EKTIMIS Launches Innovative Training Program Designed to Develop a Network of Experts and Advocates to Promote Deeper Understanding of Respect in Society

    BOSTON, MA, July 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- EKTIMIS, the brand that introduced the EKTIMIS Respect Model, a visual and powerful tool that illustrates and explains the components and the concept of respect, is launching an expert and advocate development program later this summer. The four-day training and development program, planned for the week of September 14, 2015 in the greater Boston area, is designed to develop a network of professional individuals who will graduate to become experts and advocates on the topic of respect. This growing network of professional experts are expected to serve as advocates promoting a deeper and better understanding of the essence and importance of respect in all aspects of an increasingly diverse, less tolerant, often ignorant, and highly polarized society.

A recently published (February 15, 2015) survey result by Cosmopolitan indicates that 1 in 3 women is sexually harassed in the workplace. The National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in 2011 that 28% of U.S. students in grades 6 to 12 experienced bullying. Recent headline news continue to highlight the growing tension and increasing lack of respect between local community youth and young adults and law enforcement - as displayed most recently by alarming events in Baltimore, Maryland. A spokesperson for EKTIMIS is quoted as saying, "Whether in a workplace, a home, a school, a social venue, or a local community, the need for mutual respect and self-respect rooted in a deeper level of understanding is desperately needed in today's society."

Prospective businesses and interested individuals can learn more about this innovative EKTIMIS Training and Development Program and can enroll by visiting the EKTIMIS website. With a deeper level of understanding and more insightful knowledge of the topic of respect the network of professional experts that will emerge from this annual program will serve as inspirational speakers, advocates, and transformation agents in their local communities, work environment, home environment, educational environment, and social venues.
