Ethics: What You Do When No One Is Looking

Course Number:  089-PC
Recommended Duration:  1 Day

Course Overview
This course will help you discover core ethical values and a process of ethical reasoning with The Ethical Type Indicator (ETI), a self-scoring, personal assessment tool that reveals your primary ethical decision-making preference or ethical type. The discovery and cognitive awareness of your primary ethical type or preference can be the beginning of further ethical exploration, personal insight, and evolution toward higher ethical principles, standards, and behavior. You will then be empowered to better recognize, analyze, and resolve future ethical dilemmas as you encounter them in your personal life and professional career. With this new knowledge, you will have a greater understanding and appreciation of the diverse ethical and moral beliefs of others. This will enhance your ability to communicate with and persuade others to ethical decisions and behavior.
