That's where I'll leave you. We've covered trust, leadership, and why human intelligence is the real key to the future of work. The real question now is, what's one thing you can do today to build trust in your own team? Think about it. Big thanks to Todd for sharing his wisdom.

Thank you. Thank you so much. So yes, I have been with FranklinCovey for almost three decades. Prior to that, I worked in the medical industry for about 10 years and I was a recruiter. I recruited physicians and other medical personnel to staff hospitals and to staff clinics for a couple of organizations here in the Western United States where I live. and did that for about 10 years.

And then some friends of mine, they decided to form their own outsourcing company for human resource functions, for people functions. And so they had an attorney to handle employment law and they had a benefits person. And they asked me because I had been in recruiting for so long to join them and recruit for these various companies. And so organizations would contract with our group

And they asked me because I had been in recruiting for so long to join them and recruit for these various companies. And so organizations would contract with our group

provide these human resource services instead of hiring those kind of people inside their firm so we would contract with companies to provide those services and what was then called the Covey Leadership Center it was before Covey had merged with Franklin they were one of our clients and so they contracted with us and I was involved in finding their consultants to ironically to do what I do now finding their sales people and different things like that

And I had read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People about a year before I started working, being a contractor for them. And I was blown away by the content and how it was helping me already change my life. And this is 30 years ago. And so I loved being a contractor for them. And then they said, that they wanted to bring recruitment in-house. They wanted to hire a recruiter.

So I threw my hat in the ring and interviewed and was selected. So I started my journey with FranklinCovey as their recruitment manager. And then, if I'm going too long, you tell me to speed it up. But I worked as a recruitment manager. And then I had, in a previous life, I had worked as a content developer, putting together training programs.

So after I recruited for Covey for a while, we merged with Franklin Quest. Franklin Quest in the U.S. here was the time management company. They had the Franklin Day Planner. And everybody over here in the U.S. had these day planners. They were very famous for that. And Covey Leadership Center, as you mentioned, was famous for the seven habits.

And so we merged those companies and I went to work for their innovations department where we developed our training, different training solutions. And I did that for several years. And then the CEO at that time came to me, this would be about 20 years ago now, came to me and said, we would like you to apply for the chief people officer role. The person that was in that role had left.

And I said, that's great, but I don't have any human resource experience. I had recruited, but I didn't know anything about labor laws or employee relations or any of that. And he said, I know that, but you're really good with people. That's what he said. You're really good with people. So I applied for it and along with some other candidates and I was selected.
