While dwarfs, pirates, and mice are all commonplace at Disney World, for an hour in November a cowboy will be the focal point of central Florida. Participants at the Orlando conference in November are going to be captivated by the same powerful and patriotic presentation entitled "Cowboy Ethics - Getting America Back on Track" that attendees enjoyed in July in Las Vegas.
A successful Wall Street businessman and author, Mr. James Owen has championed the foundation and growth of the Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership. Mr. Owen built the Center on simple principles which were once the way of life for the American cowboy; the same principals which ideally would still be woven into the fabric of American business and industry. Mr. Owen's stimulating presentation will leave conference participants speechless and remind of the obligation to perform their job duties with integrity and ethical vigilance.
The principals are:
- Live each day with courage
- Take pride in your work
- Always finish what you start
- Do what has to be done
- Be tough, but fair
- When you make a promise, keep it
- Ride for the brand
- Talk less and say more
- Remember that some things are not for sale
- Know where to draw the line
Mr. Owen incorporates inspirational and patriotic music into a dynamic multimedia presentation filled with breathtaking photography. Whether a Controller, CFO, or accountant all participants will be entertained, inspired, and humbled by the powerful message.
The website for the Center is www.cowboyethics.organd gives a sneak-peak as to what to expect from the program. Much more than a refresher course in ethics, Cowboy Ethics promises to be one of the most memorable sessions at the 2009 AICPA Controllers Conferences.
