economic crisis in this country we\u2019ve heard a lot about all of the companies that have abused trust.\u00a0 We are in the midst of a global crisis of trust.\u00a0 But what we haven\u2019t been hearing much about are those companies and individuals who have been prospering during these tough times, and why trust is probably the most important life and leadership skill of our time.\u00a0 Are you smart about trust?<\/p>\n<p>Stephen first established the global relevance of trust with his <em>New York Times <\/em>and <em>Wall Street Journal <\/em>bestseller <strong><em>The Speed of Trust<\/em><\/strong>, which sold more than one million copies in 22 languages.\u00a0\u00a0<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft

Covey, &#8220;Low trust was the key to the breakdown of the global economy and is now the critical key to restoring it.&#8221;\u00a0 In today&#8217;s networked world, trust has become the new currency&#8211;the critical competency for individuals, teams, organizations, and even countries.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m honored and privileged to have Stephen join me this evening to discuss his latest book, <em><strong>Smart Trust:\u00a0 Creating Prosperity, Energy, and Joy in a Low-Trust World<\/strong><\/em>, which he co-authored with his long-time business partner Greg Link.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen is the Co-founder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Global Speed of Trust Practice.\u00a0 As a much sought-after speaker and adviser on trust, leadership, ethics, sales, and high performance, Stephen speaks to audiences worldwide.\u00a0 He\u2019s the <em>New York Times<\/em> and #1   <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> bestselling author of <em><strong>The Speed of Trust<\/strong><\/em>, which is a groundbreaking, paradigm-shifting book that challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that it is a hard-edged economic driver that is a learnable, measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing.\u00a0 Covey 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.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen is also the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which, under his stewardship, became the largest leadership development company in the world.\u00a0 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 has consulted with.\u00a0 His unique perspective on real-world organizational issues based on his practical experience as a former CEO has made him a much-sought after consultant and speaker.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about Stephen and
