BYU MS has a new Webinar by Stephen M. R Covey.  Here is some information about him:

Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The SPEED of Trust—The One Thing That Changes Everything. He is the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which, under his stewardship, became the largest leadership development company in the world. Stephen personally led the strategy that propelled his father’s book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine.

​As President and CEO of Covey Leadership Center, Stephen nearly doubled revenues while increasing profits by 12 times. During that period, the company expanded throughout the world into over 40 countries, greatly increasing the value of the brand and enterprise. The company was valued at $2.4 million when Stephen was named CEO, and, within three years, he had grown shareholder value to $160 million in a merger he orchestrated with Franklin Quest to form FranklinCovey. Stephen co-founded CoveyLink, a consulting practice, which focuses on enabling leaders and organizations to increase and leverage trust to achieve superior performance. Stephen recently merged CoveyLink with FranklinCovey, forming the Global Speed of Trust Practice, where Stephen serves as Global Practice Leader.

The BYU Management Society Asia Pacific Area is hosting an area wide Business Plan Competition.  This years Business Plan Competition will have a very distinguished panel of judges. Our goal was to have an area wide BYU standard business plan competition that was open to all - BYU Graduates - non BYU Graduates,  old and young alike.

Though the competition got started a bit later than we hoped, we were still able to get submissions from Cambodia, Taiwan and Mongolia.  We hope to make this an annual event. so we look forward to our receiving many more business plans from many other countries and chapters in the coming years.

The business plan submissions will be judged in two phases.  The first phase will take place on Friday, May 17th, when a panel of judges will look at all the submissions and decide on the top 8 finalists.  Those finalist will then present their plans before the entire BYU Management Society Conference on Saturday, May 18th at 10:20 am .   Each finalists  will give a 3 minute presentation pitch that can be a video or a speech.   This will then be followed by an 5-8 minute Q & A sessions by the judges.  Those finalists who our not able to attend the conference, we will Skype or Conference call them in to give their presentation and to answers any questions about their project.

As we did not receive enough applications in every category, the judges will choose the overall winner and allot the other cash prizes.  The overall winner will also receive a ticket to fly to BYU in Provo Utah for the BYU Global Management Society Conference in the fall.  They will be acknowledged at that conference as the BYU MS Asia Pacific winner and will also received a VIP tour of BYU Provo.    ​

The BYU MS Asia Pacific would like  to thank Dr Jason Scott Earl of the Willes Center for International Entrepreneurship at BYU Hawaii for his invaluable insights and help in our setting up this competition. Dr Earl will be one of our judges for this business plan competition. Without the fundraising help of BYU MS Hong Kong and BYU MS Taiwan Chapters this business plan competition would not have been possible.

Giving Back to our communities  is one of the focuses of the BYU Management Society.   As part of the BYU MS Mongolia Conference we are seeking your help by Giving Back by Giving Warmth to impoverished children in Mongolia who are in dire need of proper winter clothing, winter boots and school supplies.

During the brutal winter months,  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia has the worse air pollution in the world (see our last post on how the BYU Capstone Ger Project is seeking  to help solve this  - One Ger at a Time). The air pollution is causing a lot of harm to the health of Mongolia’s children.

But what many do not realize is that many of these same children are now having to live under extreme winter weather changes, which is causing some even harsher bitter cold weather during the already cold winter months.  UNICEF recently estimated that due to these ever new harsh winter weather cycles, many Mongolian children just do not have adequate clothing to be able to properly attend school so their education is suffering. Poor families are just not equipped to give their children all the winter coats and boots they need to survive this ever harsher winter weather.     

How can you help?

You can help by supporting our Giving Back Give Warmth Project for the BYU MS Conference in Mongolia.

•     30 USD will help to support ONE Child with a backpack and some basic school supplies
•     95 USD will outfit ONE child with a very good quality winter coat and boots.
•     125 USD will fully support ONE child with a winter coat and boots plus the basic school supplies.
• 100% of everything you give will go to help these children.   ​

The BYU MS Mongolian team will personally go with Youth for Success, a Mongolian NGO established by some BYU graduates and Latter-day Saint church members to deliver these supplies to these Mongolian children in need.    

For your convenience, you will  find a PayPal  payment link on the bottom of our Giving Back Page (see our page link below) that will accept all major Credit Cards.

Your support in this Giving Back Project and the Youth For Success Charity is greatly appreciated.

Thank You!
