The Good Life: A Practical Guide to Happiness and Well-being

Building an Ethical Culture in Your Organization
Organizations and professional associations put a great deal of stress on individual ethics, but we know that the chief influence on people's behavior is the people around them. This presentation looks at effective and proven methods of creating an ethical culture, so that employees can bring their best selves to work, feel more engaged, more creative, and more likely to do the right thing when a crisis arises.
Citizenship, Service, and Social Capital: Keys to a Healthy Society
Over the past 30 years, American society has seen a steady decline in civic engagement—voter participation, membership in churches and service organizations, and volunteering. This decline is especially evident in the erosion of “middle institutions”—those places between home and work, where friends, neighbors, and strangers come together in conversation and in service, and which are necessary to sustain a healthy democracy. This presentation will look at the symptoms and causes of this decline in civic engagement and then propose ways to reverse that decline and restore health to American communities.
