In this week’s episode, we discuss values in the context of leadership to celebrate global ethics day, 2025. We are joined by Associate Professor Belinda Kenny, Chair Ethics Board, as well as Kelly and Trish from SPA’s National Office who regularly engage with members about ethical conduct and practice. Belinda, Kelly and Trish discuss reflective practice and the benefits to your work that come from authentically understanding yourself. We also speak about leadership skills, the targeted review of the Code of Ethics, and announce the student ethics essay competition winner for 2025.
