On Tuesday, April 7 2009, The Center for Corporate Ethics (a division of the Institute for Global Ethics) will be presenting an Ethical Fitness® Seminar for the New York Metropolitan area. Email ethics@globalethics.org to register for this invitation-only seminar. The seminar will be facilitated by Marty Taylor, the Institute's senior consultant and master trainer.

The one-day Ethical Fitness® Seminar (EFS) is a positive, non-threatening, and highly interactive program based on Dr. Rushworth Kidder's landmark book, How Good People Make Tough Choices. The Ethical Fitness® Seminar is an innovative learning process that is difficult to describe because the participants bring much of the action and content to the Ethical Fitness framework.  It is not a lecture.  Each seminar is distinguished from others and underlined by the experiences shared by the participants.  However, the learning is consistent and the personal drama tends to heighten the impact of the learning. Participants claim greater awareness of ethical issues, higher levels of decision-making confidence, and a high degree of relevance to their job responsibilties.

The learning objectives for the EFS include the following:

• Recognizing why ethics matters—for individuals, for organizations, for the future
• Understanding trust—What is it?  What encourages trust?  What kills it?
• Tasking leadership with trust—What can leaders do to create a trust environment?
• Defining ethical values—Whose values?  How are they applied in the workplace?
• Analyzing ethical dilemmas—Right versus wrong?  Right versus right?
• Resolving dilemmas—Which principles best apply?
