Workplaces are filled with difficult decisions, where the "right" choice often isn’t clear-cut. Ethical decision-making requires more than just policies and principles—it demands balance, mindfulness, and the courage to act with integrity.
This webinar introduces a framework for ethical decision-making, rooted in the practice of mindfulness and guided by prosocial assertiveness. Learn how to achieve equanimity—a state of calm and focused balance—so you can approach workplace challenges with clarity and conviction. By combining mindful awareness with the ability to advocate for ethical outcomes, you’ll gain the tools to move through complex situations in a way that promotes a culture of trust and respect.
Whether you’re a leader or team member, this session will help you align your decisions with your values and contribute to a more harmonious workplace.
