For the fall semester, the Leadership Initiative for Business Integrity at the Sam M. Walton College of Business is hosting its Let’s Talk program, which will focus on speaking up when something seems wrong. Students, faculty, staff and the public are invited to attend.
Led by Cindy Moehring, founder and executive director of the Business Integrity Leadership Initiative, the fall Let’s Talk about Speaking Up program will explore how to speak up when something seems wrong and how to create a culture that supports it . Guest speakers will provide real-life examples and lessons learned from their experiences when faced with ethical dilemmas.
The program consists of three guest speakers and a book. The book of the semester is “Giving Values Voice: How to Speak Your Mind When You Know What’s Right” by Mary Gentile, Ph.D., a leading values-driven leadership expert. Guest speakers include Gentile and whistleblowers Sherron Watkins (Enron) and Erika Cheung (Theranos).
Gentile, a renowned author and creator of the Giving Voice to Values curriculum, will be presenting live via Zoom from 6-7pm, Wednesday, September 14. The second speaker is Watkins, a leadership and ethics attorney widely known as a whistleblower in the Enron Corporation accounting irregularities. She will be presenting in person and live via Zoom from 6-7pm, Monday, October 10th. The third speaker, Cheung, is a key whistleblower in Theranos’ fake medical test scandal.
