March 30th – 31st , 2017 | Golden Nugget, Atlantic City

Paul Meshanko will be presenting The Respect Effect presentation at the 49th Annual New Jersey Pupil Transportation Conference and Equipment Show Sponsored by School Transportation Supervisors of New Jersey, Inc.

About the Respect Effect presentation:

Respect. It’s a simple concept, a universally powerful motivator, and a core value for many global organizations. Why, then, is it so elusive in the modern workplace? With today’s increasingly diverse workforces, organizational culture has never been more important and a foundation of Respect is the bedrock. It sets the stage for engagement, promotes collaboration and inclusion, and unleashes extraordinary creativity and resilience.

Based on his highly acclaimed new book, The Respect Effect: Using the Science of Neuroleadership to Inspire a More Loyal and Productive Workplace, author and speaker Paul Meshanko goes beyond the typical “feel good” themes of organizational culture and digs deeply into the topics of evolution, psychology and neuroscience to show how powerful of a catalyst Respect can be. More importantly, he shares practical, easy-to-implement strategies for helping to promote respectful work cultures and offers case study details on how best-in-class global employers are already using respect to make a difference with both their cultures and bottom lines.

With his interactive, often humorous style, Paul also helps participants better understand the emotional experience of respect, what it looks and feels like, and how it radically differs from tolerance. He links respect of others to respect of self, discusses how disrespectful behaviors can trigger immediate and lasting damage to our human capital and, most importantly, creates a compelling and articulate call for action.

Key themes:

  • Tolerance is no longer enough
  • The cost of disrespectful behaviors
  • Respect…the new end-game
  • Respect is about me, not “them”
  • Stereotypes, myths and prejudgments
  • Knowledge vs. beliefs
  • Challenging the need to be “right”
  • Healthy self-esteem: The key to respect for others
  • The 12 Rules of Respect
