1:00 The resonance of ethics

The aspiration of culture and flexibility

Happiness comes from purpose

Serving by helping others help themselves

4:00 The value of culture first

Lean into your strengths and talents while improving your weaknesses

We don’t serve our cause or our partners by pressuring people to be automatons

A diverse community promotes vibrancy and creativity

You can’t sell an idea if you don’t live it yourself

9:00  Why don’t leaders recognize the profitability of a healthy company culture?

Our best intentions may not survive the pressure of the status quo

We don’t have patience to wait for change to improve our lives

13:00  COVID is the Great Revealer

Crisis brings out the best and the worst

Adaptability is the key to enduring success

How do we benefit from weaponized ethics?

15:00 Are we responding to a virtual world by creating a culture of mistrust?

The paradox of monitoring tools

19:00 A lot of our training is broken

Salespeople are forced to sell outdated solutions rather than participate in creating new ones

Imagine sales teams and creative teams working together

23:00 Why is compliance the enemy of ethics?

Using the law to subvert the law is a toxic mindset

Fear of change urges people to go backward

26:00 Hierarchy of values can work against us

Cultural values have to be lived, not just spoken

Compliance is the safety platform but doesn’t encourage growth

30:00 Always do what’s in the best interest of everyone

Risk, creativity, and vision

Ethics sherpas help leaders up the compliance mountain

Leaders project the values that define a culture

35:00 Children of heroes become heroes (and vice versa)

Followers are “children” of their leaders

You can’t make plants grow, you can only provide a healthy environment

40:00 Reframe anxiety as excitement

We live in exciting times if we visualize where we can go

43:00 The word of the day:  insouciant

We have to balance being free from anxiety against being careless and cavalier

We need a measure of tension if we are going to grow and achieve

Life is more like baseball than like brain surgery
