KEYNOTE SPEAKER - Patrick Kuhse, Internationally Recognized Business Ethics Authority. Kuhse became an ethics expert the hard way – by taking part in his own criminal acts and suffering the consequences. As a self-admitted greedy stock broker (“the Jerry Maguire of financial planning”) on Wall Street in the 1980’s, Kuhse’s value system changed, and he became more interested in making money and being successful than in ethical behavior. He rationalized withholding information from clients by believing that he knew more than they did and that they would never know about his indiscretions. |
