Interdependence is a choice only independent people can make
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Image
I love interaction with audiences. If were my choice, I would spend most of my time interacting with audiences. Walking around and asking them to challenge me.
Stephen Covey
Image
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
Stephen Covey
Image
The power of transcendent vision is greater than the power of the scripting deep inside the human personality and it subordinates it [the scripting], submerges it, until the whole personality is reorganized in the accomplishment of that vision.
Stephen Covey
Image
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Image
Vision is about more than just getting things done, accomplishing some task, achieving something it is about discovering and expanding our view of others, affirming them, believing in them, and helping them discover and realize the potential within them-helping them find their own voice.
Stephen Covey
Image
Self-awareness is our capacity to stand apart from ourselves and examine our thinking, our motives, our history, our scripts, our actions, and our habits and tendencies.
