A Note from Josh

I've facilitated and led ethics classes, trainings, and programs for nearly 20 years, both in the U.S. and around the world.

I strive to make the subject of ethics engaging and fun, raising awareness around ethical blindspots and teaching about behavioral science that impacts our everyday lives. The literature is clear and my work has confirmed: taking ethics seriously improves employee performance, inspires more engaged creativity, and helps organizations deliver better results for their stakeholders. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help your organization flourish.
