Leading by the Speed of Trust
June 19th, 2009 Edmonton, Alberta




Learn how trust is the one thing that changes everything, and how it will build your competitive edge through better leadership, productivity, and relationships. Join world-renowned author and lecturer, Stephen M.R. Covey, for a transformational morning for current and aspiring leaders in any organization. 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.
