No Comments on Susan Liautaud: Making Good Choices in a Complicated World

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In this episode, Lisa speaks with Dr. Susan Liautaud who is the author of ” The Power of Ethics: How to Make Good Choices in a Complicated World.” She teaches ethics at Stanford University, is the founder of The Ethics Incubator, which is a non-profit, non-profit, independent, cross-sector laboratory and collaborative platform for innovative ethics in our changing world, from AI to our daily lives.
One of the things that make her approach so unique is the manner in which she makes thinking about ethics and decisions approachable and practical. She has outlined 6 forces driving ethics, and Lisa and Susan talk about two in detail, as well as some practical tips for practitioners.
For those of you who listen regularly, you know Lisa is a big fan of Dax Shephard’s Armchair Expert podcast, and was so excited to hear an episode with a leader in ethics. Lisa took the advice that she and Mary give to many and reached out to Susan through email and LinkedIn and Susan graciously took the time to participate in GWIC and give us her perspective.
