Our Favorite Habit

  • Michelle Baker's favorite habit is:  #8 Find your VOICE and inspire others to find theirs!
    "It's great to share with others so they are empowered to share too."  


    Hanah Henry's favorite habit is Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Talk). "I try to learn everything I can about a situation or person and then speak my opinion. That way, everyone has a chance to express their own viewpoint with fewer misunderstandings."


    Natika Gilbert's favorite habit is: Begin With the End in Mind.  "It's important to work toward an end goal!"


    Taryn Whitmore's favorite habit is: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. "If everyone tried to listen to others thoughts, feelings and ideas, then more things would be accomplished and people would feel valued."


    Charity Carter's favorite habit is: Begin with the End in Mind.  "I really like writing lists and making sure that I have everything I need to complete a task before I start working on it."
