The speaker introduces the powerful concept of respect as the cornerstone of public discourse and a healthy, interactive and passionate dialogue. With the disintegration and continuous erosion of civility in today's public discourse, this special speaking program is more appropriate than ever. Respect is presented in a simplified new light, covering the basic concepts that govern respect, the principles that govern factors that explain the way you gain and lose respect, and the practices that enable a person to maintain respect - in an increasingly diverse workplace. All the principles and concepts presented are research-based and are rooted in the EKTIMIS Respect Model - a powerful framework for learning and teaching respect (developed by N. Taiwo).

He engages the use of relate-able stories and examples to illustrate each aspect of the insightful topic. Members of the audience will leave inspired, renewed, and energized - with a positive shift in attitude.
