The Passing of a Mentor - Mr. Stephen Covey

I would like to begin by offering my heartfelt condolence to the Covey family.  

I first met Dr. Covey when I lived in Belgium.  He was the keynote speaker at a conference I attended.  My first thought "Wow”.  Mr. Covey received a resounding ovation when he finished his speech.  It was a precursor to the yet-to-be-released critically acclaimed 1988 book:  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  He understood my “not one size fits all” viewpoint when interacting with people, regardless of geographical location or socio-economic circumstances.  I joined the Covey Community last year and have always received great support when I called or e-mailed them with questions.  They are never too busy to respond.  It has become another arena to connect with people globally.  His legacy of human relations is one of empathy and humor.  I will miss waiting for “the next book.”
