Integrity

Let's explore the topic of Integrity together.

Here are a few prompts to get started with the conversation:

• What does integrity mean to you personally?
• Is integrity an absolute value, or does it vary depending on circumstances? Are there situations where it's acceptable to compromise on one's integrity?
• Is there a relationship between integrity and trust? How does integrity influence the trustworthiness of individuals, organizations, and societies?
• How does integrity relate to authenticity and sincerity? Can someone be considered to have integrity if their actions don't align with their beliefs or values?
• Can integrity evolve or change over time? How do life experiences, personal growth, and cultural influences shape our understanding and practice of integrity?

Read up on Integrity in the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy.

1. "Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching." - C.S. Lewis
2. "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them" – Brené Brown
3. “Integrity has no need of rules" - Albert Camus
4. "The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office." - Eisenhower

🚫 No-show policy
As the group size is small, no-shows have a strong negative impact on the group. As such, the policy is that as a general rule, no-shows and same-day cancellations will not be able to sign up for future events. To avoid this:

• Only reserve a spot if you really intend to come.
• If your plans have changed, cancel at least 24 hours before the event, to give people on the waiting list a chance to change their own plans and make it to the event.
• If you have a real last-minute emergency and need to cancel in the last 24 hours, please contact me directly to avoid "no-show" status.
