Speaker: Kevin Hansen, Ph.D., J.D., LL.M., FACHCA
Ethics has been described as the study of morality, and requires the pursuit of objective reasons for the moral standards we use to guide behavior and decisions. While moral standards are not always clear, a better understanding of ethics allows individuals to resolve murky situations when two “good” choices are in conflict. In this session, participants will learn about the five main ethical theories for decision-making, as well as ethical principles to keep in mind while making decisions. The session will also cover relevant ethical standards from professional codes of ethics.

Speaker: Annie Meehan, Author/Certified Life Coach, AM Speaking
Our words, actions and personal stories are powerful and impactful. Life will reflect back to us what we create. Is your powerful, impactful life one of intention or one of default? Annie teaches about being purpose-driven, intentional and adaptable to change with an easy 6-point acronym IMPACT (Intentional living, Make it happen, Purpose, Adaptability, Commitment, Tools).
