Bruce Weinstein

Keynote Speaker: Professional Ethicist Known as "The Ethics Guy;" BusinessWeek.com Columnist & Huffington Post Contributor

Bruce Weinstein Biography

Known as “The Ethics Guy,” Bruce Weinstein, PhD, has a simple purpose in life: to show you that living ethically is the right thing to do and that you will be better off — professionally and personally — if you make ethics the foundation of every decision. Enlightening, inspiring and entertaining, Weinstein shows leaders in business, health care, law, accounting and education why character is the missing link to excellence and how to hire and promote people of high character.

The writer of the column “Ask the Ethics Guy” for BusinessWeek.com, Dr. Weinstein has also contributed to Newsweek.com, CNN.com, FoxNews.com and Huffington Post Business. He is the author of the books "Ethical Intelligence" and "Is It Still Cheating If I Don’t Get Caught?," a book which guides teens through making the right decisions.

His next book, "The Good Ones: Ten Crucial Qualities of High-Character Employees," was published in April 2015 and features stories from the editor of Fortune magazine, a two-star general in the U.S. Air Force, Martin Scorsese’s producer and other fascinating people who talk about how high-character employees have helped them succeed — and how you can find such people for your organization.

An in-demand speaker and sought-after consultant on the topic of ethics, Dr. Weinstein’s clients include: National Football League, National Guard, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, Society for Government Meeting Planners, the colleges of business of Eastern Michigan University and the University of North Dakota, Help Desk International, Johnson & Johnson, Pri-Med Continuing Medical Education, state chapters of the National Guard, Turnaround Management Association, National Association of Corporate Directors and over 300 other leading groups. He has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, Investor's Business Daily, The New York Observer, Family Circle, Men's Fitness, Real Simple, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and the in-flight magazines of American Airlines, Delta Airlines, US Airways, United Airlines, and America West.

Dr. Weinstein received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Swarthmore College, a doctorate in philosophy and bioethics from Georgetown University and a certificate in film production from NYU. A high-energy speaker, Weinstein has the ability to keep audiences engaged by teaching them about "ethical intelligence" through fascinating, real-world examples.

Based on current research, this fun, interactive presentation ends with Dr. Weinstein’s Smartphone Pledge that you’re invited to take back to your organization.

  • I enjoyed the presentation so much, I purchased a book during the book signing event. Weinstein is a dynamic presenter. Using pics while engaging the audience was a home run! I plan to use this technique in future safety presentations in hope of similar results.

  • Bruce Weinstein accomplished what was no small feat... As the last speaker of the day, he was able to bring the energy back to the room of 500 to 700. People were laughing, participating and I really think they will take these lessons far beyond their career. Kudos to "The Ethics Guy" for having something real and powerful to say and for delivering it in such an engaging manner.
    Results First International - Mar 21 2011
