Connecting With Respect

Is your organization dealing with or trying to prevent rude, disrespectful behaviors?

The Connecting With Respect program has been used by leaders and HR professionals in the world’s most recognized organizations to help create enduring cultures of respect and civility. Sometimes called Sensitivity Training 2.0, our science-based curriculum provides your people with both the “why” and the “how” for co-creating a work environment that everyone is proud to be a part of.

What is Connecting With Respect?

Imagine an educational curriculum for increasing respect in the workplace and changing organizational culture so unique and thoughtfully designed that it appeals to everyone.

Imagine an educational process so impactful that participants immediately develop the awareness and tools necessary to engage their peers in healthier, more respectful relationships.

Imagine a workplace culture where leaders, managers and individual contributors consistently engage each other as unique individuals, each with the capacity to make a difference.

Based on the most recent neuroscience research, this workshop takes a scientific approach on why we should treat others with respect.

  • 48% intentionally decreased their work effort
