Covey, internationally respected leadership expert and best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, will be the featured keynote speaker at the FranklinCovey (NYSE:FC) Greatness Summit. The one-day summit will be held on May 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas, 6333 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ. The event is being sponsored by the Southwest Regional Office of FranklinCovey, located in Phoenix. (www.franklincoveyleadershipsummit.com) "Our FranklinCovey Western Regional Office is so pleased to bring Dr. Covey to the area to discuss business-relevant issues that are affecting our community. We look forward to not only hearing his latest insights on leading and managing in the 21st Century, but also hearing the lessons he has learned as he has traveled and consulted these many years," said Debra Larson, Area Director, Arizona/New Mexico. Business executives, line leaders, managers, human resources leaders, training professionals and FranklinCovey client facilitators are invited to attend the summit, which will include a keynote speech from Covey, as well as sessions with other FranklinCovey executives and senior consultants. Attendees will learn how to improve their leadership skills, manage various generations in the workplace, engage employees and teams around a compelling purpose and how to inspire and move an organization to greatness. The schedule for the summit is as follows:

7:30 a.m. - Continental Breakfast - 8:30 - 8:45 a.m. - Welcome
8:45 - 9:45 a.m. - Leadership: Your Competitive Advantage - Bill Bennett, President, FranklinCovey Organizational Solutions: Leaders are challenged with finding the hidden value in organizations through cost containment or revenue opportunities in new markets. But, one of the greatest untapped resources comes from utilizing the potential capabilities of people. Capitalized assets have a possibility of 50-75% improvement (finite return), but human capability is unlimited and may represent the best path to achieving organizational greatness. Learn the latest research findings on Return on Investment in leadership development.
9:50 - 10:40 a.m. - Creating a Compelling Purpose - Todd Davis, Vice-President of Talent and Development, FranklinCovey: Have you ever had a job where tasks were clear but purpose was not? Or, have you ever had a compelling purpose statement but had no idea as to what to do in order to achieve it? Learn, as a leader, how to engage team members around a compelling purpose and build a winning organization.
11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. - Generations in the Workplace - Haydn Shaw, Senior Leadership and Generational Consultant, FranklinCovey: Today's leaders juggle four generations. To unleash their teams' full talent, they must appreciate each generation, whether they are Builders, Boomers, Generation X or Millennials. Leaders cannot appreciate all generations until they understand the challenges each has to overcome. Learn how and why generations work differently and want to be rewarded differently.
12:15 - 1:00 p.m. - Lunch (Provided)
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. - Leading Generations in the Workplace - Haydn Shaw, Senior Leadership and Generational Consultant, FranklinCovey: Four generations in the workplace at one time has created one of the most difficult leadership dilemmas in the history of business. Learn what motivates each of the four generations, how they learn and how to inspire them.
2:15 - 4:15 p.m. - Lessons Learned from a Senior Leader - Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman, FranklinCovey: "Old school" leadership styles have become irrelevant in the Knowledge Worker Age. People cannot be managed as if they are simply assets - or worse, liabilities - viewed in the organizational scheme on the same level as office furniture or computers. In order to unleash the potential of their teams, today's leaders must see workers as "whole people" (body, mind, heart and spirit) who have a unique contribution to make in moving the organization forward. Leaders must manage the knowledge each worker brings to the table, not just the tasks those workers are responsible for completing.

The cost for attending the summit is $449 per person or $399 per person for groups of six participants or more. Register at www.franklincoveyleadershipsummit.com or call Debra Larson, 602.667.9227.

Setting New Year's Resolutions? Keep It Simple, Choose Only One Resolution
Organizing and Time Management Expert Julie Morgenstern and

FranklinCovey Offer 10 Tips to Achieve Your Resolutions in 07

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Every year thousands of people set New Year's resolutions
as they reflect on their lives and ponder whether or not they are fulfilling their goals and
turning their dreams into accomplishments. Whether their resolution is to get in shape, get
out of debt, stop smoking, or spend more time with family, people make long lists of things
they resolve to do or not to do.

"Picture the heap of resolutions everyone makes each year, only to abandon them by February,"
said Julie Morgenstern, organizing and time management expert. "In our hearts, we know how
liberating and satisfying it would feel to achieve those resolutions or goals, but we set
too many with no plan for achieving them, so we don't accomplish anything and we are left
with feelings of frustration and guilt."

The best-selling author of Making Work Work, Organizing from the Inside Out, Time Management
from the Inside Out and Never Check E-mail in the Morning, Morgenstern is also a contributor to O,
The Oprah Magazine and has been interviewed by The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The
New York Times.
"If you are passionately committed to focusing on a resolution that aligns with your values,
you create a plan to make the time necessary to achieve it, and as you break the goal down
into tasks with deadlines, you are much more likely to be successful than just making a long list of lofty resolutions," said Morgenstern.
Morgenstern recently partnered with FranklinCovey(R) (NYSE:FC) to design and launch her first
exclusive organizing system and collection, Time Management Your Way. The new product line is based on her own methodology, which she has taught clients for 17 years, and is also closely aligned with the principles FranklinCovey teaches regarding time management, organization, productivity, and goal achievement.
Morgenstern and FranklinCovey offer the following tips for making and keeping resolutions in 2007:
10 Tips for Achieving New Year's Resolutions from Julie Morgenstern and FranklinCovey

1. Keep it Simple by Choosing Only One Resolution
Don't be overambitious with a resolutions list that is overwhelming and difficult to achieve.
Keep it simple by choosing one thing you are passionate about, which if achieved would give you
a sense of great accomplishment. If you're inspired to have more than one resolution,
divide your life into five areas: work, family, community, financial, and self.
Limit yourself to choosing no more than one per category and be realistic about what
you can and can't do.

2. Identify the "Why" Behind Your Resolution
When you identify the "why" behind making your resolution, it will strengthen your resolve
to keep it. The "why" connects you to your core values, which give your life meaning. Resolutions
should align with those values and represent what is most important to you (e.g., Exercise more.
Why - To boost my energy and strength).

3. Make a Plan
Resolutions are broken more quickly when there is no plan in place. Plan weekly and daily,
reserving specific time in your schedule devoted to achieving your goal (e.g., Spend more time
with family. Plan - At the beginning of the week, schedule family dinners, outings, etc. on your calendar).

4. Write Down Your Resolutions
Writing down your resolutions transforms them into concrete, specific intentions. Keep them
in a planning system for daily review. Reviewing written goals helps you focus your intentions
and make daily choices that will lead you to achieve your goals.

5. Break Resolutions Down Into Smaller Pieces
It's easier to achieve your resolution if it's not so overwhelming. Break your goal down into
smaller projects, and make a list of the tasks you must complete to finish each project. Assign
realistic deadlines for completing each project and its associated tasks.

6. Track Your Success with Benchmarks
A resolution is a goal you accomplish over time. Every time you complete a project or task that
moves you closer to your goal, record it in your planning system. Tallying small benchmarks
over the course of a week or month is motivating and rewarding because you can see your progress.
Celebrate each achievement!

7. If You Fail, Eliminate Guilt and Start Again
If you break your resolution and are laden with guilt, don't beat yourself up, just begin again.
Everyone struggles when making changes or trying to achieve goals. You may fail a number of times, but the key is to keep trying and stop feeling guilty. Start again!

8. Reward Yourself
Determine motivating rewards for completing a step toward your goal. Celebrate your success with
those rewards along the way!

9. Find a Mentor
Enlist someone you trust to help you as you work toward your goal. This person should encourage you when you are struggling and celebrate your successes, instead of discouraging you.

10. If Your Resolution Isn't Working, Replace it
If you find you aren't achieving your resolution, take it off your list. You may not be passionate enough about it or ready to fulfill it at this time. It isn't a negative thing, or a sign of failure; it is a question of timing. Choose another resolution you are excited about and ready to achieve.

"The only person who can really change you is you," said Morgenstern. "Invest in yourself this year by working on something that will positively impact your life. Choose your resolutions carefully, understand that baby steps are fine, and enjoy making more progress this year than last year."
