“The interactive aspect and the entertainment style of the lecture made the whole workshop seem short.”
– Seminar attendee, Denmark
Event Description
Can I be socially responsible and still earn a living? Can I work in my industry and still be true to my ethics? Can I say no to a assignment I don’t believe in without losing a job? Yes, yes, and yes!
The true measure of our commitment to ethics as professionals is not in lofty ideals, but in the choices we make every day in our work. The good news is that these dilemmas have answers: choices that aren’t just good for your principles, but are also good for your customers… and your career. Attend this event if you are challenged with the kind of tough situations professionals are confronted with day-to-day. Learn refreshing approaches, in a forum that is fun and thought-provoking, to a professionalism that will have you sleeping well every night.
