Stephen M. R. Covey to Deliver Calix ConneXions Keynote

SAN JOSE, CA – Calix Inc. announced today that Stephen M. R. Covey, an expert on trust, leadership, and ethics in business, will deliver the keynote address at Calix ConneXions 2023. In this highly anticipated session, Covey will conduct a vibrant discussion with attendees that demystifies trust in business as merely a “soft skill.”

Covey developed his thesis on the role of trust in business in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling book “The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything.” He argues that trust is the key ingredient for creating a winning company culture.

First published in 2006, “The Speed of Trust” outlines how establishing and growing trust with stakeholders is the key competency leaders must develop to succeed in the new global economy. Broadband service provider (BSP) leader attendees will also have a chance to ask Covey questions about building trust, fostering inspiration, and cultivating trustworthy partnerships in their communities.

A renowned international speaker, Covey advises companies of all sizes on harnessing the power of trust to create high-performing organizations. He advocates that a high-trust culture accelerates innovation and economic growth. Covey follows in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” which is considered one of the most influential business books of the past 100 years.
