J Kevin Foster
Do you want:
• your team "to get" ethics at the personal level,
• a high-impact ethics speaker who is a catalyst for positive change,
• reduce your organization's exposure due to unethical or illegal acts,
• create an ethical culture that is good for business,
• employees to identify and report unethical/illegal acts early,
• promote employee honesty and ethics,
• a high ROI on your training budget,
• keep you and your employees out of prison, and
• be prepared for a sudden revelation of a scandal in your organization?
Then, Kevin's programs are for you.
Who knows more about the consequences of crossing the lines from ethical behavior, to unethical to criminal than someone who has been there and done that as Kevin has? It is Kevin's passion to help others recognize unethical behavior and circumstances that can lead to dangerous choices.
Even the allegation, much less the truth, of unethical or criminal behavior may result in millions of dollars in legal fees, lost public confidence in the business and, potentially, criminal liability. Yet, ethics are an enigma to most people. Individuals tend to ignore what they do not understand or issues which are overwhelming; ethics are no exception. Kevin uses his E.T.H.I.C.S. tools to provide ethics awareness and training so that your team will be prepared to identify the personal characteristics and circumstances leading to unethical behavior. Kevin's ethics presentation can be tailored to the client's needs in either a keynote address, break out or seminar.
Kevin has been featured in two articles on ethics, governance, and compliance in Financier Worldwide Magazine, an international publication covering corporate finance and board-level issues. He is a former financial executive with FDIC-Division of Liquidation, Standard Chartered Bank, and Dr Pepper Co., a 30-year veteran in real estate, and a former CPA with Peat, Marwick & Mitchell (now KPMG)
