Welcome to The Ethics Movement, special podcast series highlighting Converge21 The Workshop Edition. This podcast series will feature some of the speakers at the event.

In this podcast, I visit with Julia Arbery, a partner at StoneTurn who will help the discussion on the Workshop, Demystifying Data & Analytics: Leverage What you Have for Effective Risk Management. You have collected this data from my program, now what? The panel will use sample data sets to outline a foundation for data driven risk management. Join us for a dynamic Workshop.
As April is Earth Month, GWIC thought it would be a great time to talk to one of the people who works in E&C and also to protect our natural resources and environment. Michelle Beistle is the as Chief Ethics, Compliance & Privacy Officer at The Nature Conservancy, and started there in April 2019.
Michelle was one of GWIC’s first guests, where she spoke about her path and how she got into compliance through her privacy work. Her former role was as Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer – Privacy & Ethics at Unisys.
Michelle talks about the similarities and the differences that she has encountered moving into a non-profit, as well as her excitement about working in a mission-driven organization. She also talks about how COVID and the social justice movement have impacted TNC, and how they speak out on behalf of other social causes.
TNC also had a change in leadership, so she discusses that change, and how to navigate that as an E&C professional. And, as it is Earth Month, Lisa took advantage of her knowledge to get some information on events and Michelle’s most practical tip on how you can impact the environment every day.

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into a different area; their joint love of history. Matt is reading Nuclear Folly, a new chronicle of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Ukrainian history professor Serhii Plokhy. We use this as a starting point to explore how both the Soviets and Americans used different types of internal debate and information to eventually steer clear of nuclear war. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What was the Soviet model for information gathering, analysis and debate, both before and during the Missile Crisis?
- How was the American model of Ex-Comm so different?
- How do these models inform a speak up culture?
- How and more importantly why are leadership, corporate culture, speaking up, ethical values all connected.?
- What does this mean for compliance officers?
