Course description
The Foundation Module is the basis upon which all modules are constructed. Ethics is
both a method and a mindset that sustains commitment and ownership for strategies leading to a sustainable future. We are living in times of dramatic change, a pandemic, financial instability, fake news, climate change, and dynamic political shifts. Many people are struggling and experiencing unmanageable levels of stress. Particularly in these times, society needs ethically strong people; those who dare to stand in the arena and fight for change anchored in ethical and sustainable ways of living – this is what
True Storytelling® is all about. The methods and tools learned can be applied in both your professional and personal development in planning, facilitating, and evaluating positive change. From the beginning of your journey and throughout the four modules, you will become aware of your current situation and the challenges and how living a more ethical life, where you care for yourself, nature, and your community, is more sustainable through the foundation of a solidly grounded ethical compass.
