Respect in the Workplace

Looking Beyond The Traditional Conversation on Diversity

The themes of respect and diversity have been two of the most misunderstood and, often times, controversial topics ever discussed in the American workplace. Based on research for his upcoming book, stories from world travels, years of corporate experience and his own "mixed" marriage, Paul engages audiences in this highly insightful presentation on respectful behaviors in the workplace (and the community).

If you're looking for a presentation to reframe diversity into a concept that everyone can embrace and benefit from, this is the one!

Key Themes:


  • Tolerance is no longer enough
  • The cost of disrespectful behaviors
  • Respect...the new end-game

  • Stereotypes, myths and prejudgments
  • Knowledge vs. beliefs
  • Challenging the need to be "right"
  • Healthy self-esteem: The key to respect for others
