In this interactive discussion, we'll explore how the ICF Code of Ethical Conduct can be your guiding light to demonstrate your professionalism, avoid ethical conflicts, and prevent you from losing an engagement over ethical issues. We'll start with a discussion about where ethics come from. Are they hard and fast rules, or something else? Then we’ll use actual case studies to translate the theory of the Code into the reality of situations with clients and sponsors. As we explore the cases, we'll adjust the facts to see how our assessment of the situation changes as the facts change. Come prepared to have fun as we challenge thinking and "knee jerk" responses.
