Unlock your full potential in "The Character Connection: Discipline, Integrity & Growth." This course delves into the profound impact of character on both personal and professional success, addressing critical questions about ethical choices, their significance beyond job performance, and the blurred lines between personal and work values.
You'll explore how daily thoughts, words, actions, and habits forge your character and ultimately shape your destiny.

The course further examines the crucial role of intrinsic honesty, distinguishing between externally imposed rules and deeply held principles. You'll learn to cultivate self-discipline through obedience, order, and self-control, and tackle tips for building self-discipline in the workplace, from eliminating harmful habits to ignoring peer pressure. We also empower leaders and managers with strategies to foster ethical environments, clarify expectations, and uphold fair processes.
Finally, we confront the often-avoided topic of moral absolutes versus ethical relativism, equipping you to build a robust moral compass that steers you away from confusion and toward universal truths. By understanding and embracing these core tenets, you'll develop the courage to stand up for what's right, even when it's difficult, and learn to keep ego in check to maintain ethical integrity. This course isn't just about what you do, but about developing the inner strength and clarity to become the best version of yourself, ensuring that your character remains a steadfast anchor in all aspects of your life.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
