About This Course
How To Be Successful And Stay Out Of Prison (The “How To” Course On Making Ethical Choices)
Achieve success through an ethical pathway
A lot of “good” people find themselves getting fired, or even arrested, and have to ask, “How did I end up here?”
You likely didn’t wake up today and make a conscious decision to NOT steal a car or rob a bank. However, you have already made thousands of choices, and those choices have an impact on your life and the lives of others. This course shows you how to recognize and apply the important traits of being trustworthy, reliable, and honest in your professional and personal life.
Within the next five years, you could remain stagnant, become independently wealthy, or end up in prison. What determines your future has everything to do with the choices you make today. Understanding ethics can do more than help you decipher what is right or wrong. If you understand and apply the laws of ethics, you will consciously make decisions that will inevitably lead to your success.
Topics covered include:
Making better decisions
Recognizing the difference between taking advantage of an opportunity, and making unethical rationalizations
Avoiding the “slippery slope” that starts innocently, but can ruin you and your reputation
Recognizing your motivations and the connection between need, opportunity, and rationalization

I found this course very interesting, and Chuck's stories, especially his own, compelling. It's not the boring ethics class I've taken past years for my landscape architecture license requirement. Having my own business in sustainable LA/ecology for the past 32 years, the small section about cheating the company wasn't applicable. I'd just be cheating myself.
The course helps me better understand people; our process of making good choices. Also - and I like visuals - the 3 legged stool creating a strong foundation for unethical choices.
His outlook on real success in life I find true, in part. In my work and personal interests, I think success is not only the impact you have on other PEOPLE's lives, but also on other species and the planet. Thank you.
