This session will expand your awareness, develop your emotional intelligence, offer critical insights on human behavior norms, and help you develop an easy-to-apply set of tools proven to increase your capacity for more respectful behaviors. As a result of attending, you will be able to recognize what respect looks and feels like in the workplace, identify how the brain reacts to disrespectful behaviors and how they damage morale and productivity, and enhance your understanding of how stereotypes and bias can negatively affect our actions and decisions. You’ll also be able to augment your leadership skills with an understanding of the role that attitudes play in promoting respect at work, demonstrate behaviors that support personal and organizational values, and implement tools to build and sustain a framework of respect in your workplace

Application on the Job:

  • Learn the differences between respect and tolerance and how these differences can inform our pursuit of more authentically respectful and inclusive workplaces.
  • Explore how stereotypes, bias, and prejudgments can unintentionally lead to behaviors that are perceived as disrespectful by others.
  • Learn how behaviors that are perceived as either respectful or disrespectful affect the brain differently and directly affect creativity, collaboration, physical health, and productivity.
  • Learn a technique for quickly establishing a relationship based upon shared experiences and respect with almost anyone.
