Ethics in the Financial Sector: At Home and Abroad

Jim McArdle, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Secretariat and Legal Services, Export Development Canada

  • Luncheon
  • Tuesday, September 28, 2010
  • 12 noon until 2pm
  • The Albany Club, 91 King Street East, Toronto

With the recent economic crisis, the ethics of the financial sector have been called into question. In Canada, this has an additional layer of complexity when we examine how the financial sector supports Canadian companies operating abroad and how those companies conduct themselves. At present, there is a generalized call for a higher ethical standard of conduct in business. But what does that look like at home, abroad and for the financial sector?

Workaholism and the Loss of Integrity

Dr. Barbara Killinger, Clinical Psychologist and Author

  • Luncheon
  • Thursday, November 4, 2010
  • 12 noon until 2pm
  • The Albany Club, 91 King Street East, Toronto

In today's world of anxious uncertainty, personal and professional integrity are being challenged as ambitious people seek to gain a competitive advantage through dubious dealings that by-pass the regulatory standards, rules, and ethics that keep society as a whole safe.

Dr. Killinger's psychological approach is essential in understanding this alarming trend because integrity is an internal state of being, in contrast to the externally-imposed values of morality and ethics. Discover why and how the inner dynamics of workaholism, and the predictable breakdown syndrome that this addiction to power and control typically follows, lead to the profound personality and character changes that encourage the tragic loss of this most precious attribute.

Dr. Killinger is a pioneer in the field of workaholism. Her best selling book Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts has been published in nineteen countries, in nine languages. To view other publications by Dr. Killinger, visit www.drbarbarakillinger.com
