The golden rule that you should treat others the way you want to be treated yourself never quite made sense to Julie Pham. What if the way you like to be treated doesn’t quite hit the mark with others?
As CEO and Founder of CuriosityBased and author of 7 Forms of Respect, Julie’s research has redefined the meaning of respect, as a dynamic, subjective concept that means different things to different people.
On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Julie shares the 7 forms of respect from her research and reflections on how to negotiate expectations surrounding respect in a way that works for all.
