  • Unlock Success with Wisdom: Sharpen the Saw — Stephen Covey / Abe Lincoln / King Solomon

    In 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey shares ancient wisdom with the words "Sharpen the Saw". In Sharpen the Saw, Stephen Covery highlights the deep wisdom of slowing down so that you can go faster and farther in life. "Sharpen the Knife in Your Life" is Andrea's modern paraphrase for these words and also her rendition of that wisdom.

    Habit 7 Sharpen the Saw shows us that having knowledge is very different than having wisdom. Knowing what to do and how to do it AND actually doing it are two different things. Wisdom is applied knowledge. Andrea will encourage you to make time in your life to "work on your work" and to sharpen what you need to sharpen in order to work smarter not just harder.
