The leading authority on transforming teams and
organizations, Stephen M. R. Covey will deliver a keynote address
at Calix ConneXions 2023 that examines how broadband leaders can
build unbreakable bonds of trust with their teams, subscribers, and
communities
Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced today that one of the world’s
most influential experts on trust, leadership, and ethics in
business—Stephen M. R. Covey—will deliver the keynote address at
Calix ConneXions 2023. In this highly anticipated session, Covey
will conduct a vibrant discussion with attendees that demystifies
trust in business as merely a “soft skill.” Covey developed his
groundbreaking thesis on the role of trust in business in the New
York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling book, “The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes
Everything.” He argues that trust is the key ingredient for
creating a winning company culture.
First published in 2006, “The Speed of Trust” outlines how
establishing and growing trust with stakeholders is the key
competency leaders must develop to succeed in the new global
economy. Broadband service provider (BSP) leader attendees will
also have a chance to ask Covey questions about building trust,
fostering inspiration, and cultivating trustworthy partnerships in
their communities.
A renowned international speaker, Covey advises companies of all
sizes on harnessing the power of trust to create high-performing
organizations. He advocates that a high-trust culture accelerates
innovation and economic growth. Covey follows in the footsteps of
his father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of “The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People,” which is considered one of the most
influential business books of the past 100 years.
“The broadband industry is undergoing a massive disruption and
at the core of it will be a new business model that requires a BSP
to expand their trust with subscribers every day,” said Michael
Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix. “We have
invested $1.2 billion and 12 years on our platform and managed
services business model to enable Calix-partnered broadband service
providers to expand the relationship well beyond a fiber
connection. Our customers have spent decades building trust within
their communities, and the Calix model enables them to expand that
relationship to where they become the center of every home (with
regards to work, learning, and play), small business, and community
they serve. I look forward to Stephen M. R. Covey’s discussion on
how our customers can expand their well-deserved foundation of
trust as the broadband industry radically changes to advantage them
against the legacy service providers who are stuck in the
past.”
ConneXions 2023 will take place in Las Vegas, October 14–17, at
the Wynn Las Vegas. Now in its 18th year, ConneXions is the
broadband industry’s leading customer success and innovation
conference. Under the theme “Giant Steps Higher,” this year’s event
will bring together thousands of years of broadband experience
under one roof to shape the future of the industry. Attendees will
see firsthand how BSPs are partnering with Calix to build trusted
relationships with their subscribers that are taking customer
satisfaction scores to the next level. Many BSPs on the Calix
broadband platform have achieved incredible Net Promoter Scores℠ in
the 70s, 80s, and even 90s—unprecedented for the industry.
