Can "respect" really make a difference in today's fast-paced world or is it just a quaint-throw back to a less complicated time? Based on her new ground-breaking book, Norville shares with audiences the compelling evidence that adding an element of respect results in measurable, meaningful benefits in almost every area of life. Using peer-reviewed academic literature, Norville discusses:

- how parents can receive respect from their children and use it to bring calm to chaotic families,

- how respect can be used as the glue to hold relationships together,

- how respect can be used in the workplace to improve employee performance and innovation,

- how respect can save employers thousands of dollars per worker,

- how respect can combat the 'bullycide' epidemic in schools, (1 in 3 twelve- to eighteen-year-olds are bullied at school)

- how respect at school helps teachers 'find' as many as 17 additional days of teaching time when respect becomes part of the curriculum, and

- how respect can help displaced workers find a job.
