The slides from the talk are now available. Ethical Business Surya Advisory Presentation.
Surya Advisory takes inspiration from Margaret Heffernan’s famous TED Talk on why we should all ‘Dare to Disagree’. This is especially the case for lawyers. We need to think boldly, solve problems creatively and not be afraid to do the right thing.
