When actions are out of line with values, there is dissonance. That friction we experience defines how we view a person, a situation…even ourself. Understanding what we mean when we use the words respect and self respect give us clues about how we evaluate others. What about ourself though? In this world where everything goes so fast, its easy to forget to check in with ourself. A personal reflection, a check in, is important to understand how we are responding to situations…and how others respond to us. On this program, leaders discuss how do you earn your own respect?
