When we say that a person has had a great career, what do we mean? That he or she made a lot of money? Moved spectacularly up the corporate ladder? Became famous or renowned in their profession?

And what about you? Are you looking forward to a great career? Would you describe your current career as “great”?

How do you create a great career for yourself? Can you have a great career and still have a great life at the same time, keeping the things you love – family, friends, work, and play – all in balance? 

The answer is, “It depends.”  It depends on how you want to contribute and how you define balance.   

Based on content featured in the soon to be released book Great Work, Great Career, by Dr. Stephen R. Covey and Jennifer Colosimo, in this webcast Jennifer will share critical, insightful principles and practices to help you discover your great career by discovering what your contribution will be and how you will make it.

Hello to thousands of our friends worldwide on the new FranklinCovey blog.

What is this blog about? Well, our FranklinCovey mission is to enable greatness in people and organizations everywhere.

It sounds pretty ambitious to help everybody become great. It sort of depends on how you define the word “great.” Maybe you feel a little weary just reading our mission statement-I know I do. Sometimes just getting up in the morning is a “great” accomplishment.

But at FranklinCovey it’s a mission we deeply believe in.

This is what we mean by our mission: We’d like to help you and everybody else live a great life.

What could be a more energizing mission than that?

That’s why we’ve started this blog.

We’re going to discover among ourselves what it means to live a great life-how you personally can live a great life-and how together we can help other people live a great life.

When you come to this blog you’ll be blown away by the ideas for living not just a pleasant life, a secure life, a nice life-but a truly great life.

Sometimes we’ll talk about people who have made a great impact on the world, famous people, the kind of people we usually call “great.”

But just as often we’ll talk about people who look deceptively ordinary but are actually incredibly great. People who have chosen greatness in the circle they live in, no matter how small that circle.

People like you.

And that’s why we’re inviting you to send us your own stories of greatness . . . stories about great people you know. Stories about people who have transcended the boundaries of the everyday, who have made unique contributions, who have made a compelling difference.

And together we’ll discover what such people are made of.
