Book Review: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 
I know…I’m a little late to the party on this one, but I finally got around to reading Stephen Covey’s “international bestseller”.
This work is truly a guidebook on how to perform better in both personal and professional areas. Covey stresses that if we want to make a change, we all should first address our own personal attitudes and behaviors. Personal victories precede public victories.
- Habits 1, 2, and 3 deal with self-mastery
- Habits 4, 5, and 6 deal with teamwork, cooperation and communication
- Habit 7 incorporates all of the other habits to help an individual work on continuous improvement.

Book Review: improv wisdom
improv wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson is our final Book Club book for 2011 which we will be discussing on 8-Nov at noon at the Plymouth Congregational Church. The Meyvn Group does an amazing job of facilitating discussion that makes the book much more meaningful.
I’m the consummate planner. While I only have one “to-do list” (unlike some people), I’m very religious about it. It helps me make sure things get done.
I overly prepare for speaking engagements and meetings with clients. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right? Be Prepared?
I was a bit confused by this book. I think the main thrust was to lighten up a bit when it comes to your personal and professional lives, but not to let your whole world fall out of balance. Live an unscripted life like an improve actor does when they get on stage.
