Trust is not merely a nice, soft, social virtue. The loss of it results in huge economic consequences, which can destroy everything you have. Join Lynne McTaggart and Stephen M.R. Covey for this brilliant and inspired dialogue about the importance of fairness and trust in your business.

We are seeing a crisis of trust almost everywhere we turn, yet there is hope in spite of all the ruin, and it begins with an old-fashioned idea. Tennis star, Andy Roddick embodies it. And, so can you!

Stephen shares strategies that help Fortune 500 Company CEOs understand how trust is a hard-edged economic driver, even though it goes against the old win at all costs paradigm. And, he details the inside story on how Warren Buffet closed a huge deal with Walmart, in a single meeting.

Listen today as Stephen hands you building blocks to use and questions to ask in order to increase the trust that others have in you and your business, so you can start earning high trust dividends instead of paying low trust taxes.

If you’re feeling pulled to hear today’s call, trust your instincts!

STEPHEN M.R. COVEY BIO

Stephen M. R. Covey is co-founder and CEO of CoveyLink Worldwide. A sought-after and compelling keynote speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics, and high performance, he speaks to audiences around the world. He is the author of The SPEED of Trust, a groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting book that challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver—a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing. He advocates that nothing is as fast as the speed of trust and that the ability to establish, grow, extend and restore trust with all stakeholders is the critical leadership competency of the new global economy. Covey passionately delivers that message and is dedicated to enabling individuals and organizations to reap the dividends of high trust. Audiences and organizations alike resonate with his informed, practical
approach to real-time issues that affect their immediate and long-term performance.

He is the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which, under his stewardship, became the largest leadership development company in the world. Covey personally led the strategy that propelled his father’s book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine. A Harvard MBA, he joined Covey Leadership Center as a Client Developer and later became National Sales Manager and then
President & CEO. Under Covey’s direction, the company grew rapidly and profitably, achieving Inc. 500 status. As President & CEO, he nearly doubled revenues to over $110 million while increasing profits by 12 times. During that period, both customer and employee trust reached new highs and the company expanded throughout the world into over 40 countries. This greatly increased the value of the brand and company. The company was valued at only $2.4 million when Covey was named CEO, and, within
three years, he grew shareholder value to $160 million in a merger he orchestrated with then Franklin Quest to form FranklinCovey.

Over the years, Covey has gained considerable respect and influence with executives and leaders of Fortune 500 companies as well as with mid- and small-sized private sector and public sector organizations he’s consulted. Clients recognize his unique perspective on real-world organizational issues based on his practical experience as a former CEO. Covey currently serves on the board/advisory board of several entities, including the Human Performance Institute—the leader in energy management technology—where he serves as Advisory Board Chairman.

Covey resides with his wife and children in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains
