Sean Covey

Sean Covey is an accomplished author, innovator, speaker, and business executive. He is well-known for his work in the field of personal development, particularly for his contributions to helping teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence.

Covey's passion for helping young people grew out of his own experiences as a teenager. He was a talented football player and served as the starting quarterback for Brigham Young University during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. However, an ankle sprain sidelined him, leading him to reflect on his future and what he truly wanted to achieve in life. This introspection led him to write "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens," a book that applies the principles of his father Stephen R. Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" to the lives of teenagers.

In addition to "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens," Covey has also written "The 6 Most Important Decisions You Will Ever Make," a book that guides teenagers through the six big choices they will make during their teenage years. These decisions include School, Friends, Parents, Dating and Sex, Addictions, and Self Worth. Covey's work has been widely recognized and he is highly respected for his ability to connect with young people and provide them with practical advice for navigating the challenges of adolescence.

Covey is also a successful business executive, serving as the Vice President of Retail for the FranklinCovey company, one of the world's premier leadership authorities. He is a graduate of Harvard Business School and lives in Utah with his wife and four children. Through his writing, speaking, and business leadership, Covey continues to inspire and empower young people to make the most of their lives and become the best version of themselves.
