7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming your Communication and Relationships at Work

We grew up thinking you should treat others how you’d want to be treated. But what if the Golden Rule isn’t always right? In this practical guide for any team leader and team player in the American workplace, Dr. Julie Pham helps you navigate the ambiguity of what it means to respect others. She offers thought-provoking questions and exercises that will transform your communication and relationships with the people you work with in lasting and surprising ways.

The book became a #1 Best Seller and #1 New Release in five Amazon categories, including Organizational Change, Running Meetings & Presentation, Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Business Etiquette, and Occupational and Organizational Popular Psychology.

“7 Forms of Respect” lowers walls and finds what we have in common and what we all ultimately seek in others and in ourselves: a desire to matter.

“Julie has created a framework to help one learn about their workmates and where your personal internal dialogue stems from. The CuriosityBased team took our 18-person department through a four-hour session on the 7 Forms of Respect. The breakout sessions with prompts gave us an opportunity to explore our thoughts in a shared space and learn from our workmates. The four hours went by quickly but were filled with internal and external insights. I encourage other teams to share this experience of learning the 7 forms of respect framework. It can help gain that extra layer of connection with themselves and others.”

Tisha Held, Philanthropy and BECU Foundation Manager
