Blueprint for Respect in the Workplace

What could a white, middle-aged, middle-class male have to say about diversity? Plenty!
The themes of respect and diversity have been two of the most misunderstood and, oftentimes, controversial topics ever discussed in the American workplace. Seldom have diversity and respect been presented as assets to be actively sought, nurtured and cultivated.

Based on research for his upcoming book, stories from world travels, years of corporate experience and his own "mixed" marriage, Tony 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 is about me, not them
  • Stereotypes, myths and prejudgments
  • Knowledge vs. belief
  • Challenging the need to be “right”
  • Self-esteem: The key to respectful behavior
  • The 10 Rules of Engagement
