In this newly developed course, business ethicist and TEDx speaker Morgan Hamel makes a compelling case for why traditional ethics training is no longer enough. Drawing on a vivid real-world example from her time as CEO of the ethical fashion company The Garment Inc., Morgan makes a strong case that the ethical environment has changed, and we can’t navigate it like we used to.   

Participants will explore the limits and tensions inherent in values-based decision-making and build key ethical leadership capacities, including moral humility and a commitment to viewpoint diversity. These are essential tools for navigating the gray zones of stakeholder tension, reputational risk, and public scrutiny. 

Through guided discussion and hands-on exercises, participants will also unpack key principles from behavioral ethics and cognitive science—such as the dangers of moral overconfidence and the “daffodil effect,” where a misalignment between intention and action quietly undermines trust. This interactive workshop equips accounting professionals with the insight, language, and leadership mindset needed to make sound ethical decisions when the path forward isn’t black and white. 

Key Outcomes: 

• Stronger ethical reasoning and self-awareness
• Tools to manage bias and recognize blind spots
• Strategies to navigate stakeholder tension with integrity
• Enhanced ability to build trust in ethically complex scenarios

Ideal for:?Executives, managers, and professionals navigating values-driven tension and polarization.
