Habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw
• “Balanced renewal” • When you renew yourself, you
continue to grow and develop the necessary skills to be resilient.
• When you don’t renew, everything (and everybody) can be a challenge!

“Move That Mountain!”
• One step at a time …– THINK upon these habits – SELECT one to work on.– CHOOSE to share what you’re
working on with one other person.
• You CAN Do It!
