Dignity Inc
Overview
Dignity Inc was created to focus on one thing…Emotions
Emotions play an undeniable role in shaping our lives, families, and careers. There is an ironclad connection between your emotions and how you show up for yourself and others.
At Dignity Inc, we are no longer willing to accept the myths and misconceptions regarding emotions that devalue their importance in decision-making, problem-solving, and relationship-building.
We believe that emotions are logical, relevant, practical, and a gift that every human was born with.
These beliefs are reflected in the work we do through Dignity in Policing, Dignity in Leadership, our Emotional Regulation Assessment, our unique curriculum and learning tools.
At their core, our offers inspire and enable. Emotional literacy, resilience, agility, intelligence, and regulation are our tools. Emotions play a vital role when police de-escalate, when leaders face the challenge of delegating effectively, and when parents raise their children to know their self-worth.
Our purpose is to help others evolve emotionally and find the path that leads to their own emotional mastery. Our highest hope is that our approach helps learners realize that it is time to take a new look at their emotional understanding and competence. We chose this arena because we care enough to try and are willing to do what is required to support those who support others.
