The Power of Dignity and Respect

The Power of Dignity and Respect

  Diversity training is well intentioned but approaches the need from the back door. The catchall phrase is to celebrate our differences.  When we normally get together with a group of people to celebrate something does it ever have anything to do with differences? No!

  Diversity training is well intentioned but approaches the need from the back door. The catchall phrase is to celebrate our differences.  When we normally get together with a group of people to celebrate something does it ever have anything to do with differences? No! There is a similarity or point of commonality that brings people together and makes a connection though they may be a very diverse group. At that point there is the basis for communication and interest in differences is a natural outcropping of that.

INSIGHT, AWARENESS, AND PERSONAL POWER

 “Dignity and Respect has to do with what you are ready, willing, and able to accept within yourself and in accepting to be able to give others. It is your personal power to make a difference by being true to the best within you and letting that truth shine through your words and actions." Gail Pursell Elliott”

Personal Heroes

Eye of the Hurricane: The Dignity and Respect Approach to Stress

Eye of the Hurricane: The Dignity and Respect Approach to Stress

Did you know that you are a hero? We can gain insight into ourselves when we determine who our personal heroes are. There is a standard definition to the word hero. But our personal definitions are more important. We determine who makes the cut, who qualifies to be a hero in our own lives. When we name our heroes we become more aware of what we value most.

 “Pressure. It changes everything. Some folks, you squeeze them, they focus – others fold." - The Devil’s Advocate


What causes us stress? We could make a laundry list of all the external factors. Too many responsibilities. Too many people depending on us. Deadlines. Delays. Sometimes we can feel as if we’re caught in a hurricane. But at the center of every hurricane there is something called the eye. In the eye, all is peaceful and calm. The sun is shining. We can see clearly. The purpose of this session is to help you find that calm center within you.

Civility and Ethics

Civility and Ethics

  Civility is often coupled in the same phrase as ethical expectations within an organization as they often are closely related as indicators of one another. Not addressing incivility and disrespectful behavior in the workplace especially in times such as these is risky business. Creating a safe environment in this area can be challenging

  Civility is often coupled in the same phrase as ethical expectations within an organization as they often are closely related as indicators of one another. Not addressing incivility and disrespectful behavior in the workplace especially in times such as these is risky business. Creating a safe environment in this area can be challenging and like every other safety issue, requires an organizational commitment, structural and procedural assessments,  and implementation of safeguards such as communication education, monitoring and intervention.

Mastering Change

Respectful Work Environment -Establishing Trust

Surface and Substance in Times of Change

The imperative phrase “lock and load” originally referred to the operation of the standard U.S. Army rifle of WWII. Its meaning is more general now, referring to preparation for any imminent event.   Change viewed as a concept to be learned and mastered rather than a disruption can make all the difference in times of transition.

Surface and Substance in Times of Change

 “We have the power to choose and to exercise that power without giving control of it to situations. We cannot change anything but our own perspective and response, yet in that changing we change the world around us by becoming an instrument of insight and awareness.”

 Trust is like a fine crystal goblet. If it’s damaged and you try to repair it, it will be weak and the cracks will show. You have to start over.

Whether we want to rebuild trust or start establishing it in a new situation or environment, there are a few guidelines that help to do just that. When trust exists, the doors are open to effective communication and we have the inner freedom to self motivate and continue to grow personally and professionally.
