About the Program

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Lawyers

Dr. Stephen Covey’s inspirational, landmark book, The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People became a blueprint for personal development when it was published in 1990. The concepts are as applicable today as they were in the ‘90’s; perhaps more so, not just in the legal and business worlds, but in all aspects of life beyond business and work. The “7 Habits” are very simple, yet they challenge us to make some serious changes in our thinking and our behavior. They help us grow, change, and increase our effectiveness.

Now, Tom Blaisse, formerly one of Franklin Covey Company’s highest rated trainers, with more than 25 years of knowledge and experience from a variety of industries including finance and accounting, brings you the “7 Habits” in a format designed to empower and equip lawyers with the principles of personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

If you are familiar with the “7 Habits,” re-embrace them. If you are new to the “7 Habits,” be inspired by Covey’s ideas and skills. They are a remarkable set of inspirational and aspirational standards for anyone who seeks to live a full, purposeful and productive life. They will make a difference in your life and in your law practice.
