We specialize in repairing DEI initiative failures by fostering a culture of respect and belonging within organizations. Our unique ADAIS method empowers companies to achieve lasting change without challenging personal beliefs. We guide organizations through behavior shifts that lead to sustainable success, helping teams engage with one another in a new, respectful way.
At With Respect, LLC, we stand apart from traditional DEI programs by prioritizing respect over challenging personal beliefs. Rather than focusing on ideological debates, we provide practical tools for respectful communication, conflict resolution, and leadership. By equipping organizations with these skills, we help them truly live out their values of respect with intention and clarity.
Inspired by a deep connection to Native American traditions, our founder’s mission is rooted in respect.

You’ve seen how diversity change initiatives have historically worked, and you understand they don’t work, even if you don’t know why or how. You’re looking for a better way, an effective way that will drive the success needed to ensure you have a respectful, inclusive environment where everyone feels safe and work gets done at the highest levels of productivity.
You recognize the importance of having a diverse workforce (in thought, perspective, talents, and experience), of people being able to work together as outstanding leaders and innovative teams, and of ensuring a respectful workplace; you just can’t get it through what is historically called DEI (DEIB, DEIJ, et al.).
You’ve tried DEI, anti-racism, and other programs without success. Instead of the progress you hoped for, ground has been lost. High turnover, low morale, and even toxic and hostile work environments are there instead or threatening to take hold.
The organization has been in the news or almost been in the news, over civil rights, poor customer service, and inappropriate cultural communication. Maybe there’s been litigation, and it’s cost a lot in fines and fees. The company’s image might be suffering, stakeholders are withdrawing, stock performance is dropping, and the customer base is impacted.
