Do you think your ethics are shown in your business?

This First Tuesday meeting will be a time for us to listen to a short clip from a TED talk on why ethics matter.

We will listen to a clip from Shefali Roy's 2019 TED talk, where she talks about why ethics matter, cause, effect & repercussions. She says our ethics are not taught in our studies & so we have to figure out what matters to us. We will then think on this & how we might bring our ethics into our work as freelancers or business owners.

What do we want as our own ethical standards. What do we want to be & be seen as?

You're invited you to join me, and like-minded others to do some thinking, exploring, & talking about issues that matter to us in our work.

Emma Torrance, owner of THiNK will be hosting tonight’s network. She has a SFEDI practitioners qualification in advising businesses & specialised in Social Enterprise, and has worked with many freelancers, private businesses and social enterprises. Emma works with people providing mentoring, business advice and workshops.

Who should come?

It is for those wanting to think about their ethics and how these can be incorporated into our work into our work as freelancers or businesses.

Our event will be held online via zoom.

This network is about providing a supportive space for helping socially-minded people to share ideas and develop as sole traders or businesses. It is for those wanting to think about some ethical and value based business issues and for those that want to incorporate their values in their business or do good in their business.

We are likely to be a small group as we stopped running this network for much of the lockdown, smaller numbers normally means we get to have a really good conversation.

The First Tuesday network is run by THiNK, and runs on the First Tuesday of the month and we collect £5.50 towards costs.
