       FOREWORD

      BY STEPHEN M. R. COVEY

      My late father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, made a strong case in his bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, for choosing our response to the conditions and conditioning of our lives. In fact, this principle, that we are free to choose and are responsible for our choices, is the basis for his first habit, be proactive. It also is the foundational principle for all the other habits.

      In my book The Speed of Trust, I make the case for cultivating relationships of trust in order to accelerate desired outcomes and results. I believe that nothing is as fast as the speed of trust and that nothing is as profitable as the economics of trust. But to sustain relationships of trust with others, we must first begin by trusting ourselves. Trust is an inside-out process. For example, we’ll have a hard time sustaining trust with others if we don’t trust ourselves, because at some point that distrust of self will typically get projected out into our relationships. But with self-trust as our foundation, it becomes far more natural and abundant for us to create and sustain trust in our relationships, teams and organizations.

      In this book 5 Habits to Lead from Your Heart, my cousin, Johnny Covey, has his own unique way of combining these two concepts. He focuses on the proactive behavior of choosing in a way that favors the heart without excluding the head. Learning to trust our heart is the most important thing each of us can do for ourselves, and Johnny shows us how we can do this intentionally. He shows us how we can exercise courage in being who we really are, how we can use our imagination and intelligence to consciously create our experience and how our choices profoundly affect what we think, feel and do.
