Most ethical miscues, professional responsibility breaches, and compliance violations don’t arise out of arcane, ambiguous provisions of the applicable rules or codes of conduct, but, in fact, for clear breaches of obvious, well-defined obligations. It’s not rocket science—in fact, anyone who has sat in on a basic professional responsibility class or compliance training would know such conduct is ethically problematic. And yet it happens. A lot. Even to our own friends and colleagues.

This engaging, highly interactive program provides a fresh and practical perspective on the fundamental question, “Why do ‘good’ people ‘go bad’?” Based on an original short film we wrote and co-produced, this workshop provides a lively way to explore the intersection of ethical decision-making and the manifold sources of stress encountered by professionals and employees in their everyday lives.
