Making the right decision when it comes to ethics might not seem like the most challenging task in the workplace, and most of the time, in the best companies, making the right decision is automatic. However, the good name and reputation of any organization can be vulnerable to a poor decision made by one rogue leader, a small number of employees or even one employee. This presentation reinforces the value of ethical behavior by illustrating that in the best organizations ethical behavior is valued, considered the norm, and contributes to steady growth and profitability.
This upbeat presentation on ethics contains easy-to-understand definitions of ethics, guidelines for tackling difficult decisions, practical examples, and a generous amount of humor for a positive and high-energy presentation.

Is there an ethical/ moral obligation that enters into this conversation?
This program offers insights and solutions to help expand the culture of respect in the workplace.
“Frank delivered on every promise, is extremely easy to work with, and an absolute joy to know. He did a three-hour presentation for our Ethics Day – 2015, and brought such comments as ‘Best seminar I have attended’, ‘Great presentation!’ and ‘Excellent – really got a lot out of this!!’ on evaluations from attendees. This was an event for insurance professionals, including FSP, NAIFA, CPCU, and NAHU members. Perhaps the most telling comment in response to the question of a recommendation for speaker in the future was: ‘Frank Bucaro’ — If you haven’t asked Frank to speak, you are missing the boat!”
“Frank Bucaro is a dynamic and engaging speaker. His thorough grasp on the subject of ethics, combined with his enthusiastic delivery and open demeanor help to expedite communication between him and his audience and create an atmosphere from which both parties experience growth, learning, and inspiration.”
“Frank Bucaro is a speaker who truly lives his content. I know of no other individual more closely associated with—or more qualified to speak on—the field of professional ethics than he. My conversations with Frank always result in great ideas as to how I can create more value as a speaker. He is a wealth of knowledge on the craft, and an inspiration to people who want to climb to the top of it. Without reservation, I am pleased to offer this recommendation. If you look up ethics in the dictionary, by all rights, you should see a photo of Frank Bucaro.”
