“Just Say NO – Loudly & Clearly – To Unethical Clients! Advice From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
Have you ever been asked to do something unethical by one of your prospects or clients? Have you ever been pressured by a supervisor, manager or owner at your business to do something unethical?

Business Ethics Guidelines: An Ethical Action Test From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own actions. Although in today’s business world, I imagine many skeptics would take exception to that statement because there is evidence that people are not held accountable for their actions, even when they are unethical. And even more disturbing, some are even rewarded for unethical actions. Each of us makes a choice to act ethically or to act unethically. It is essential that we know what is ethical and what is unethical. But, more challenging and difficult than knowing what is ethical, is knowing what is right and then doing what is right. So what advice & guidance are available to check if the action is right before implementing a decision to act? Your strategic thinking business coach has a set of questions to provide guidance for ethical decisions & actions.
