Speaking

 

The Cheating Culture has been the subject of a charged national conversation since its publication. Callahan has been featured on numerous television and radio programs, and reviews and feature stories about the book have appeared in over 100 newspapers and magazines. In his speaking appearances around the country, Callahan engages audiences in this important conversation. An inspiring, passionate speaker, he challenges listeners to ask themselves hard moral questions and offers solutions to the growing pressure to succeed at any cost. 

 

Educators at all levels have found Callahan’s presentations to be a powerful catalyst for discussion among students and faculty about growing academic dishonesty.

 

Business leaders say that Callahan’s analysis adds a “big picture” dimension to the discussion of ethics and regulatory compliance in industry.

 

Professional groups have benefited from Callahan’s keen insights about how members deal with the new pressures to cut corners and the challenges of self-regulation.

 

Public policy and faith organizations connect with Callahan's analysis of the crisis of values in American society and the underlying inequities that help to fuel this crisis.
