The 7 Habits are applicable and effective to develop your potential and strenghten relations. The essence of the 7 Habits is captured in the concepts of self leadership and life skills. The Leader in Me® is the proces in which the 7 Habits of Stephen Covey are included. Worldwide The Leader in Me® is applied wih astonishing success in more than 2000 elementary schools. More and more schools are becoming interested and active with the implementation of this great process.

The process effects the social emotional develop-ment and behaviour of students. And students make notable progress with language, literacy, numeracy.

The school grew fast to 550 students now and has a waiting list each year. The children are educated in leadership and life skills. This school found an answer to the question that many schools deal with: How can we focus on personality and leadership of students? Starting point for her were Covey's 7 Habits.
