It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope. ~Ursula Le Guin
 

Ethical Decision-Making

The Ethical Fitness® Seminar provides the tools and develops the confidence required to
resolve ethical dilemmas that face us daily.
 

Designed by The Institute for Global Ethics, it is based on two assumptions: 1) Fundamental, shared values can be discovered and applied; 2) Individuals and organizations are capable of “ethical fitness”—which, like physical fitness, keeps us in mental shape to recognize and
address ethical dilemmas.
