples you shared. The fact is that we all know what is to be done but look for short cuts or may be do not exhibit enough courage or that we just want to avoid little inconveniences.
I read a lot. I have my personal library of about 300 books. Off late because of my family and office commitments I do not get much time to read. To overcome this, I have subscribed to a site from where I get a new book summary every week.
I have promised myself to really practice the learning i had from the course. First and foremost being inspiring trust. Also I have decided to spend more time with my family and try to be a Good husband and father.
Thanks for teaching me to become a better human being and great leader.

XL SERVICES Participant - 7Habits Workshop - July 2008
Just believe me I am actually short of words to express the benefits I am getting in professional as well as personal life after attending the workshop. The trainer was great in his job.
Those two days really helped me in introspecting myself. I am feeling very confident after the session.
XL SERVICES Participant- 7Habits Workshop - July 2008
Thank you for the wonderful session on 7 Habits. It was truly an enriching experience, and would surely implement the habits in our day-to-day life.
Ericsson Participant - May 2008
I have been going through the 7 Habits and feel people in the training also trying to inculcate those things in themselves.
I would like to thank to you people and appreciate the endeavor you undertake as it is also a way of improving people's lives.
In today's time as people have unnecessarily entangled their lives, it makes them at least think about their lives and if they want to even sort it out.
Thanks again
Mahindra & Mahindra Participant - May 2008
I would like to share the new changes after this training with you. It is almost two weeks now past the training and I felt some changes in my routine life style and that too after I started the weekly operating plan which I named and started planning what I should target next week and measuring the effectiveness with respect to four quadrants which the trainer thought like urgent, not urgent, important and not important. This really gives the efficiency of your planning and implementation skills which I never used to do it in my earlier days.
Next is the Work Life Balance - Very difficult task but some how I did find some time for my family and specifically with my relatives and that was a most memorable event which I felt.
Now I have donated for poor children for their education which again a new change in my role. I have started teaching this with my Wife and to my Colleagues and they find interesting. To be specific Feb 02.
We created an Emotional Bank Account and at least once a week targeted for deposits.
On a whole this training has changed me a lot in a shorter period and I believe will continue to do the same.
ADITYA BIRLA GROUP Participant - May 2008
It was great having the Franklin Covey trainer with us. He got along really well with all the participants and his missionary zeal and spiritual convictions were a role model for all of us lesser mortals!
I personally feel that opting for the 7Habits for Managers - was a really good idea on your part and it fitted in very well with the rest of the course design.
Please do convey our special thanks to the team and we shall be in touch further.
Lionbridge Participant - Great Leaders (Effectiveness to Greatness) Public Program Mumbai - May 2008
I would like to thank you for the excellent training program conducted by you in the last week.
Your enthusiasm and focus made the program a big success. What I liked most is, your ability to connect the theories to practical world ( while, we, participants came from diverse back ground).
I have studied in prestigious institutes ( IIT, IIM) and also worked in MNCs like HLL where I had attended many training sessions conducted by experts. So, I came with a very high bar. I can say that you crossed the bar.
It is really satisfying to attend a training program where in I could reflect on many important Stephen Covey principles to real world leadership challenges.
I think through this program you added one more intensely loyal customer who can vouch for your excellent quality programs and your NPS will go up.
Ericsson Participant - May 2008
First of all I would like to thank you for delivering The 7 habits of highly effective people training on 2-3rd May 2008 with extreme excellence.
It was an experience of all of us. All the participants appreciated both delivery and content.
Training for this batch was triggered while I got good feedback from one of my team member who had attend the same training in April 2008.
It was really great pleasure that I myself has attended this training along with with my team and I am really impressed and choose to write this mail to you to say thank you.
Sri Lankan - German Development Cooperation(GTZ) - Participant - March 2008
Thank you for sending the constant reminders, to keep improving the 7 habits.
I would like to inform you, that I did learn a lot from the workshop I attended in February.
Another good thing I would like to share with you is my college and I, after we attended the 7 Habits we were asked to do a presentation of what we learnt to the rest in the office. And referring to the notes we got, gave me a reminder on things I should do, and which I had forgotten, and to present the 7 Habits in a half day session, made me focus on things which are really IMPORTAINT in each habit.
And I am very happy because my colleges were highly impressed. On how I presented the 7 habits, and also on how to look at it in a new way.
I just wanted to share with you, my experience.
CISCO PARTICIPANT - FEB 2008
In my view I have never attended as beneficial and as -life changing a course like 7 habits... I relate and use all of these in daily life and that is showing wonderful results. Thanks a lot for your help.
CHAIRMAN AND CEO of a Rs 1000 Crore IT Company - Feb 2008

TATA AIG participant - Feb 2008
Thank you for facilitating the 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People at Bangalore.
The programme has been very well received by the participants and we do sincerely hope that it impacts them both personally and professionally.
Congratulations to you for bringing out the best in them through the programme. They found you very inspiring and adding substantial value during the workshop.
While I was very apprehensive before the programme (as I did not get the opportunity to talk to you earlier), I was rest assured on day1 when I was part of the workshop in the morning that the workshop was being facilitated by a practioner of 7 Habits!
TATA AIG Participant - Jan 2008
Let me first thank you for an excellent program that you had delivered. It was great learning & great fun too. After a long time I had enjoyed a program so much. Incidentally was going through the contract and am trying to live the habits. Have bought the Planner and am trying to inculcate the principles into daily life.
Lodha Group - Leadership Program Participant - Jan 08
Thank you very much for the 3 days. Your openness helped a lot in sharing thoughts.
Have been thinking about the course...it should actually be of 5 to 7 days duration to do justice to the contents. You did a remarkable job of managing within the 3 days.
NOKIA PARTICIPANT - DEC 2007
It was really nice spending those 3 days with you. I have not come across any such workshop whose learnings are till date humming in my head! It helped me discover a new meaning of my life and coached me to understanding about how to achieve excellence!
GMR PARTICIPANT - DEC 2007
WOW! what a workshop it was. Personally it is helping me a lot.
TATA AIG PARTICIPANT - NOV 2007
Thank you very much for your mail. I chose to do a few thing post your wonderful session.
Physical - I make it a point to walk for 20 minutes at least 4 times a week.
Social - I actually think before replying. It has helped. But at times it takes a back seat. Consciously trying. I think with conscious practice will improve
Emotional - I have actually stopped worrying about a lot of things. These days, the principle that I follow is if the worry is something which I can't do anything about, then better to focus on increasing my circle of influence. This has actually helped me to have a good sleep at night and that keeps me active and fresh throughout the day. Thank you so much for the same.
Spiritual - I was regularly spending 20 minutes in the morning praying (like chanting Vishnu sahasranamam). Will continue to do the same.
Your training was really motivating and helped me to actually do introspection on self. This has actually helped. Am choosing to read the book over the Christmas weekend, to reinforce the learning.
Thank you once again. You are one of those few people, who I shall always remember.
Motorola participant - 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People - October 2007
I wanted to thank you for the excellent training and experience during those 3 days. Please note that I deliberately delayed writing this mail as I wanted to re-asses my feeling at least a week after the training, just to make sure that its not like other make-you-feel-good training. I still feel great having attended 7H training and am making changes to my lifestyle and thought process, which I know will be greatly helpful in coming future. At this point, I find first 3 habits to be more fruitful but I am sure others will help when I get the private victory :)
TCS Participant - 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People - Oct 2007
Thanks for providing us the oppurtunity to change the way we live. Those two days had been a real eye opener and a reality check of our lives. Really appreciate the program. I have started to implement the first Habit and am using the See-Do-Get model in making decisions. The perspective to making decisions has changed. I am now taking a brief mental map for each action I could take before choosing the action.
Have not made any progress on the Personal Mission statement as yet. I have not put a date to it yet, (that may be the reason for not progress) but would mark some time next weekend to work on it. Thanks you again for providing me with this oppurtunity.
Ashapura Group of Industries - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - July 2007
Thanks for the very enlightening 2 days. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to appreciate you for that.
You kept the momentum and continuity in the sessions which was very important otherwise there was every chance of drifting. (Needless to say, the smile was infectious.)
Please do record your sessions as a matter of habit (9th HABIT!!). It gives
you the best insight and wonderful real life examples.

The training of seven habits of effective people is very usefull for me and I want to share with my S.E. Can u help me for this? How I should do this in minimum time.
4 Roles of Leadership workshop Participant (Mobilink Pakistan)
I must appreciate that it was a wonderful training and I learnt a lot of out it. Especially, I really enjoyed the co-missioning concept and wanted to implement the same in my department and among my teams. However for that I will be needing a bit of your support. You showed us lots of interesting videos on the topic out of which one on co-missioning was amazing where Stephen shared his experience of Ritz Carlton Hotel. If convenient for you, I would like to have the copy of that video as I wanted to show my team leaders the importance of co-mission and what a customer expects from us.
Analog Devices Participant (7 Habits in-house workshop) - October 2006

7 Habits of Highly Effective People Public Programme Participant (August 2006)
A late start as i was bed ridden due to viral.
It was really wonderful to listen to the very powerful and thought
provoking facts about very small but important tools (i.e. 7 habits) to make our lives effective and the same were delivered to all of us with a great zeal and effectiveness by the trainer .you shall agree with me that the trainer was
quite patient to all of us with rows of questions pouring in at one go, for I think we must be grateful to her having kept such a good attentive listening to us.
I am trying to make it a point that i am able to exercise atleast two to three habits and share my experiences later on with all of you. Hope you guys shall find some time in your personal life to keep in touch and share those fruitful gains of this wonderful program.
I once again thank the trainer for sharing the platform to enable us reinvent the very purpose of our life.

Just a note of thanks to you for the 7 habits effectiveness programme.
Appreciate your patience in taking us through this course. The best part of the course was the interactions with examples, which really helped me understand and relate it to my day-to-day activities on the professional as well as the personal front. It definitely set my mind thinking.
I still have a long way to go, but i think this has been a very good start in the journey called LIFE.
Would like to keep in touch with you, and learn more in times to come.

It was indeed a great feeling after going through the 7 Habits TTT at Mumbai. Firstly it gave me a new insight in to those areas which I never experienced earlier.
