A motivational Talk......?

I have noted with concern that matters relating to morals and ethics are rarely discussed in the open. This issue is treated like a very personal matter. Indeed it is a matter of personal choice to be ethical or not to be. That could be the reason it is not easy to teach ethics in the traditional classroom setting.Ethics and integrity is all about our actions and our thoughts when no one is looking. It is against this background that i feel convicted to organise a motivational talk instead of a forum.The talk aims at demonstrating that there are some leaders who have made a difference in the society by their choice to uphold moral and ethical convictions. I have in mind a speaker who is an extremely experienced person in the issue of corruption especially corruption in governance. He has advised the United Nation on corruption related matters for many years.I can not give out his name at this stage because i need to talk to him first. Do you have suggestions of your own? I have never organised a motivational talk before , so please feel free to share some tips that will make this event a success here at UQ. I think it is better we have the event in middle of June. What do you guys think? looking forward to hear from you.....
