Send us a text The Dignity IndexSpeaking of the Utah Pilot Project, University of Utah President Taylor Randall said, “The Dignity Index relies on one of the most ancient tools for social change in the history of human beings – conscience. When we see how often we use contempt and how harmful it is, we see we're a part of the problem, and that makes us part of the solution.”Donna Hicks, the author of the book Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict created the list of The 10 Elements of Dignity. ACCEPTING DIGNITYINCLUSIONSAFETYACKNOWLEDGEMENTINDEPENDENCERECOGNITIONFAIRNESSBENEFIT OF THE DOUBTUNDERSTANDINGACCOUNTABILITYThis episode focuses on ACCEPTING DIGNITY. “Approach people as being neither inferior nor superior to you. Give others the freedom to express their authentic selves without fear of being negatively judged. Interact without prejudice or bias, accepting the ways in which race, religion, ethnicity, gender, class, age, and disability may be at the core of other people's identities. Assume that others have integrity.”You found me! If what you heard on the No Empty Chairs podcast gives you hope for more help, please schedule a free Conversation with Candice.

Donna Hicks: Leading with Dignity Donna Hicks is an Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University and the former Deputy Director of the Program on International Conflict Analysis and Resolution (PICAR). She has facilitated dialogues in numerous unofficial diplomatic efforts and was a consultant to the BBC in Northern Ireland, where she co-facilitated a television series, Facing the Truth, with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. She is the author of Dignity: It's Essential Role in Resolving Conflict and Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People*. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different than respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We're at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.

Our friend Donna Hicks, a Harvard professor, world peace negotiator and author of the book, Leading With Dignity, was recently in St. Louis to participate in an event co-sponsored by Barry-Wehmiller at St. Louis University. It was a roundtable discussion on a subject of which Donna is an expert: dignity. We also brought her to Barry-Wehmiller to have a discussion with our senior leadership team. Donna has appeared on this podcast before, but while she was in town we wanted to sit down and have a conversation to talk about her work in defining and characterizing the importance of the concept of dignity. We also wanted to talk with Donna about how Truly Human Leadership and the work Barry-Wehmiller is doing to influence leadership and business honors dignity.    

Being a people manager means developing the soft skills you need to manage a range of people. You'll encounter people with different personalities and work styles, and a range of communication skills. Each person may have different priorities and motivations. "Soft skills" can be hard to get right, depending on your situation. This episode starts with some prompts to get you thinking about the role of dignity in your work relationships, and how it fits with the soft skills that every manager needs to develop. ** After the Episode** For more about the book Dignity by Dr Donna Hicks, visit; https://drdonnahicks.com/ Get the next cohort dates for Communication Strategies for Managers: https://maven.com/kimnicol/communication-strategies For private coaching, or to discuss a workshop or training for your team: https://kimnicol.com/ Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnicol/

A lot of new managers tell me they're conflict avoidant and struggle to communicate directly when it feels like there's conflict brewing. If that's you, then this episode is for you. I've been reading a book, Dignity: The Essential Role It Plays in Resolving Conflict. The author is Dr. Donna Hicks, an Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. She has worked as a conflict resolution specialist for years. In her book, she talks about dignity violations and describes these ten essential elements of dignity: Acceptance of Identity Inclusion Safety Acknowledgment Recognition Fairness Benefit of the Doubt Understanding Independence Accountability In today's episode you'll get introduced to these elements. I highly recommend reading her book in full! I've found it to be a helpful model for thinking in a new way about conflict, and how to heal from conflict.

This interview with Dr. Mica Estrada explores her work in researching belonging, social identity, and kindness. Beginning with an exploration of impostor phenomena, we first explore stories about Donna Hicks's direct experience at being affirmed and welcomed. Returning to Estrada's research, we examine the impact of Dr. Kellman and the development of a social integration model of self-efficacy, identity, and values. This model has been used to explore the experiences of minoritized students in STEM fields and community responses to climate change. The episode closes with examinations of belonging and stereotype threat and the power of kindness and accompaniment as dignity-affirming practices.The Music & Peacebuilding Podcast is hosted by Kevin Shorner-Johnson at Elizabethtown College.

We may be different and unequal in positions of power, but we are all equal in dignity. Dignity consciousness or what international expert on conflict resolution, Dr. Donna Hicks, calls “Mandela Consciousness,” ensures that nobody can take away your dignity. Dignity is your inherent value or worth. You're born with it. It is different to respect, which is earned. At the heart of every conflict and injustice in the world is an assault on human dignity. As leaders, how do we ensure that the way we lead upholds the dignity of the people we're leading. Join this conversation between Dr. Hicks and Anne Pratt as they unravel the threads of this unspoken human conversation that may just be the key to resolving conflicts and creating a culture that brings out the best in people.Love the show?

Dr. Montessori writes in Citizen of the World “What is most wanted is no patronizing charity for humanity, but a reverent consciousness of its dignity and worth.” This next conversation with professor, consultant, and author Donna Hicks explores her most recent book Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People, which was published by Yale University Press in August 2018. Her dignity work is a result of her unofficial diplomatic efforts to bring peace to places in conflict around the world. Our discussion takes us into the importance of dignity work in classrooms and how our awareness is the beginning point of that work.

Once upon a time, Jason loved his job facilitating social and emotional learning in public schools. Then, in 2017, a new ideological framework began to take root in school SEL programs that eroded the foundation of goodwill that his work was based upon. But instead of giving into nihilism or despair, Jason forged a new path. He developed a new philosophy rooted in his values of dignity, integrity, and humor. From that, Empowered Humanity Theory was born. In this episode, Jason and I explore values-based, ideologically and politically neutral alternatives to such contentious topics as Social and Emotional Learning, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion curriculums. Jason Littlefield is a lifelong learner and longtime educator. In 2021 he left public education after 21 years because his job (SEL Specialist) evolved to advance an ideology rather enhance the human experience and condition. He now promotes Empowered Humanity Theory to schools, workplaces & communities that seek to build empowering and dignified communities. He is a co-founder and board member of Free Black Thought; a Director and board member of The Institute For Liberal Values; and host of the Reformation Radio podcast. In this episode, I mentioned several other episodes: my conversations with Leslie Elliott, Jessie Mannisto, Mike Belcher, and Deb Fillman. I also mentioned books by Leonard Sax and Donna Hicks, which you can find in my bookshop.

“Understanding Dignity means understanding a profound aspect of what it means to be human.” - Dr. Donna HicksGuest Donna Hicks has worked in conflict resolution around the world, including Israel/Palestine, Sri Lanka, and Northern Ireland. A few years back, she realized that all conflicts shared an essential commonality:  someone's dignity had been violated. This episode explores where dignity violations showed up in the midterm elections, how peacebuilders can partner with the media to have a greater impact, and more Donna Hicks is an associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and a co-founder of the Dignity Index. Find Donna's book here. Making Peace Visible is a project of War Stories Peace Stories.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission. In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Donna Hicks-Mitchell, Corporate Discovery Strategist, Speaker, Author & Executive Coach for Leaders. Donna is a global diversity and inclusion leader focused on helping organizations maximize and retain diverse talent. Tune in to learn Donna's thoughts on making the onboarding process more equitable, operationalizing equity-driven leadership, the impact of employee trust, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

"nobody can "demand respect", because respect has to be earned, but everyone can demand to be treated with dignity.. " Great conversation with Donna as we explore the concept of dignity and how to put it into words and actions. Donna underlines the power of giving a label to profoundly emotional human reactions that are impossible to articulate in difficult/conflict situations. Using the right language legitimises suffering, opens doors for understanding and starts discussions. Leaders must understand that Dignity is our highest common denominator. We need to acknowledge that we are worthy no matter what, and we that need the emotional infrastructure to ensure that we can survive negative experiences, atone for mistakes and recover from violation and violating others' dignity.  Humanity/dignity is a level playing field yet sadly shame and fear form the basis of much organisational culture, and there is not necessarily a place for emotions, vulnerability or compassion. Here dignity skills are required for building a safe environment and leaders need to understand how this can help to create a more inclusive workplace, and create a whole new paradigm of empowerment.  Donna shares her insights, research and experience from working with Dignity and the dignity model with leaders across the globe.  The main insights you'll get from this episode are :  This approach is applicable to and resonates in all arenas; dignity is the highest common denominator of humans, who all want to be treated as something of value - indeed, the ‘D' in DE&I could just as well stand for dignity as we should all treat each other with dignity. Dignity, and the assaulting thereof, gives a label to profoundly emotional human reactions that are impossible to articulate in difficult/conflict situations - using the right language legitimises suffering, opens doors and starts discussions. Mandela consciousness – nobody can be stripped of their dignity, we are the guardians of our own dignity and it unifies us. The biggest dignity violators are those who have been violated the most. We must understand that we are worthy no matter what; we need the emotional infrastructure to ensure that we survive negative experiences, atone for mistakes and recover from violation and violating others. There is a fundamental difference between dignity and respect: we cannot ‘demand' respect (it should be earned), but we can ‘demand' to be treated as a human being (we can learn it). As dignity-conscious people, we require the 3 c's: connection to our own dignity, connection to others' dignity, connection to something greater than ourselves that gives life meaning. Leaders must frame these connections for employees for an organisation to have dignity too, but there is often a disconnect between these three connections in organisations - everyone should be able to connect regardless of their position in the organisation. There are ten elements of dignity: accepting identity, fairness, independence, recognition, acknowledgement, understanding, safety, accountability, inclusion, benefit of the doubt. -       80% of people said safety was the most violated element in the workplace – they don't speak up when something bad happens, they ‘suck up' dignity violations and can't be their authentic selves. There are dignity skills required for a safe environment: being able to speak up and give / receive feedback skilfully – humans have a biological aversion to feedback and we must take the shame out of it by using disarming language and practicing delivery. We all have blind spots and feedback is a learning opportunity that should be seen as positive, not negative, to help leaders in a workplace move from self-reflection to self-correction. Humanity/dignity is a level playing field yet sadly shame and fear form the basis of much organisational culture – problems often stem from bad policy, therefore the...

As human beings, we value our dignity and have an innate tendency to defend our dignity when it comes under threat. Why is dignity so important to us and what role can it play in healing and reconciling differences? On this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, our host Colette Rausch sits down with Dr. Donna Hicks, an Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, to discuss what exactly dignity is, her experiences working with those who have had their dignity infringed upon and the road to recovery from these acts.

We launch our series on dignity with this double-length episode. Honoring dignity can transform your workplace--and you. Donna Hicks's work on dignity inspired this series. Learn more here. And stay tuned for our future episodes about what happens when we violate dignity--and how to overcome it.  We would love your questions and comments for future episodes: Email Mike and Mark. 

As we discuss conversations on this podcast— key conversations we must have with our children about tough topics— sex, death, divorce, porn, failure, ADHD, bullying— discussions where emotions can run high, agendas can cloud openness and listening and true presence— fear can make us shy away from saying what truly needs to be said, or heard or understood. What if there was a step that we needed to take before we had these all important conversations— a step that acknowledged the importance of dignity for each person— to hold another person's dignity as precious and valuable while also knowing that our own would be kept in tact as well. How might that affect these key conversations we have with our partners, with our children, with teachers, instructors, coaches— people who touch our lives and help to shape how they evolve. And what if we focused on dignity as a fundamental part of raising our children to become leaders— showing and discussing how we can lead with dignity and create a culture that brings out the best in people? For these questions and more, we turn to our distinguished guest, Dr. Donna Hicks. The post How to Talk to Kids about Dignity with Dr. Donna Hicks – ReRelease appeared first on drrobynsilverman.com.

Hallam, VictoriaConstable Jason Bryant and Sergeant Allan Beckwith were patrolling north along Hallam Road, when they spotted a stolen Nissan Bluebird with stolen registration plates backing out of Bowens Timber and Hardware.Neither of the officers knew the car or plates were stolen at that moment, but the driver was hasty to be on their way, so the police pulled over and let them pass, before putting on their lights and pulling the vehicle over. This was night time so the occupants of the Bluebird may not have known this was a police car, but they soon learnt.As Sergeant Beckwith left his vehicle to approach the Bluebird, a middle aged husky looking man leapt out of the Nissan with a revolver pointed directly at the officer, then fired a shot...Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the murders of Donna Hicks and Kristy Harty, the Pigout and Hamada Robberies, and a few other cases linked with Bandali Debs in this 2 part episode that culminates with the coverage of the tragic Silk-Miller Police murders on next week's episode.Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below: Eavesdropping on Evil, by Wayne HowellOne Down, One Missing, by Joe D’Alo and David Astle'Everyman' serial killer Bandali Debs pays price for murders of officers Gary Silk and Rodney Miller, sex workers Kristy Harty and Donna Hicks, by Paul Anderson, HeraldSunWikipedia - Narre WarrenMan charged over $2.4m Melbourne security van heist 22 years agoDPP v Ghiller [2003] VSC 350; 151 A Crim R 148R v Debs [2012] NSWSC 119Rotten to the core, and now rotting in jail, John Silvester, The AgeR v Debs [2007] VSC 220 (22 June 2007)

How can we ensure we not only respect people’s dignity, but also protect our own? Violations of dignity lie at the heart of many conflicts, from the global stage to the corner office. Yet, dignity is a concept we rarely discuss. Donna Hicks, author of the book, Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture that Brings out the Best in People, believes it all starts with understanding the difference between dignity and respect: “Respect is something that has to be earned, whereas dignity is something that each and every one of us deserves. We are born with it.” Drawing on her extensive experience in international conflict resolution, and insights from psychology and neuroscience, she shares the essential elements of dignity and how to respond effectively when our dignity is violated. And she explains the importance of learning these skills in today’s workplace. In this interview, Donna also reveals how past behavior can prevent us from leading with dignity: “If you want to lead your life with dignity, one of the things that I think gets in the way of that is feeling ashamed and embarrassed by the ways in which we’ve violated people’s dignity.” Donna is a conflict resolution specialist who has facilitated diplomatic efforts in the Middle East and other high-conflict regions. She’s also an associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. Her first book is titled, Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict.

Israel and Palestine. Northern Ireland. Colombia. Libya. These are more than just countries to Donna Hicks. Notorious for their political upheaval and turmoil, within their borders, Donna has sat between sworn enemies and dared to help them find common ground. Wherever there is an “intractable conflict” in the world, Donna and her team work diligently to facilitate dialogue between the disparate parties and find ways for them to work together. It’s far from easy, but over the past 25 years, Donna has noticed a pattern emerge, helping her achieve better results with each conversation. I can’t wait for you to hear one of Donna’s favorite stories from her time in Libya. It gives me hope that even when things look dark - when we choose to respect the dignity of others and connect with each other there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel.

      Dr. Donna Hicks               Are You Valuing Dignity in the Workplace? As a leader, what is more important – dignity, respect or trust? Actually, that is a trick question. While respect and trust must be earned, dignity is inherent in every human being. It does not need to be earned. So the big question is, are you respecting the dignity of everyone in your organization? When leaders don’t treat others with dignity, their respect for you will be undermined. Every human being is vulnerable to having their dignity hurt, and dignity be violated when we try to ‘look good’ and ‘save face.’ We undermine respect when we don’t come clean and tell the truth. Dignity is important and it is important for leaders to understand their role in it.

Whether a conflict involves international powers, corporate leadership, or a husband and wife, a violation of dignity is always the underlying cause. No matter the situation, we are all looking to be treated as if we have worth and value, and it is this fundamental desire for dignity that makes us human. How can a better understanding of the principles of dignity help us improve our relationships and address conflicts in a way that doesn’t perpetuate a destructive dynamic? Donna Hicks has 20-plus years of experience as a facilitator in international conflicts in the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Cuba, Northern Ireland and the US.

In episode 7 of the Ikeda Center podcast, Donna Hicks introduces her definition of the concept of dignity as well as its relation to resolving conflict. She explains, "Every single one of us, we all have dignity. We're born with it. It's part of who we are as a human being and we all have inherent value and inherent worth. In fact, I would even argue that we are not only valuable and worthy, but that we are invaluable, that we're priceless and irreplaceable.”    Dr. Hicks also shares insights on fostering a culture of dignity in the workplace. She states, ”I think a good leader will recognize that not only does she or he have to embrace the work, but also embrace the concept that we want everybody to be treated as if they're valued and cared for here.” Dr. Hicks is Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and author of the "Dignity: The Essential Role it Plays in Resolving Conflict." She has 20 years of experience facilitating dialogue between communities in conflict all over the world, including the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Cuba, and Northern Ireland.  Learn more about her work at: drdonnahicks.com The audio from this interview is from a series of video reflections that were posted on the Ikeda Center YouTube page in January of 2015.
