Sean Covey is an advocate and consultant in educational tranformation, focusing on the need to put less emphasis on academics and more emphasis on finding and developing the unique talents of each student. Sean collaborates with parents, educators, schools, and kids to give youth the skills, support, and inspiration they need to be the best person they can be. He is the best-selling author of various books dealing with leadership and character development including The 7 Habits of Healthy Teens and The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.
Currently Sean serves as Vice-President for FranklinCovey, a global company that specializes in performance improvement through making changes to human behavior. He has overseen development of the majority of their materials and programs along with the partnerships they hold in over 150 countries.
Sean credits his own success to two adults that made a great impact on him when he was young: 1. His 7th grade speech teacher who took him under her wing at a time when he absolutely hated school. 2. His high school football coach who kept him on the field even after Sean did terribly the first half of his first game. Sean believes that if it weren’t for him, he never would have gone on to be a starting quarterback for Brigham Young University and ESPN’s MVP two times.
Sean is also FranklinCovey′s Education Practice Leader and is devoted to transforming education around the globe through bringing leadership principles and skills to as many kids, educators, and schools as possible.
He is a New York Times bestselling author and has written several books, including The 6 Most Important Decisions You′ll Ever Make, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, which has been translated into 20 languages and sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
He is a seasoned speaker to kids, teens, and adults and has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows.
Sean graduated with honors from BYU with a Bachelor′s degree in English and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. As the starting quarterback for BYU, he led his team to two bowl games and was twice selected as the ESPN Most Valuable Player of the Game.
Sean Covey surveys the changes educators feel need to occur within our school systems including a greater emphasis on developing students as individuals and the importance of teachers as role models. He offers his own observations on what school faculties can do to turn talk into true transformation. “If we’re not careful you can talk so much and be so scared about trying something that you don’t do anything, because there’s no perfect silver bullet,” Sean warns. “So my advice would be to listen to everything you’ve heard, but also move forward in bold ways and try things. I think there are several different approaches to improving our schools, and to individualizing better, so that we can help kids bring out unique talents.”
Sean Covey talks about his international program “The Leader in Me,” which aims to transform schools for the better.
