[00:01:59] Suzie Price : hi there and welcome to the wake up Eager Workforce podcast where we help leaders build a high commitment low drama workforce and a life you can't wait to wake up to that is really my mission this wake up eager is everything to me it's a personal thing and that I've been able to luckily create in my professional life but I am your host who loves wake up eager my name is Susie Price and this episode is sponsored by my company Priceless Professional Development this is episode 1 33 of the Wake up Eager Workforce podcast and the title is The 7 Habits Reimagined Timeless Wisdom meets wake up Eager Science got great show notes every time we do an episode so check them out priceless professional. com forward slash 7 habits in these show notes you're gonna have a lot of downloads that you can access so I've got some documents that I'll reference that you can access I'll have related podcasts and other tools and resources for you um if there's something you want to follow up on and of course there's always the transcript so again it's priceless professional dot com forward slash 7 habits and the 7 is spelled out and it's all one word lowercase so a special journey a memory it's it's amazing how we have so many days in our lives and some days just stick out and this day sticks out to me I remember it very clearly it was 1989 a long time ago I had been working in human resources at NCR Corporation which was my dream job it was in West Columbia South Carolina which is was my hometown was a 12 person uh employee facility with engineering and manufacturing I've worked in human resources and worked closely with the general manager and the leadership team

[00:03:41] Suzie Price : I was very much a newbie out of college but it it really formed my focus and I remember every bit of that work today um that was my first professional job or a role and while I loved it I was also trying to figure out how to navigate the adult world and it didn't seem like I was very well equipped at doing that I was good at working and I was eager and I was determined and I'd figure it out but I did struggle with some of the relationships and how you work at work how how do you create rapport with people and get things done and relationships and you know what do I do about this ambition that I have that I didn't really know how to channel and then what do I do about all the incoming I was overwhelmed and I didn't really have all the tools and so anytime I'm overwhelmed I do this today and I obviously did it back then it's normal to me that if I feel overwhelmed I look for answers and it's not usually through people it's usually through a book or an idea or some kind of system or process I have those have been my teachers I feel like I've had all these mentors of people who don't know they were my mentor because I said oh I'm following them and I'm gonna do everything that they do because I like their model I adopted my own mentors but on that day I was wandering around a bookstore and back then bookstores were in the mall and I remember it was Dutch Square Mall in Columbia South Carolina there was in the middle of the store was a big round table full of business books and it seems to me like this book jumped into my hands the title spoke clarity to my confusion cause I was definitely confused I was eager I wanted to get it right and I was pretty sure I wasn't completely doing it right um and so the title seem to be the answer to all that confusion and that of course was The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R Covie so I realized today that for me this book served as a wise and caring mentor something I I've leaned on throughout my entire career found people as my mentor and and cubby was mine and these habits were mine and I know I've read the book probably 15 times haven't read it in a long while but during those early days and and picked it up

[00:05:50] Suzie Price : you know throughout my career but I I lean on those habits I've tried to integrate them in my life you know so while I had a good childhood I didn't have strong role models I had good people who were in my family but they really weren't role models or focused on being role models so it's kind of on my own a bit and that was okay cause it worked out really really well but it also resulted in what I know now is not having a very strong self view in trimetrix the self view is measuring your sense of worth knowing who you are your role confidence so so where do you fit in the world where do you belong roll confidence so it's actually roll awareness so there's three dimensions in the self view and then the last is self direction so this ability to put your feet on the floor and know what you're going to do every day and so all of that is part of the self view in the axiology or acumen part of the assessment and I know now as I look back and I remember the first time I took the assessment my numbers in that area you can score zero to 100 they were not high they were not 80 to 100 which is high you know they were anywhere between 60 and 80 and some of them were more low I don't think they were even 80 they were more low they're probably below the mean but anyway so you know I realized today that this book has helped me grow my self view and I see it all the time that people can grow that and I personally experienced it it's probably why I'm so passionate about triometrics but anyway my parents did the best they could but there was definitely a lack of structure and a lack of confidence and they had their own if you you can't give people what you don't have so that didn't give me the structure and confidence I needed during those formative years but this book was like finding that blueprint for the person I wanted to become so I love that the blueprint it was a blueprint it was a guide it is a guide and it great gave me the tools to grow self awareness to clarify my values to take ownership of my life and to really know okay this is what it means to be effective in the world oh I almost get emotional sharing that so really very meaningful I had a similar reaction when I Learned about axiology that was probably when I first started my business so that was probably 2000 5 I spent two days learning axiology in the Hartman Value Profile from with my business partner some representatives from them in Atlanta and I didn't sleep for days afterwards again another system that I knew that was gonna help me help myself and help others and so as I was putting this episode together to this week I realized and can see that Cubby's habits help me

[00:08:33] Suzie Price : strengthen across all dimensions kind of knew that but it didn't tie it directly always to cubby but that was the start of growing these habits help me clarify and strengthen how I view the world and how I view myself and axiology has helped me understand where I was in those areas and it has helped me know what it feels like to grow those areas so these tools changed my life and they're the reason I'm so passionate about what we're doing here that we can all all create wake of eager lives and strengthen and become more of who we are even if our start wasn't all that perfect and so the 7 habits didn't just give me productivity tips and as well the axiology isn't productivity tips but it is systems it is actions it is insight it is knowledge that helps us ground ourselves and help us grow habits that really are what effective people do cubby there's a reason that this book has been you know on the best seller list and and had the impact across the world for all these years it's still so relevant today so I'm gonna talk about each of the habits today I'm gonna give you some handouts we're gonna see how it ties to Trimetrix so top three takeaways are kind of the headlines of this would be you've never heard the 7 habits like this before so that is that tying it to the Hartman Value Profile so you can see that it's not just inspiring but that you can scientifically measure and take action you know and tie it to your Tri metrix assessment I'm gonna share a little bit more about my journey before for cubby and the 7 habits to this wake up eager and how it was a foundation I've already talked a little bit about that and then the third kind of headline is Timeless Habits Meet Modern Tools for self and Team Mastery so you're gonna become equipped with those downloadable tools that I've got for you and the other podcasts and episodes and information that'll help you turn a lot of this into actionable insight that you can use for yourself for your teams and it's you know really for anyone at any level so again the show notes are priceless professional dot com forward slash 7 habits and one last little nugget there is at the show notes I found some graphic facilitation YouTube videos so where they draw on the screen so it keeps you engaged and they explain each habit so I have all of those 7 habits plus some other stuff that they they created all at the show notes so check that out priceless professional dot com forward slash 7 habits and that 7 is spelled out so here's your assignment before I jump in is and it's your assignment if you wish to take it but as you're relearning or learning for the first time depends on if you've read the book before or revisiting it but as you learn about each of the habits

[00:11:10] Suzie Price : rank yourself where you are today I mean these habits are not like your college degree if you knew them at one time and you were really good at them and you have to continually focus on them to make them strong in your life to have the impact or the effectiveness that you want to have so they have to really ingrain them into your habits and then also continue to focus on them so rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 10 of course I know I'm doing this I'm hitting it out of the park so rank yourself on each of the habits and then as you do that think about what's one habit as we talk about it or something within the habit that could help you right now help you with being more effective in something in your life right now and then I want to make sure you download the document that's Dimensional Balance page document cubby 7 habits through the lens of Trimetrix document so that you can grab it and go look at your dimensional balance page graph and that's the actual graph that I'll be referencing as we go through this okay so let's dive in let's dive into this first I want to just touch base on his approach and his philosophy it's much deeper than those you know surface level success tips it's rooted in timeless principles he he talks about a character ethic you know so these aren't personality tricks these are things like integrity responsibility and contribution and you that rings true through each of the habits you'll see that there and he believed and I've come to believe this too and that's why so much of the work we do is about self awareness but that true effectiveness comes from the inside out so we'll start today with the three habits that are related to things we must master within ourselves before we can effectively lead others and he calls them our private victory and so and he says private victory precedes public victory and so I remember that the reading that book and saying wow okay this makes a lot of sense this is a roadmap and he talks about this this private victory to public victory through a maturity continuum

[00:13:12] Suzie Price : and so this continuum is saying we've got to in our mind mature into the idea that we're not dependent on others to make things happen so we're not in the blame game we're not saying well if this hadn't happened to me or like I could have said well you know my parents had been better role models are you know more effective then you know you don't do any of that you you go to independence and independence is saying um I take care of me I take action and then independence leads to interdependence so this is the inner focus is what we talk about so much at wake up eager and it's learning how to manage your energy own your strengths and bring your best self to your life and so in order to do that we have to move through this maturity continuum that he talks about and it's just so well said it's so common sense it makes so much sense but and you see it when people are really effective they are in this they've moved from dependence which is somebody else has to take care of me and we do this in subtle ways you might say well I don't do that well do you ever blame anybody for anything that happens and you say well you know if my boss wasn't so hard on me or if you know my car ran better or I don't have time to work out or whatever we're blaming others for when we feel like a victim and we're not trying to take action to fix those things that's a dependence and so to win gotta move to independence and and these first three habits the private victory are things we can do ourselves and this is the key to self mastery is taking the responsibility and so I can remember reading that and going yes I get this I don't know how to do it yet but I get it and I remember teaching it trying to teach it knowing that if I taught it I would understand it more and get more examples and dig in you know you always teach what you wanna learn and so it makes me smile that I was so into it and like okay I'm gonna help this group with this and I didn't even really totally understand it myself but that's how you ingrain and learn right you take the risk and you learn so the first three habits of the private victory are be proactive so you choose your response begin with the end in mind that's about defining your value and goals and the third one is put first things first prioritizing based on purpose not pressure and I'm gonna go into this a little bit more these build that independence so you move from dependence to independence if you're exhibiting these habits

[00:15:34] Suzie Price : and that creates that strong grounded self LED life and then the next three cause that's the first three of the seven habits is public victory habits and this is the mindset of interdependence and I remember being fascinated by that word I had not heard it before so I'm not and I love this in my relationship with my husband and friends and clients we're in this together I am not dependent on you you are not dependent on me but we can do this together is it's the highest level of maturity so I like thinking of it that way so when you're doing this pat yourself on the back because this is the mindset of collaboration trust shared success it's not I'm not I'm not dependent on you to give me feedback for my validation I'm not dependent I'm not independent where it's just about me but I bring my independence to this relationship so we can be interdependent that's bringing our whole mature selves into the relationship into the teams and the three habits there are think win win so that's seeking mutual benefit seek first to understand then to be understood this has been um the lesson of a lifetime and um I am better and better at this all the time that's so powerful we'll talk more about that and then the sixth one is synergize you value differences and collaborate creatively so much of all the work we do is related to these three things these habits cultivate that interdependence that top of the chain and maturity continuum and it's the foundation of healthy teams partnerships and leadership so if you want to strengthen your leadership revisit these habits revisit all of this and then the very last the 7th habit is about self renewal and it it encompasses all six habits so when you look at the image of the habits you'll see that it's around the edges and it's you continually invest in all areas of your life physical emotional mental and spiritual so we're gonna dig into all of those and let's go into

[00:17:34] Suzie Price : this now by doing a little bit deeper dive on the private self management habit the very first one is which is be proactive so let's go into that now it's choosing our response so instead of reacting you pause you reflect and you respond with intention and then the you know I remember what caught my eye and helped me understand this was response dash ability responsibility but there's a dash it between the word ability between what happens in my response there needs to be some space and cubby talks about this space when he shares the story of Victor Frankel he wrote The Man Search for meaning and it's an amazing book another good book to put on your list but he found freedom in choosing his response even in a Nazi concentration camp and so that's it's an amazing story but if Victor Frankle can figure this out then we can figure this out in the situations that we're in no matter what your distyle is or no matter who it is that is called pushing your buttons between the stimulus and the response there is a space and that's what he figured out and that he's telling the story in his book Man Search for meaning will move you and inspire you so I realized when I first read this that I didn't have to be a victim of my schedule or my stress or other people's expectations or you know me not being able to figure all the stuff out on my first professional job you know I could choose how I show up and so being proactive is a big deal and it is again choosing your response so being proactive in my mind is this idea of planning ahead so I'm a big fan of this and over the years I've gotten good at this and I would rank myself pretty high on this habit I am not ever blindly going into situations I have a kind of communication style that would say that I might do that but I don't I've Learned to manage that

[00:19:34] Suzie Price : because I'm a high dominance and high influence if you know disc you know they tend to move fast but I like being prepared I'm kind of addicted to feeling good and so and I have continually found ways to be prepared to think about my week and I'll tell you the a model that has really helped me with this it's a tool that helps me be more proactive and not be victim to my communication blind spots learning to manage those not become a victim to having too much to do and not enough time and all of that so much of us so many of us talk about is the getting things done model and I did a podcast episode on that so check it out at Priceless professional dot com forward slash 7 habits that was I spent a lot of time on that episode and we had a lot of other people commenting on that one the getting things done model if you're having a hard time being proactive that whole model that's another book that became a mentor to me David Allen wrote it it's been a best seller for many many years and it helps me plan I do a weekly review every week I know what's gonna happen I do I have a way to track all my ideas and I know each day what my workouts are gonna be I mean it's not so planned that I'm rigid but it's planned enough that I don't have any anxiety about not being prepared and it helps me be proactive I'm not just flying into meetings not prepared or trying to be ready for you know us going on a date with my husband and having not thought about it at all where we're gonna go or meeting up with family all of those things I'm just being much more planful and this has been quite a few years in the making and it's very much who I am today I don't fly by the seat of my pants and and that has made me more proactive and more satisfied and Hubbard's quote is I am not a product of my circumstances I am a product of my decisions and so to me that's what GTD the Getting Things done model helps me be more decisive I know every day what the priorities are and if you worked with me at all we always talk about your list of six you know everything is not important every single day you know most important figure out what is most important have your list of six of things that have to happen and let them be your guide so that you stay focused on the important things the things that matter so proactivity is the foundation of self leadership and that's the first one so it makes sense and if we are proactive we're able to be emotional

[00:21:59] Suzie Price : agile so I I never allow myself I could say almost never allow myself to be wiped out and that's a choice that's a decision you know I'm always making sure that I feel good and so taking ownership of our energy our day our growth there's many things I'm not good at but this is one that I have worked hard at so I proudly say I am solid in this one hahaha but you know continually working on it is not a college degree but let's tie it into trimetrix again you know being proactive is taking responsibility for our life or behavior and you'll see I've got a download that kind of ties these to it and when we look at Trixmetrics there's you know we think that Trixmetrics the axiology part is we have one mind so if you are were looking at me right now you'd say okay Susie has one mind that's she's thinking and making decisions but within this little mind I have I have I'm thinking in two worlds so it's 1 2 3 1 mind two worlds and the two worlds are world view and self view so how I work in the world and how I see myself so as I'm making decisions all of that's being factored in and within because it's one two three within each one of these worlds there's three areas of focus and they have to do with how we're feeling about people and ourselves how we're feeling and thinking about what we're doing in our work and how we're fitting in with our role and then it also is about ideas and strategy when we're working in the world and and our focus and vision for ourselves so with that summary very quick summary and if you wanna know more about axiology reach out to me but think about um if you have your assessment go look at the dimensional balance page graph and see your scores in the self view so this is all about the self view where we're talking about do I value myself do I know have confidence in my roles where I fit in am I clear about my future and the ideas of of how I'm moving forward and the structure for myself so all of that comes into the 1 2 3 where we're making decisions our self view impacts how we show up in the world if we have high self direction and a high score would be from 80 to 100 you are acting from a chosen set of principles not from reactive emotions or external pressures so the lower your self direction is the more this might be an area that you could focus on building and it also measures our sense of self and this is recognizing our own worth and so the higher the sense of self what I have seen when people have low sense of self they're at sixty 60 you know 40 to 60 is low 60 to 80 is medium 80 to 100 is high so when they get down to between 40 and 60 they're they tend to put themselves last and so that can tell you something about okay if I'm gonna be more proactive you can't get proactive have you somehow decided that you're not worth the value you're not value yourself enough to say I wanna feel good so recognizing your own worth and it gives you power to choose your response you have a right to choose your response and then lastly with the Trimetrix tie in I'll talk about systems judgment systems judgment is in the world view and that is this idea of strategies and thinking and planning it's the idea of before we get things done we have to know what we need to get done and we have to have a vision for it so it's the mindset of ownership and vision rather than victimhood so I've got a plan

[00:25:28] Suzie Price : so that's really what GTD has helped me get better at and that was I found GTD that getting things done that resource I talked about for this one and when I was overwhelmed and went to a bookstore and that book landed in my lap and I've read it 15 times so that's been another one but the truth that I'll have according to the triometrics tie in about this habit is balance minds initiate action unbalanced minds react to circumstances the axiology part of Trimetrix is measuring how we're thinking feeling and making decisions is that 1 mind 2 worlds three focus areas in each world and that graph can really give you some keen insight how balanced is your sense of self how strong is your self direction in your system's judgment are you spending is it high enough that you're taking time to plan and vision and see and and value that so that you can be proactive so that is some insight on the first habit be proactive now let's go into the second habit which is it's a private victory habit and it's about self management it's beginning with the end in mind so again it ties closely with being proactive this is more specifically saying and the way that cubby talks about it is asking what do I want to be known for you know and overall it's what matters most and it's letting these answers shape our choices so instead of just bumping along and not knowing what's important or what our why is or what we want to actually do a lot of people will say well I don't know what I want to do when I was in 1989 I knew I wanted to be effective in that job so that helped me but cubby also talks about writing your own eulogy in the book and that was a novel idea at the time I think that that you know many people have talked about that since then but you know what do you want people to say about you at your funeral if you wanted to do a good exercise sit down and write that down what would you want people to say and then are you doing the things they're gonna lead to that cause they're saying what they experience from you so what do you want people to experience when they're with you and so for me I think that's a good good exercise but I also think it's even better to on your daily focus I mean that's a good exercise don't I'm not Downing that but day to day our good life is what we do day to day so do you know what's most important

[00:27:52] Suzie Price : for you tomorrow and the next day and the next day before you bumble into the day um so think about that what are the 6 things that must happen tomorrow that will make an effective day what is most important step back begin with the end in mind think about what's most important again I'm I've said it earlier which is I'm addicted to feeling good about each day it feels good to feel good and we can create that and there's really no reason that we have to be hassled or I mean there are gonna be UPS and down days and of course that's part of life but I think we have more control around that than we think of and we think we do by beginning with the end in mind and so back in the 20s this helped me this actual begin with the end of the mind just got me thinking about who am I who do I wanna be what kind of life do I wanna live and that thought process still helps me today and again to nowadays I know exactly when I'm gonna work out I have my meals planned I know what my important events are coming up nothing is a surprise I try not to have it be because I want to live an intentional life I want to wake up eager I want I don't know it's about what people say about me at the end of my life but I know how I want to feel at the end of my life and that it has been a good life and of course that's made up of all the days we live and that's kind of my y to the beginning mind I I'll remember that sometimes if I get out of sorts I'll remember why am I doing this why am I doing wake up eager why am I doing this podcast cause it's actually you know like an extra job to do this that you know is on my dime but why do I do this because I care about you know I have to remind myself why I do it and as soon as I start talking about my why I you know whatever had me not it up is fades away and I'm open and ready to be there so a lot of times when I'm working with people and they're talking about something and this is something you could do for yourself or as you're coaching others or why are you doing this

[00:29:43] Suzie Price : or so when we're they're doing a hiring template for a job another kind of why is I'll say what must happen in this job in order for the job to be successful pick the top three to five priorities and that's a way we begin to create a hiring template for a job and so that's the beginning with the end in mind a lot of times people say okay I want to do the tri matrix assessment and I want to measure the candidate and then I want to just see all the attributes we need to know what's important for the job and we need to know why this job exists what the priorities are and it's not doesn't take long to do you just have to ask the why questions then that helps people be much more effective by beginning with the end in mind what am I gonna expect them to do what are the you know three to five priorities at the end of every every year what has to happen or they'll fail and it's not the job description it's the priorities that's the why for the job so that's just another kind of wake up eager kind of work we do often and I often in any kind of coaching call say okay tell me a little bit about why you're focused here tell me a little bit about why this project matters and it's using the natural planning model which is a model that starts with defining why we're doing something and then envisioning the desired outcome which ties in perfectly with this habit here so the triometrics tie in you know beginning with the end in mind is again we're looking at in our self view remember I said one mind two views world view working in the world and work and see how we see ourselves all those come together to help impact how we make decisions and the self direction is again something that's about what matters to me when I put my feet on the floor every day do I know where I'm going and what I'm doing and why I'm doing it do I have purpose do I feel hope for the future um am I clear about the future

[00:31:33] Suzie Price : and as soon as we have more clarity about where we're going and why we're doing it which is self direction role awareness is the role confidence that you find in the self view and it's it helps us to then say let me make sure I'm focusing on meaningful goals things that matter to me and matter to my company that matter to the big picture and it impacts our daily performance and so and then with the world view again beginning with the end in mind is this it's an idea it's a vision it's an and we need to stop and plan that and how strong our system's judgment is do we have the capacity to do that to think about the ideas and then the practical thinking is the doing part of when we're working in the world and I've got a whole episode about that and we've got workbooks and stuff for each one of these dimensions but practical thinking is getting things done in an effective way a way that feels focused and meaningful and that results in less overwhelming frustration so often today when I see people in their practical thinking scores they either are scoring low so they're like at 70 or 65 so they're not seeing clearly what needs to be done and or they have a negative bias which is how they feel about it so they don't see what needs to be done and they're frustrated so we see that a lot and sometimes it's because we haven't taken a step back and said okay what's the beginning with the end in mind and maybe we're missing some of the proactivity in being proactive so um the truth for this habit of beginning with the end in mind is when we have a vision of what the endgame is we can successfully align our actions with deeper purpose so in the handout you will see these truths and the summary that I'm verbalizing here so you make sure you'll be able to get that when you go to Priceless professional. com forward slash 7 habits okay the last so how did you rate yourself on begin with the end in mind I don't think I'm a 10 I don't always stop and ask the why um but I'm I've got this one I'm doing pretty good at this one I think I'm probably a 7 seven and a/2 8 where are you and the third one is put first things first that's the third self management private victory habit this is time management based on priorities so now we are talking about productivity based on priorities not urgency your urgency or someone else's it's about saying yes to what matters and no to distractions and it's I love this okay we need to put this in red lights our big big bright lights on it it's the courage to live your values under pressure it's the courage to live your values under pressure so Cubby Talks has this famous time management matrix

[00:34:13] Suzie Price : that urgent versus the important I'm sure you've seen it and it's really good to revisit it because this is where I could do a little bit better job I have been focusing on this intuitively but boy rereading the time management matrix like huh you know I could be doing a lot better here so I'm gonna go through it real quick it's a good use of time to go through it and if you can go to the show notes and you can see a visual of it priceless professional.com forward slash 7 habits but basically it's built from two dimensions what's urgent so what requires immediate attention versus what's important so your values your goals your long term mission so the important is you need to know what those are and you know beginning with the end in mind and being proactive and then you've got these four quadrants so the first quadrant is things that are urgent and important and this is the quadrant of necessity is what some have named it it's crises it's emergencies it's last minute deadlines it's health issues pressing problems these are things you have to do now client needs something from you and if you live here constantly with pressing problems crises then you could be in burnout and stress so if you stay in Q1 too long this quadrant the quadrant of necessity the crises eventually dominate your life so you'll just run in how many people do you know I know I talk to people on a regular basis who are saying man I'm so busy I'm so overwhelmed and this was my problem back when I first found this book too I I didn't I was in in the urgent and important and we need to be here to get things done but we don't want to spend all of our time here and if we start spending a lot of time here it will eventually dominate us so Quadrant 2 now is this is not urgent but it's the important things so this is the quadrant of quality and leadership so we wanna stay in Quadrant 2 as much as possible we're gonna have to go in Quadrant 1 on a regular basis to get things done but we're not gonna live there where everything's a crisis we're gonna take care of ourselves the quadrant of quality and leadership are things like strategic planning it's building relationships if you build the bridges with people then you're not constantly putting out fires cause you know people who work for you aren't leaving people you need to help you in other departments are helping you because you've built the relationships you're not having health emergencies cause you've taken time to take care of yourself and your wellness you've not put it off you're doing personal development that feeds your soul things you wanna read things you wanna learn if you love to travel whatever your top drivers are we'll tell you some insight around how you wanna spend your time you're setting goals you're reflecting on if they're the right goals you know do I have my ladder on the wrong wall or am I going up the right ladder doing the right things proactive prevention you know what do I need to check in on coaching and mentoring and I love this effective people live in this quadrant effective people live in Quadrant 2 the quadrant of quality and leadership the not urgent but important this is where effective people live these activities don't scream this is another great saying they're not screaming at you for your attention but they build your legacy so people are going to remember you it's the legacy that you are going to leave it's the quality of your life

[00:37:24] Suzie Price : life and a reminder that if we really want to be effective we're not problem minded but we're opportunity minded and the only way we can be opportunity minded if we're taking care of the things that are important but not urgent and not letting the urgent and important take over we're probably if we're doing our best we're spending most of our time in Quadrant 2 and some in Quadrant 1 cause that's just a part of life things show up and we need to hurry up and go get them done now let's go to Quadrant 3 and remember you have an image of this that you can go look at I know for sometimes I need to see it and if you go to Priceless professional. com forward slash 7 habits you can pull that up but Quadrant 3 is urgent but not important so this is distraction stuff and so this is no I like being busy this is busy work interruptions so calls taking calls and emails and texts when we don't you know they're not urgent and they don't need to be handled right that minute a lot of meetings some meetings I have found that I've stopped going to some meetings that I used to just go because I was part of that group I've kind of got myself out of some of those I'm doing a little better in this area request from others that seem urgent but aren't aligned like I really like if somebody a lot of people reach out to me and want to ask me questions about axiology and they're not always my clients and because I love talking about trimetrics and all that I love to share so those aren't urgent and they're not really aligned but I do like doing them so sometimes that can be a bit of a distraction busy work that feels productive but isn't impactful these are things that if we're in urgent but not important we feel like we're being productive'cause somebody needs something from us but all we're really doing is reacting this quadrant steals time from what really matters and I love this from Kobe people who spend time here in Quadrant 3 often think they're in Quadrant 1 but they're not in quadrant 1 is the one where we're gonna probably you know we're gonna spend our most time in the urgent not urgent but important but quadrant 1 is urgent and important so we think we're doing that when we're doing the urgent but not important you know somebody needed something from me I felt productive today cause I was busy but it is a little bit of the wrong busy sometimes so and then the last quadrant that is worth talking about is not urgent and not important this is the quadrant of waste and of course we all are doing some of this I think excessive TV or entertainment gossip procrastination over indulgence clutter so we're you know distracted cleaning out our clutter all the time mindless social media scrolling that's one some downtime is healthy yes I do like to sometimes read

[00:40:06] Suzie Price : some of the things on Facebook I like looking at LinkedIn seeing what people are up to my husband is a very proactive and he's you know really good in Quadrant 1 and 2 he's really into and but he'll sometimes feel guilty about playing you know some of those games that you play downstairs but it helps him relax so some of it is healthy and I always say no go do that you know that call of duty or whatever it's fun for him you know and it gives him a focus so we all have those things but too much time here equals disengagement because there really is no return on the time invested and so you know I could do a little less of the scrolling and stuff you know it's where time gets lost and energy gets drained so if you are doing some of these things notice when you're in when it tips over into okay this is draining me I'm frustrated I I need to get out of here and we're gonna consciously make a choice to be in the quadrants that are more productive so here are some how to use these quadrants in real life awareness is the first step and hopefully as I just read these through for you and if you print out the actual time quadrant um document that we've got as a download you know track your time for a day or week label your activities by each quadrant see and think about them you can officially do it or just be aware of it and think about it and then schedule more Quadrant 2 time and that's that strategy and taking care of yourself block time on your calendar for non urgent but important things um reflection remember it's reflecting it's learning it's planning relationship building self care no one else is gonna do this for you now so where I'm good is I do every day I make list of appreciation I have quiet time and I have reflection time I do do that I do do my self care but I'm not doing the next step of the to do's here where I can get better is say no to Q3 and four protect your priorities by learning to say no or not now not now is probably would be better for me cause I do like to help people even if they're not my clients or they're not my family so and I have fun I'm kind of people oriented but I needed to say a little bit more no there and some of that you know scrolling on social media would be good for me not to do and there's a good book coming out if you know Tim Ferris he does the Tim Ferris podcast

[00:42:18] Suzie Price : he wrote the four hour work week and he's got a book called The No Book and O Book and it looks fascinating because he's a very good writer he's gotten really good because he's been in high demand about saying no and then he has this other person that he works with that apparently is somebody else that's kind of quasi well known like he is and that person is not very good at saying no and so it's a whole book about learning to say no so that'll probably be on our list to read and talk about in the future but might help us with step 3 and this how to use the quadrants and step 4 is prepare for the emergencies quadrant 1 they're gonna happen and the more we spend time in Quadrant 2 planning and strategizing it reduces how often we're stuck in Quadrant one so I would say I'm probably um anywhere from a 6 to 9 in this in the quad in this actual habit um and probably a little bit lower on it these days and can tighten up here so that is some things you can do around the quadrants and then let's tie it into trimetrics we wanna put first things first we're gonna look at our self view and we're going to look at and think about as we're doing this we're translating our values into daily disciplines and that impacts our self direction and our role awareness and role awareness is role confidence so as we do that we're gonna feel feel more confident we're gonna have a stronger internal foundation and as you insert this these disciplines into your daily thought you know you're gonna be honoring and protecting your time and your energy and what matters to you and so you're gonna feel proud of yourself and your self worth will strengthen that's good and then it also impacts on the world view practical thinking in tri metrics and that dimensional balance base graph because you're assessing what's urgent versus important in your task and you're taking charge of your schedule so you don't feel a little bit of the victim and you don't feel like you're not you know you're putting first things first and I think a lot of us struggle with this one so and you'll begin to feel more eager and enthusiastic about every day if you're doing this so the truth for this one or the summary statement for this is effective prioritization grows clarity in all three self view dimensions of value and creates calmer days and less frustration every day so we spend a good bit of time on the self management it'll be quicker quicker as we go through the uh public victories because the self management ones are so important is where we start and as we talked about the private victories we have to have this independence and not slip into the dependence where we feel a little victim the stronger this is the better we'll be at the next three which is interdependence so to summarize the three self management habits from Covey are be proactive begin with the end in mind and put first things first and we looked at the tie in with Trimetrix with a lot of the self view areas and some of the things in the world view as well we're gonna take a feeling break now um we're gonna take a moment to tune into something that we've been doing every episode this year in 2025 with our emotional well being 2.0 aligning with your excellent segment with the insightful and soulful Douglas White such a great person he is the CEO of Soul Integrated Athletics he's a former Major league pitching coach a 17 year career across some of the top Major League Baseball organizations he's a four time minor league champion has been part of two World Series teams and today what he's doing at his soul integrated athletics is helping athletes and leaders and all of us through these segments and in the good work that he's doing coaching and helping others to integrate our emotional well being with high performance cause you know you have to be a high performer in the athletic professional athletics world we have to be a high performer in our work uh professionally so each month he's been bringing us practical wisdom about how to navigate emotions they are a part of who we are and we can't as much as we try to not acknowledge our emotions they are important and we have to figure out how to deal with them in a way that fuels us rather than derails our excellence so whether you're leading a team or growing your career or simply trying to be more present in your everyday life Douglas reminds us of this truth about our emotions that that how we feel matters not personally but professionally too not just personally how we feel is feedback and it's not something to ignore but something to learn from so he's been giving us segments you can find all the segments little clips are a couple of minutes but I thought it'd be a good way to insert this as we go towards the close we'll quickly go through the next three habits um but let's take a moment and think about how we use our emotions in a practical way and it's about it's about this um taking charge of them and not being victim but so it really ties nicely with what we're doing today here's Douglas and what he's talking about in this segment

[00:47:24] Douglas White : hello everybody Douglas White emotional well being 2.0 aligning with your excellence we're back for segment 10 so happy that you're here the last time we spoke segment 9 we talked about emotions and we talked about being able to express them being fully expressed and I wanna stick on this cateagerry of emotions because of how unbelievably important it is and also because me myself and I I forget all the time we are not our emotions we are not our emotions our emotions are indicators their interpreters their information for us to use so we can decipher interpret our life experiences so the way you feel is nothing more than a guidance system to let you know hey this is the direction I'm headed in hey this is the way I'm thinking about this right now so on and so forth so think of it this way we really don't have any negative or positive emotions what we have is frequency interpreters our body is an actual frequency interpreter so the frequency that we're using inside of us I guess you'd say the frequency that we're really feeling inside of us it's interpreted through our body through the emotion it feels negative but it's not the frequency is just the frequency and the body feels the way it feels that may help some of you to disassociate with negative emotion means I'm doing something wrong or it could even be someone is doing something wrong to me because when we get caught up in our emotions meaning we get caught up in the way they feel it's so easy to go down that path in a hurry so now we're reacting instead of responding uh we're getting triggered instead of responding we're basically flying off off the cusp instead of responding now does it even matter when you fly off the cusp no it really doesn't except in our society sometimes it ain't that cool so if you are a CEO listening to this a manager of some sort you run a company of some sort of course you do not want to fly off the cuff with your employees obviously with your customers that's not gonna work out so remembering what your emotions are for instead of how they're making us feel is so very important so I am not anger I am not rage I am not depressed I am not any of those things I am not insecure in this moment inside of me I feel this way in this moment the energy inside of me feels like this that's how you can describe it instead of saying I am because you're not who you are is a blessed amazing deserving worthy amazing I already said it say it again awesome human being that's who you are now the rest of it let's say for example the emotions again those are your interpreters those that that's information that's guidance it's not who you be or who you are hope that helps love you guys so much

[00:51:33] Suzie Price : bye I appreciate how Douglas is reminding us of who we are you know that we are amazing and we are valuable and that our emotions we all have them act as a guidance system and gives us insight into where we're what we're doing thinking and how we're processing life in the moment and they did there's not a thing as negative or positive like there's something wrong with us because we have these emotions but it is energy and frequency being interpreted through the body and so to use that as an understanding of where we are and how we're focusing in the moment so to hear the other segments he's done 13 of these so far and you can hear all of them on his page and an episode that we did together about his work and good things he's doing go to priceless professional.com forward slash well being and you'll be able to connect with him so I appreciate that he's doing these segments and I appreciate his energy and his focus and he just does not veer off of emotions he wants us to pay attention to them and understand them you know it ties nicely with being proactive and not being a victim and being independent I like it so now now let's move we talked about we listened to Douglas we talked about the three private victories now here's the three public victories this is about awareness of other people and what is happening around us so habit No. 4 think win win this is about mutual benefit it's not your way or my way it's a third way a better way Kobe thinks about this is a win win comes from abundance that makes sense you know I have enough to give so we can all win there's enough for a success for everyone and um in the book he gives some good examples about neagertiation strategies where parties expand the pie instead of splitting it talks about two collaboration over compromise I really love how this is about the win win because win win means I don't have to be right if we focus on being right all the time then you're not creating a win win you you know I win you lose because your ideas aren't as important as what I think the ideas are that are important so that can be a big part of the win win and I have a very strong dominant style this style Heidi is a big part of it and I like to learn a lot and so sometimes I could be kind of driven to share what I know or or I and especially earlier on you know I know something I've Learned something and I have a very strong opinion about it and there was no reason to have that but you know we all have opinions and oftentimes we want to share them and what I have Learned from this win win idea is I don't need to be right and even if I have that urge you know that emotion within me of like okay that's wrong I know what's right instead of me getting caught in that something that's really helping me flip the script when I need it to flip is is say okay I don't want I don't need to be right and stop and think about what my intention is around my opinion and so it could be that if I know how I interpret Trimetrix and what I think the best way is to be a value to people and then I have a colleague that's doing it different sometimes I want to correct them and say here's the best way to do this and in that moment that's not a win win so how can we collaborate well what'll help me not share my opinion is to think about what my intention is I want to hear how they're using axiology I want them to be successful I want this relationship with this colleague to be positive and so I want us to learn from each other that gets me out of no let me tell you how you're wrong consultants are are big into um doing that sometimes cause they get paid for sharing information um but if you do that too much you're not doing the win win so that's really been a process for me and so having helping people collaborate and change the you know for me to win you must lose mindset um you have to have processes and we have some great processes with Trimetrix where we use the Trimetrix side by side report to help people resolve past history communication style differences similarities and so they understand each other and that process really helps people kind of get out of the stuck place that they're in and move towards this idea of collaboration by understanding each other and and so I I like that how that the the side by side report can help people in conflict resolution and begin to begin to help each other win so you know wake up bigger team celebrate each other's wins it's built on respect and shared goals win win win leadership you know we're focused on building trust so if I want to be a win win coach and consultant I need to not worry about being right I need to tune in to who they are and what they think and let us build trust together and as a leader that's important and it's you know with the tools that we have and this habit as an awareness and then using some of the um attributes in in the assessment to better understand ourselves we can create more win win and again win win is the seeking mutual benefit in all interactions and so as you do this this becomes a public victory because um you decide that I'm gonna find value and I don't need to dominate or diminish I know who I am enough that I don't need to prove myself in every situation I don't need to tout my knowledge I don't need to make sure you get me I've got a high enough sense of self that I don't do that and then this also pulls in in the world view there's this people dimension that's about understanding others and that's honoring the worth and dignity of others and so the higher your ability to understand others if you're between 80 and 100 you could you can more easily turn on this habit of thinking win win because you're saying you know what what they think matters and having them engaged and involved matters and then the um what we could also look at within Trimetrix and the the dimensions there is systems judgment which is the systemic you know this idea of using structure and using some of the facilitation techniques to create the win win by seeking equitable solutions that work um and so the truth for this this habit is uh win win thinking arises when we both value ourselves and others equally so if you look at um win win you also don't wanna have where you value yourself and everybody else wins all the time you know so where's the win win we value ourselves we know our sense of self and we understand others and we have have value in both of those that are equal not one higher than the other so let's talk about the next public victory habit and that is the habit No. 5 seek first to understand then to be understood this one's big I talked about it earlier how important the listening is really hearing people not just waiting to reply tuning in I've done a lot of work on this over the years and I still you know can get better I'm probably at a 7 maybe um because I've I've you I've had a whole journey of learning how did you put people first how do you listen really hear what people are saying um and then cubby shares a great story of a man on the subway he his children were running wild and were disruptive you know in the in the subway car and you you're feeling like okay what is wrong with this person he needs to manage his children until you learn that he just left the hospital where these kids mother has died and then our perception changes and shifts so if we can tune in and see what's happening with people and not make judgment so we evaluate not judge we watch what's happening and then we say okay let me understand what's happening um and so the tie in for wake up eager the habit you know the tool is curiosity and empathy create safe spaces for growth and trust and as you understand then then you can share your viewpoint um I've seen seen this kind of focus transform relationships and coaching sessions I've seen it in conflict situations that conflict process that I talked about with the side by side report where people share what their what their what they perceive has been the things that have not gone right and the other person has to listen it creates you know amazing things when people feel heard and and they feel like someone's understanding them and the entire dynamic can shift so wake up bigger leaders listen with curiosity they don't just manage people they understand them so the trimetrics tie into this of seek first to understand then to be understood is that said empathetic listening before advocating for your view so if you have good on yourself you good self direction is you know where you're going you know who you are and that you know your future you're able to hold back impulsive responses to allow a space for understanding and then with the world view remember we have the one mind the two two views world view and self view and the world view deeply understanding others uniqueness and their inner experience having some high empathy scores and high understanding other scores and then you know systems judgment if you have these processes that these thoughtful communication frameworks you can build trust so the truth for this habit is overall listening well requires balance valuation of others systems and your own eager so those truth statements are really good I think those are good to remember and kind of each habit so we're going we're almost near the end here this is the sixth habit and it is also a public victory habit and this is one that I did not remember as much I really tuned into the others and this is the habit about teamwork not just working together but thinking together it's the magic that happens when we embrace differences and create something better because of those differences now that is a lot of work that we work to do with the assessments and helping people understand the differences and how they interact and you know the different things that different people value and cubby talks about it in his book about synergy is like the diverse ecosystems that thrive you know in their environment and that that those are in nature they're interdependent they help each other the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and he that work with the assessment no wonder I love Trimetric so much is he I initially got the idea from him obviously it is that true synergy happens when people value differences and tap into these collective strength you know somebody likes to be of service and remove pain and suffering and the other person has an opposite motivator or driver about getting results and being you know return on investment well they can work together and if we understand and can value those differences and we have language for those we have a win win spirit you know so it's not about sameness synergy isn't about we all need to be the same it's the difference that creates the value so that's really important and that's something that we're constantly doing with the assessments and understanding our different strengths and that we all have different overdoses and blind spots and all of that happens with trust and open communication and having understanding the differences and that those differences create value helps us and you creative solutions emerge when we seek first to understand which is the habit No. 5 you know I want to understand

[01:03:21] Suzie Price : and because I believe in habit No. 4 win win and when I do that we have this synergy that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts it's a thinking together we're not just working together but truly thinking together so valuing differences cubby says is the essence of synergy and that is the mental emotional and psychological differences between people and so some of the tips that they have within the book is how to practice this habit the synergy is assume you don't have the best answer alone yes actively seek out others perspectives especially when they're different from your own are you doing that create safe spaces where diverse thinking can emerge and look for the third alternative so that's very optimistic and forward thinking if you're doing this not your way not their way but a new way so this makes me think of and early on in my career I had just Learned Trimetrix and it was in my business and there was a leadership team that could not hire an executive level position because the two top executives could not agree on what was important for the role one wanted one set of attributes and the other wanted another set of attributes and they knew with our hiring process that we could help them you know we had a process that would facilitate that so I facilitated the discussion it was very new for me to do that it was probably one of the first ones and I was so thrilled that it was successful haha um I knew it would work but you know I was still learning how to make sure it worked but we created a hiring template we use the side by side tools and um all of that instead of debating who was right the whole process helped them explore what was what was most important for this specific role not based on you know their preferences or their bias or their opinion but based on what the job needed and the facilitation process that we used and so they ended up creating a very effective hiring process and they finally were able to come to some agreement on the attributes for what the candidate needed to have and they were able to attract the a top person to be in this executive role that had sat open for a long period of time so it was the third alternative that came from honoring all the voices so that whole process everybody's sharing what they think is important in the role and nobody's wrong that's part of the process and you're creating a hiring template and you use all of that to put it all together to create a vision beginning with the end in mind a dashboard of what the job needs for success so that actual memory of all those years ago and it happens on a regular basis now is synergy in action we didn't split the difference and said okay this person is right and this person is wrong we put it all together and we had the right process to do that so we elevated the conversation which I'm thrilled about and so I've seen this energy with clients co facilitators and podcast guests and it's energizing to have that other alternative from the other voices so and you know if you're building a high commitment low drama team you're unlocking this kind of synergy so when you think about synergize this is the combining the strengths from creative collaboration you know you think about self view having a strong sense of self if you have a secure identity you're going to be more open to others ideas and less threatened by them and if you have a strong rule confidence you're going to be less threatened because a lot of times if I don't feel like I know where I fit then then it's hard are to invite new ideas so the stronger self view is helpful and then then the world view all of the items in the world view the understanding of systems judgment is you're tuning into people you prioritize them you appreciate diverse perspectives and you channel them into innovative ideas that's the understanding others and systems judgment and then the practical thinking part which is the doing part when we work in the world combines all these talents for amplified effort and amplified results so synergize is really powerful and a great way to close out the public victories and the truth about synergy is synergy is the fruit of balanced thinking valuing people task and systems in harmony so they actually cover everything in the dimensional balance page graph the the six dimensions so we're going to the 7th habit and this habit ties it all together and you can see the show notes and you can see the image where you see the sharpening the saw is it wraps around the private victories and the public victories this habit is about renewal you've got to renew yourself you cannot pour from an empty cup you have to care for your body your mind your heart and your spirit we all have to do this and so this is the habit about renewal so you can see how important it is this one has become more important to me every year as I get older and I understand that I care about my fitness routine clean eating daily reflection just I want to make sure that all the days are mattering you know so it's it's how I keep the sharp saw is a lot of the personal stuff that I like to do and in the book I like that cubby tells the story of the lumberjack who's too busy sawing to sharpen his saw so basically he becomes you know he can't saw anymore um and so he literally did not sharpen the saw but that's what this represents it's a good visual can't do the work you need to do if your saw is worn down and we basically become ineffective and burned out if we're living not doing this part so tie in is you know the wake up your tie in is self care isn't selfish so yes you have family yes you have people who need you but you are not able to be there for them if you're not there for yourself self care is what fuels your ability to serve others so see where you are here on a scale of 1 to 10 where are you are you doing enough of this for yourself or could you be doing more and where could you is this the one area you're gonna focus on but if you want to feel alive and you want to wake up eager you have to invest in yourself there's just no two ways about it sharpen
