For organizations that want to develop internal training capability, the Institute created the Train-the-Trainer workshop. This program equips a client's employees with the skills and conceptual background to roll out the Ethical Fitness® program companywide.
The heart of the Institute's program—the Ethical Fitness® Seminar—is a pithy, tightly structured, fast-moving program that accomplishes its goal quickly. We've spent years honing our training skills to make sure the ethics message is delivered soundly and efficiently. Our Train-the-Trainer workshop is designed to help new trainers become just as effective.
The Train-the-Trainer workshop provides important conceptual background and skills—from ethics vocabulary, history, and philosophy to practice in fielding difficult questions, providing relevant and interesting examples, and sharing personal anecdotes with workshop participants. Honing leadership and group development skills, the workshop helps new trainees build the confidence and capacity to train their colleagues and coworkers in the Ethical Fitness® process.

"How Good People Make Tough Choices" clarifies, challenges, and instructs. It is not a flight into some ideal world, but a fascinating plunge into the ethical problems of home, office, shop, and street corner."
John W. Gardner
"Rushworth Kidder is the best sort of philosopher, one who can bring home the force of an abstract principle by means of a telling real-life example. The result is a valuable guide to more informed and self-conscious moral judgments ."
Bill Bradley
