My guest today, Vera Cherepanova, shares the importance of being ethical at work and how we can leverage our values to create safer work environments.

In my discussion with Vera, we chatted about:

1. Why ethics is so important to Vera, and how she got into her line of work.
2. The definition of ethical leadership.
3. How ethics and compliance support the growth of an organization.
4. How we can hold true to our values as working women when working in male-dominated industries.
5. How we can advance from leadership to a seat on a company’s board.
6. And more.
