Protect Your Speaking Business: Recognizing Ethics Risks That Cause Messy and Costly Problems – Chris Bauer PhD., CSP 

No one ever sets out to have ethics problems and yet they happen, even to those with the best of intentions. The key is recognizing risks so that you can prevent ethics problems rather than having to clean up after them. 

That’s what this program will help you do! This won’t be a review of the ethics code, case studies, or case law. Instead, it will be a unique program designed to help assure that you are better able to recognize often overlooked or ignored ethics risks before they have the chance to turn into messy and costly problems for your speaking business. 

What we’ll cover: 

+ Why knowing the CAPS ethics code isn’t enough to prevent you from having problems. (And what you DO have to know…) 

+ Four areas on which you need to sharply focus in your business to reduce ethics risk. 

+ How to recognize six often-overlooked or ignored significant red flags for ethics risk that are ‘hiding in plain sight’. Put these three sets of ideas together and you’ll already be on the road to reducing your risk for unintentional ethics problems in your speaking business. 

Ethics and fun aren’t words you normally hear in the same sentence. However, Christopher Bauer, Ph.D., CSP, has been making professional ethics both straightforward and fun – as well as profitable – for international audiences for more than 30 years. He will present ethics differently than you have probably ever experienced them before. The tone will be conversational and the ideas immediately applicable. 

You will leave with easy, practical ideas to reduce your risk for many of the types of ethical difficulties which can lead to incalculable legal, reputational, and financial damages to you and your speaking business.
