Dallin Cooper has owned and operated businesses of all sizes for nearly a decade. Teaching the same principles of ethical leadership that led to the success of his own businesses, Dallin is the speaker for any business group, association or organization looking to develop a culture of trust. Ethics generally gets a reputation of being a boring and stuffy topic. Dallin strives to subvert that reputation by crafting speeches and trainings that don’t feel like “ethics training.” Instead, audiences will learn about how their actions impact their relationships with others as well as themselves in such a way that they yearn to behave more ethically not because of compliance, but because of the benefit that behavior brings to their lives.

Ethics For Humans: Respect, Trust, Freedom, Peace
Ethics and compliance have a major branding issue. If you have to preface your trainings with the word “mandatory”, you aren’t in a great spot. But that’s exactly how most ethics trainings are introduced. They use fear (you’ll get fined!) or guilt (it’s what a good person should do), in an attempt to change behavior. Those tactics create a sense of obligation, but without any motivation. Ethics For Humans moves the conversation away from lists of unacceptable behavior and cautionary tales about lawsuits. Instead, it’s focused on the benefits of ethics: respect, trust, freedom, and peace. This motivates participants to change behavior not because they’re supposed to, but because they truly want to. It creates a lasting change and ignites a passionate advocacy for ethics in participants that continues long after the presentation ends. And when every employee is an advocate for ethics, compliance practically takes care of itself.

- Using ethics to increase sales, productivity, employee retention and more!
- The transformational power of moral development in our personal and professional lives

Bull riders are masters of moments. Hundreds of hours in training, both physical and mental, go into making sure that they can instinctively make the right decisions in those split-second moments on the bull – years of work and effort defined by eight seconds.
Leadership is defined by moments. It isn’t a title or position. Leadership is a lifestyle. Not everyone is a natural-born leader, but everyone can learn to lead. Get on the Bull illustrates a pathway to successful leadership with applicable stories from the exciting world of Bull Riding and simple suggestions of ways to develop those attitudes and behaviors.
