Celebration Story – Balancing the 8 Keys
The 8 Keys of Excellence are my life. Every Key flows into the other to support me every day in living the fullest life possible. My Failure Leads to Success: when I fail, I look for the learning and remain Committed to the goal. When the first attempt doesn't work, I become Flexible. I change direction and move forward. Giving up is not an option—I am too Committed. My actions and behavior are mine to Own. When they are on target I feel proud and when I miss the mark I acknowledge that and try something different. I Speak with Good Purpose, I think about the words I say and how they will be heard, understood, and interpreted. Is my communication open, honest, direct, and clear? I remember, as I am going through my day, that my attitude affects my results. This Is It!, after all—I'll never have this time again—am I making the best use of my time, energy, and efforts? The Keys have become my values and my behaviors demonstrate them. When I follow the 8 Keys of Excellence I have Integrity, Balance, and joy.

Family ProgramThe 8 Keys of Excellence family character development program gives parents a simple and engaging eight-week action plan for establishing core character principles in their kids, strengthening family relationships and deepening the feeling of belonging, safety and connectedness.
When you register for this free program, you gain login access to the family area of this website, which contains a wealth of 8 Keys resources, videos, and a “My Family” page where you can keep notes throughout the program and a discussion board to interact with other families.
