FranklinCovey Partners with World of Business Ideas to Have Renowned Thought Leaders and Bestselling Authors Present at 2024 World Business Forum Events

September 10, 2024 at 08:10 AM EDT

Stephen M. R. Covey, Bestselling Author of The Speed of Trust and Trust & Inspire, and Anne H. Chow, Former CEO of AT&T Business and Author of the New Book, Lead Bigger, to Present in Cities Around the Globe

FranklinCovey (NYSE: FC), one of the most trusted leadership companies in the world, announced today a partnership with World of Business Ideas (WOBI). FranklinCovey renowned thought leaders and authors, Stephen M. R. Covey and Anne H. Chow, will present at the 2024 World Business Forum events in five cities across the globe – New York, Bogota, Mexico City, Madrid and Sydney. Each two-day WOBI event will focus on today’s most relevant organizational business issues.

Covey is a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything and Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others. He is a global authority on trust, leadership and culture and will present practical insights and tools from his latest work on how leaders can transcend the prevailing command and control approach to people and performance, and instead inspire and build high-trust cultures of performance. Trust is a complete non-negotiable—and the ability to inspire, on purpose, and as a matter of course, is a differentiator and a competitive advantage today like nothing else.

Chow, former CEO of AT&T Business and FranklinCovey Lead Director, will share her leadership lessons on creating high performing teams. Many of these insights are captured in her new book, LEAD BIGGER: The Transformative Power of Inclusion (On sale: September 10), which offers a new framework for prioritizing the leadership imperative of inclusion that is essential for the success of any organization and society at large. It's not just about thinking more expansively - it's about leading that way too. Chow leverages her extensive industry experience to showcase her growth-oriented, human-centric leadership approach. Her insights are grounded in over three decades of management roles including her tenure leading a $35 billion global business with 35,000 employees, where she adeptly steered the organization through the pandemic and beyond.

“WOBI is the world’s premiere business event for showcasing our most respected thought leaders, experts and authors, as they speak to thousands of dedicated business professionals who are looking to implement change in their organizations,” said FranklinCovey CEO, Paul Walker. “Covey and Chow will present key principles, practices, and skills that attendees can implement immediately within their organizations to drive collective action, results, and growth. We look forward to engaging with business leaders globally who attend WOBI events.”

Chris Stanley, WOBI’s Global Content Director, said, “We’re honored to partner with FranklinCovey and so look forward to having Covey and Chow on stage this year and to learning from them. Our attendees absorb wisdom from these distinguished business experts through a curated program that tackles today’s most pressing leadership challenges head-on. They walk away with transformative ideas and the inspiration to turn them into reality, as well as networking with thousands of decision makers, innovators, and industry leaders.”

The partnership between FranklinCovey and WOBI is a combination of two powerful organizations focused on improving and accelerating business results and growth.
