What do you get when you blend together the experiences of a hitchhiker, world traveler, high school teacher, newspaper columnist, and rabbinic scholar … then apply the wisdom of the ancients to the modern world …

Now you’re ready to discover how a deeper appreciation for ethical principles and clear communication leads to success and happiness in our personal and professional lives.

Yonason Goldson

has circumnavigated the globe, seen the Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Giza, and the tea plantations of Sri Lanka. He’s hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and to the tops of the Sierra Nevada.  He’s jumped out of an airplane and undergone open-heart surgery (but not at the same time).

He’s studied at the University of Edinburgh, taught school in Budapest, Hungary, and seen Richard III performed in Ashland, Oregon, and Stratford-on-Avon.  He’s been a professional speaker and teacher for over three decades, published seven books, raised four children, and been married to the love of his life for over 35 years.

But none of that is what corporations, associations, or educational institutions want to hear…

What do corporations, associations, and educational institutions want to hear?

They want to hear what he’s learned and what he has to teach — namely, the accumulated wisdom of over 3000 years translated into the language of our times. Whatever the audience, he can make them laugh, make them cry, make them think and make them wonder.​

Above all, he will inspire and motivate them, leaving them with a sense of their own untapped potential and a road map to guide them forward along the pathways to success and happiness.

Ethics Ninja

THE ETHICS NINJA

The ninja were covert agents in feudal Japan who practiced espionage, deception, and surprise attacks. Does that make Ethics Ninja a contradiction in terms? 

Not at all. Just as the master of martial arts turns opponents' strengths against themselves, the Ethics Ninja turns attacks against moral values back against the adversaries of ethics, exposing groupthink and double standards through rational argument in an asymmetrical battle to vanquish the enemies of moral clarity.
