UpClose with Stephen M.R. Covey
Leading at the SPEED of Trust

"Covey brilliantly focuses on that overlooked bedrock of democratic capitalism – trust. Like the air we breathe, we too often take this critical intangible for granted. As Covey makes clear, we do so at our ultimate competitive peril."

- Steve Forbes

Demand for high trust leaders is at an all time high in organizations across all industries today because trust directly impacts performance and sustainability in this new, flat world economy. Stephen M.R. Covey’s fast-paced and engaging seminar, Leading at the SPEED of Trust, dramatically reveals trust as the hidden variable that will become your most leverage-able tool, fueling you and your organisation’s current strategic imperatives.

Stephen M.R. Covey is the author of The SPEED of Trust, a 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.

Covey speaks from the practical and informed perspective of a CEO, not as a theorist. His presentation is informed by his experience as the CEO of a hundred-million dollar firm. Covey personally led the strategy that propelled his father's book, Dr. Stephen M.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.

An engaging speaker who speaks with the authority of an international expert on leadership, ethics, and trust, Covey passionately advocates that the ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust with all stakeholders is the critical leadership competency of the new global economy. You will resonate with his informed, practical approach to real-time issues that affect you and your organisation’s immediate and long-term performance.

He was inspiring, entertaining, and the results from our time have led to faster and more efficient interaction with our teams. In a world awash with ‘How To’ seminars, this was the best I have ever been a part of."
