Workshop The recent, well-publicized scandals in corporate America have brought the issues of corporate responsibility and ethical leadership to the forefront, where they belong. But, what does it all mean for the independent consultant who has an "inside track" on the company to which he or she consults? How do we know if there is an ethical issue that needs to be addressed and, if so, how best to do it? Where can we get the help and advice we need to do our jobs most effectively? For this workshop, we’ve brought together a distinguished panel of experts in the area of corporate ethics:
Through presentations and small-group exercises, our panel will address these and other issues that are so critical in today’s business environment for corporate leaders, and those advising them. In addition, the workshop will feature an interactive panel discussion with our audience, moderated by Harvy Simkovits, CMC. An important and timely workshop for both consultants and their clients!
Lee recently appeared on CNN International to discuss reaction to the recent business ethics scandals in the U.S. She is a lawyer and a former teacher of gifted children.
Phil currently teaches "Leadership for Technical Professionals" at Brandeis University's Masters in Software Engineering Program and is a speech consultant to the MBA students at Babson College. He is also on the Executive Board of the MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge.

His client include Aetna, CIGNA, Olin Corporation, the State of Connecticut, TIAA-CREF, and many others. He has also lectured and conducted workshops for universities and professional organizations throughout the United States and in Europe. Dinner
Program People want more out of work than just a paycheck. As reported in Business Week in November of 1999, 78% of Americans expressed a need for spiritual growth in their lives. Today the number is even higher – and it extends into both the personal and professional aspect of people’s lives. As a result, today’s corporate leaders must know how to manage the paradoxes of opposites:
The insights and methodology presented in Richard Whiteley’s latest book, The Corporate Shaman help leaders and the people who work for them access a more complete, objective view of the impact of mergers and acquisitions, downsizings, unanticipated crises and personnel changes on themselves and their workforce. Corporate shamans focus on the human element, the living, breathing heart of a company. They help companies recognize and heal the spiritual malaise that can cause reduced productivity, high turnover and debilitating tension in the workplace. They help to create the sense of personal meaning and commitment many people seek in the workplace today. The objectives of this session are to:
Richard’s first book, The Customer Driven Company was named one of the top four business books by FORTUNE magazine and one of the top ten books of the decade by Human Resource Executive Magazine. Customer Centered Growth, his second book and a Business Week bestseller was named one of the top five books by Selling Magazine. A third book, Love The Work You’re With: Find the Job You Always Wanted Without Leaving the One you Have, was also a best-seller and his most recent work, a business fable entitled The Corporate Shaman was published by Harper Collins in March of 2002. Because of his "hands on" experience and his work with 300 organizations and 300,000 executives in 26 countries over the past thirty years, Richard’s presentations, like his books, are known for their practicality and usefulness. Past clients include: American Express, GE, Motorola, Marriott, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Merrill Lynch and 3M. In addition to his writing and speaking, Richard has a small healing practice in Boston where he utilizes the methods handed down by shamans over many millennia. After receiving a BA from Wesleyan University, Richard spent three years in the United States Navy, after which he received his MBA from Harvard. 2:30-3:00
