Speaker: Amanda "Jo" Erven
Topic: Becoming the Everyday Ethicist TM
Session overview: Doing things the right way the first time – A behavioral ethics CPE Program for licensed professionals.
Session objectives: Objective 1: The Assessment. We all have choices when it comes to our character. Take a short quiz to assess what character choice you are currently making. Analyze your past and present ethical issues, strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas for ethical improvement in your personal and professional life.
Objective 2: The “Big Me”. Would you keep the extra change accidentally given to you by the cashier? A “big me” would. We will explore this concept at work in society today by reviewing major recent frauds. You will begin to see how society has changed and how it has likely changed the culture of our organizations.
Objective 3: The Ethical Rationalizer. Would you go back in and pay for an item that accidentally got left in your cart? Or would you "rationalize" that it was only $5? We will review psychological research that proves we are not as ethical as we think we are. You will discover what typical rationalizations look like and what our ethical "blind spots" truly are.
Objective 4: The Everyday Ethicist. Would you never compromise your values no matter the cost? Do you believe in the motto "silence is not golden?" You will learn these and other characteristics of "the everyday ethicist," how to put the characteristics to work, and influence real culture change.
