"Blown away quite frankly. Great balance of content and practicality, engaging speaker to what could be dry material. Almost seemed as though watching the news versus a formal lecture. Fantastic!" - Mary

You are told to be ethical, and make ethical decisions, but are usually not provided with the practical tools to help you make ethical decisions. Instead of the usual check-box ethics training, you get practical, everyday tools you can use in your professional and personal life to make better decisions.

Ethical decisions usually mean make a choice between two rights and includes balancing various needs in order to make what is considered an ethical decision. This is what makes ethical decision making so hard, because there doesn’t seem to be one correct answer.

"Provides excellent tools which I feel will make ethical dilemmas less overwhelming to deal with. I would make this required learning for all new managers - the sooner you learn, the better." - Hyoe

  • Learn the difference between ethics, morality, and compliance.
  • Define the types of ethical decisions and which are applicable to the decision you need to make.
