Sean Covey Profile

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.

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.
