R Covey, a loss will hardly be filled up ever. I was immensely impressed with his thought on TRUST a vital resource for an organization to progress. May ALLAH keep the departed soul in peace and help the family to bear the loss.

In the myriad well-deserved eulogies that will commemorate Stephen’s life, it will be hard to overstate his immense impact on so many of us directly, and on those we influence by extension. Dr. Covey’s work has affected me deeply–to my professional and personal DNA–and, like you, has made it possible for me to build upon a solid foundation to rise to even greater heights.

Not at all to distract from Stephen’s well-deserved praise, but you and your colleagues are likewise making the world a better place with your work. There are many of us who do and will thank you for contributing to make our lives measurably more vital. Your work is a fitting tribute to Stephen and other giants like him whose work enriches professional and personal lives.

So sorry for your loss; I do remember hearing that you started with the Covey organization. Remember to take care of yourself at this difficult time.

Crucial Conversations and 7 habits are both required reading for my Coaching clients and at every seminar and workshop I run they are on display and referenced. Now joined by Change Anything.

I purchased The 7 Habits soon after publication on a trip to Boston (I live in the UK). It changed my paradigm and caused me to change the lives of others as a result. It took me quite a few years to exit the world of IT and enter coaching – a step that felt like coming home to where I belong. I know that this was triggered by the teachings of Stephen R Covey. The 7 Habits of highly Effective People is my guidebook for life.

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for one of Stephen’s workshops in London many years ago and I remember it vividly to this day. Thank you Stephen.
