Keynote speaker: Christopher Bauer, licensed psychologist and ethics, values and trust expert; Biography >
Topic: Professional Ethics – A Preventive Maintenance Approach
This won’t be a review of the ethics code, case studies, or case law! Instead, it will be a unique program designed to help assure that you and your entire organization are able to more easily “walk the talk” of great ethics.
This often-humorous program will show us ethical risks we never even knew we had and what can be done right now to make sure those risks don’t turn into costly ethical and legal problems on the job. You will also learn how a slightly changed focus on ethics can significantly build your organization’s bottom line.
Ethics and fun aren’t words you usually hear in the same sentence. However, Christopher Bauer has been making professional ethics both straightforward and fun for international audiences for more than 25 years. He will present ethics differently than you have probably ever experienced them before. The tone will be conversational and the ideas will be immediately applicable.
You will leave with easy, practical ideas and tools to reduce your risk for ethics difficulties while simultaneously reducing the risk to your colleagues, coworkers, and the entire organization.
