Where does “peace” originate? Definitions of peace include calm, harmony ,freedom from strife, and tranquility.
Peace, I believe, finds its roots in ones’ values, morals and ethics. There is no peace when all of these are not in alignment with those around us or the organization that we for which we work. I believe everybody wants peace in their lives but eludes many. It has to be a choice one consciously makes.
Yet, everyone wants peace; peace in our homes, peace at work, peace in the world, peace of mind, etc.
Why does it seem so elusive and so hard to attain. Is it a goal, an idea, or a platitude?
To be “at peace” one needs to consider among others:
1. Who you are. Why you are that and how you got there.
2. The effect you have on those around you
3. That peace begins with you and not anyone else.
4. It is based on” the what” and “the why” you believe it is important.
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of personal introspection for something that many believe is important to strive for and attain in their lives.
Just think, if businesses had more calm, harmony, tranquility and freedom from strife what a difference it would make in all our lives!
We need to be “peace” to those around us.
I wish you Peace and All Good!

Like you, business ethics and ethical leadership expert, Frank Bucaro has seen the challenges and problems of corporate leadership, particularly over the past few years in regards to poor decision-making, SEC violations, and record breaking financial settlements in a number of different industries.
With over two decades of executive training, speaking, writing and with real life experiences, his view and approach to ethics in the workplace is uniquely different. He emphasizes that ethics is a moment-to-moment choice and has little to do with position, titles, personalities or education. Ethics is everybody’s responsibility from the top down.
His goal is to help organizations to:
a. Strengthen their ethics training initiatives in order to significantly decrease the odds of an ethical/compliance violation.
b. Energize, train and motivate employees to understand the value of consistent “high road” behavior as a business advantage.
c. Support individuals and thereby the organization by contributing to its success by quality, ongoing values based leadership development.
Frank is known for his very practical, slightly irreverent, yet somewhat humorous approach to ethics and leadership development. His conversational style and real life stories connect with his audience in a personal, intense and practical level.
Companies such as Bayer Healthcare, BP, ReMax International, EnMax Energy, Danone, etc. have partnered with Frank when they want to proactively stress the message, tools, insights and practical applications that good ethics IS good for business!
