1 CPE Whether we recognize it or not, we are confronted with ethical situations everyday. Ethics dictate how we act, how we behave, and guides the decisions we make. How do we avoid regretting our actions later on in life? Regret can sometimes sink in almost immediately, but it can also take years to surface.
In this course, you learn two approaches to dealing with ethical situations and preventing regret. Using a principles-based approach, you learn to take actions and make decisions keeping in mind five simple to remember (but harder to live by) principles. A prescriptive approach will help you embed ethics into your decision-making process. Both approaches are demonstrated through an integrated video case.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize how to apply ethical principles in everyday situations and avoid regret.
- Discover how to apply an ethical decision-making framework to ethical situations to reach optimal solutions.

This course provided a good overview of evaluating ethical dilemmas as well as many effective considerations to employ when dealing with how to approach/respond to ethical situations in the workplace. A great refresher for anyone in the workplace to keep ethical thinking top of mind in our day-to-day interactions. The instructors presented content in an informative and highly-engaging way, including supporting materials to reiterate key concepts taught throughout the course.

I really liked the two approaches to ethical decision making laid out in this course. The first is so common sense, I wish someone had laid this out in a course years ago! It just makes sense. The second also has merits in certain business situations as well. Thanks for tools!

Review/Exam questions are worded in a way that makes it difficult to answer based on the way the material was presented. In other words not clear what the correct answers should be based on what I "heard". I probably will not take any more classes with these instructors as such.

Nice continuation from the first course, Ethical Intelligence, in which the speakers build upon the original content. The materials were helpful and relevant. The case study at the end of the course was a great way to tie it all together.

It was interesting to not only learn about the five principles of Ethical Intelligence - Principles Approach; but also the Prescriptive Approach which has eight steps.

I like the approach used: discuss the background ideas and present the principles and then use an interesting case to show how the principles are applied.

I found the wording of the exam questions to be confusing, not strictly based on the language in the lesson. But I did like the scenarios.

The principles could have been presented in a better way, but over-all it's a very good discussion which complements the other lectures

Interesting! I've always done a few of these, but the addition of (or identification of) the others will lead to better decisions.

It was ok. I didn't agree with some of the principles in a work environment but they might work better in a personal environment.

good course, a bit tricky because personal instincts tend to take over in many situations. This is a good guide for the future.
