The Ethical World of the Life & Health Insurance Agent

Most people cast unethical people as “all bad” and ethical people as “all good”. But as with anything in life, the shades of grey between black and white are infinite. Where is the ethical line between right and wrong? What do you do when you find yourself rationalizing an action due to deadlines, difficult situations, or other stressors? It is at those times that a “good” person can make a bad choice. Training in ethics can help you recognize these situations. As with any muscle, your gut (or ethics radar) needs a workout every now and again to stay sharp.

Our speaker will review the difference between the concepts of “legal” and “ethical” circumstances, providing context and examples of both. Unlike laws, ethics is more nuanced, with shades of grey colored by our own values, beliefs, experiences and philosophical views. This program will focus heavily on ethical dilemmas that Life and Health insurance agents can be confronted with, including real-world examples.
