The National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) was privileged to have Sean Covey share at the 2018 Pre-K-8 Principals Conference in Orlando, FL. Sean’s relational presentation coupled with relevant content on The Four Disciplines of Execution highly resonated with attendees as reported on conference evaluations. His passion and support for educators was clearly evident in the way in which he shared. One of the presentation highlights was when he included students from a local elementary school to share in his presentation and bring their perspective on creating and initiating wildly important goals. NAESP sincerely appreciates the partnership with Sean Covey and the Franklin Covey team.-Gail K. Morgan, Associate Executive Director, Professional Learning, NAESP
