Respect is earned. You cannot buy it, give it away or keep it once you have it. You have to work at gaining it, keeping it and you always have to be mindful of it.
If you want to earn respect then you must define your values. I knew a woman who kept complaining that she was treated like – well, I can’t use the word here. After speaking with her about what she thought she was doing right with men, it turns out she was sending all the wrong signals and setting herself up not to be respected. A big part of respect is letting people know where you stand and what your boundaries are.
The second part of respect is enforcing these boundaries. If someone knows you stand for a certain moral viewpoint and they run over you for it, what do you do? If you do nothing, respect isn’t earned or can’t be maintained. So, it is important to hold people accountable and hold yourself accountable when it comes to matters of respect.
Still have questions? Contact me. I am available to consult with you on matters of respect in business and respect as an entertainment brand.
Until tomorrow,
Coco the CEO
