"Clients and key stakeholders of Business and Employment were pleased and humbled to hear Simon's story of courage and determination as a special breakfast event in March. Simon has a powerful and engaging presentation that leaves all in the audience challenged by his tremendous courage and focus amid plenty of reasons to turn a blind eye and just get on with it. Simon learnt the hard way but has since developed eight key themes for any modern workplace which are described in his Ethical Strength program."

"Australian Story tonight provides a unique insight into the increasingly frightening world of Melbourne's gangland killings and rampant police corruption. Simon Illingworth has spent years working with police internal affairs in Victoria, rooting out crooked officers. He's been commended for his work and been responsible for bringing successful prosecutions against corrupt officers. But Illingworth says he's been bashed, isolated and threatened - not by crooks but by other policemen. At the end of his tether, he's now risking all to tell his inside story".

Why Challenge Professional & Corporate Culture?
"You will be inspired as Illingworth recounts his fight against Police corruption. Unlike most, he stuck at it despite death threats, intimidation by underworld criminals and a serious assault. It makes you stop to realise that everyone has a responsibility to stand up for what is right and to challenge our present culture - no matter what you do. This is an incredible true story of personal courage that literally changed his life forever."
Craig Bingham, Chief Executive Officer Portfolio Partners Ltd...

A quote from a man who has been through the hard times...
"Those of us fortunate to know of Simon Illingworth realise that this brave man certainly has a story to tell. Many of us have been touched by the Australian Story program earlier this year. If you haven't seen it - get a copy. Meeting him in person and working with him as he goes on his Ethical Challenges journey is being one of the proudest periods of my life. If you get a chance to meet him, take it. He is someone Australia should be proud to boast about, as one of our own, both locally and internationally."

"Simon is more than a story and a hero. He has found something that can help us all in both our workplace and family life. 'The Runaway Bus' ethical leadership model is a message and a solution for those of us; our families, friends or colleagues who are faced by Ethical Challenges."

Now, more than ever, people drift into thinking that profit is more important than integrity. When some in the corporate sector do things that are illegal or unethical the waves are felt throughout the company, the corporate world and the community.

Illingworth shares his unique experiences, whilst he educates in ethical decision making ... and offers a fresh outlook on the future.

The Ethical Leadership Program is always tailored to your particular circumstances, within one of these major streams:

• Corporate Ethical Leadership Program
• Sporting Club Ethical Leadership Program
• Law Enforcement Anti-Corruption Ethical Leadership Program

"Simon's story reinforced my own personal beliefs that there is no place in life for unethical behaviour. I found it very helpful to listen to a person who has faced a high-profile ethical dilemma, and who has dealt with it in a courageous way."
