EKTIMIS Respect Model
A Framework for Learning & Teaching Respect
Respect is a measure of the psychological valuation of people and things — i.e. how much we value other people and things. By this definition, respect is also the currency of valuation of people and things.
Just as we place a monetary value on a piece of jewelry, a vehicle, or a house, we also place a value on people — psychological value, instead of monetary value.
What the ERM™ Does
The EKTIMIS Respect Model™ (ERM) converts the definition of respect into a visual form — to facilitate a better understanding of respect. It presents a comprehensive, yet simplified view of the various components and constructs of the concept of respect between people: in the workplace, at home, between friends, and the all-important self-respect.

EKTIMIS Respect Magnets
The EKTIMIS Respect Model™ (ERM) shows that we manifest (show) respect three different ways — at a Human level, at a Positional level, and at an Earned (personal) level. Shown below are important (and largely universal) personal qualities and values that each of us can cultivate, or strengthen, that will enable us to command, promote, and gain more respect from others. Think of each of these qualities and values as magnets for respect.
