Hello and welcome back to Franklin Covey's On Leadership with Scott Miller

Podcast that's me I'm your host an interviewer each week into our sixth year

350 plus episodes where twice a week on Tuesdays and on Fridays we release new episodes

shining the megawatt Franklin Covey spotlight onto thought leaders from a variety of different

industries and market segmentation.

Sometimes we interview our own thought leaders.

Perhaps it's Stephen M. R. Covey who wrote the book The Speed of Trust, or Chris McCheseney,

the lead author of the Four Displains of Execution.

In many cases, as people outside of the firm that we may have a passion about their legacy,

their content, we share common principles.

And as the world's most trusted leadership company, Franklin Covey likes to have what our founder, Stephen R. Covey, called an abundance mentality where we help to take our four-plus decade well-earned reputation and shine the light on people that

we think can make you a better leader.

Today we have an icon in the industry. His name is Bernie Swain. He is the founding

partner of what is the world's largest speaking company, the Washington

Speakers Bureau. If you are a CEO, a former Prime Minister, a former U.S. President,

if you've held a cabinet position, if you are a major person of influence, no doubt, you are represented by the Washington Speakers Bureau.

And although now retired from that Fern, he founded with his wife and a partner, living

between Massachusetts and Florida.

Bernie has chosen today to come and let me pick his brain

on all things around speaking and influence.

So if in any role in your life, as a to see suite, as a parent going to a PTA meeting,

as a person volunteering for your church, or mosque, or synagogue, or in any role you are trying to influence people.
