Creating leaders, one child at a time
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 03 - 2015

Franklincovey Middle East, a global company that specializes in performance improvement of organizations, has announced the first ever visit of world-renowned author and motivational speaker Sean Covey to the Middle East.
During his tour, Sean will discuss how “The Leader In Me” whole-school transformation model – developed in partnership with educators – empowers students with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st Century. The Leader In Me, builds on the work of Dr Stephen R Covey's The 7Habits of Highly Effective People and redefines what school greatness means by focusing on culture, leadership and academics.
Sean Covey, who is also the Executive Vice President Global Solutions and Partnerships and Education Practice Leader of Franklincovey, will be visiting Riyadh on March 22 & 23, Abu Dhabi on March 24 and Dubai on March 25, 2015.
Today's changing world has a whole new set of rules, to which our youth will need to adapt. Key skills businesses and educators identified as vital to the futures of today's students are developed within The Leader in Me process. These skills include: Leadership, Accountability, Adaptability, Initiative and Self-Direction, Cross-Cultural skills, Responsibility, Problem Solving, Communication Skills, Creativity and Teamwork.
‘The Leader in Me' is a school-wide process that develops staff and students as leaders and thereby transforms the culture and performance of the school. While raising pedagogical standards, The Leader in Me draws on the world-class content of FranklinCovey, including The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which staff, students and parents adopt as a common language. The Leader in Me schools seamlessly integrate leadership development into their daily curriculum, activities and systems; it becomes the school's operating system. A school culture is created where every student is encouraged to set and achieve meaningful goals, to be a positive influence on others and to use his or her individual gifts to better the world. ‘The Leader in Me' process strives ‘to build leaders, one child at a time.'
Sean said, “The Middle East represents a diverse geographic spread and a fantastic opportunity to build on the engagement of students, staff and parents. The education sector in the Middle East is highly viable thanks to a population heavily skewed towards youth. The Leader in Me is producing transformational results in over 2,000 schools worldwide and we are excited to bring the process to the Middle East.
“Our vision is that one day our entire community will be impacted with citizens who are lifelong leaders and learners.”
In Riyadh, Sean is set to meet with officials from Saudi Arabia's Educational sector and large corporate organizations. In the UAE he will meet the principals, teachers and parents from various schools under the Abu Dhabi Education Council in the country's capital and with deans and senior executives of colleges and universities to be hosted at the American University in Dubai (AUD) to highlight the '7 Habits for College Students,' which will empower them with the tools for achieving success in the future.
Sean graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a degree in English and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School and is known for writing motivational books for children and teens like Fourth Down and Life to Go: How to Turn Life's Setbacks into Triumphs as his 1st motivational work published in 1990, The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make: A Guide for Teens, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens' which became a New York Times Best Seller.
Sean lives by the common saying, “You're only young once, but you can be immature forever”. He acknowledges that we only get one chance to prepare our students for a future none of us can predict. But the question is what are we going to do with that one chance? — SG
