“My dad attended an evening workshop with Stephen R. Covey just after the book the 7 Habits of Highly effective People was published in 1989. When dad came home, he left the book on the kitchen counter. The title caught my attention, and I snagged the book off the counter and read it cover to cover. I don’t think my dad ever saw the book again.” Aaron attended school at Utah State University graduating in Business Management with his favorite classes being organizational behavior. Performance improvement and self-help topics have always captivated Aaron’s attention. When Aaron graduated, he deliberately pointed the bat at FranklinCovey as the company he wanted to work for.
