You Don’t Have To Earn My Respect

May 21, 2018 by Iman Gatti

You don’t have to earn my respect.

I give respect from the get go because that’s what feels good and authentic to me. Also, because I believe in #uncommondecency but if you act in ways that tarnish, diminish or downright obliterate it then that’s a whole other story.

Sometimes, people earn my disrespect. And if that’s where you put your energy in our connection then we may never come back from that. But you start off with a full tank of respect and I trust that it will be cherished and nurtured and sacred….to both of us.

No matter what I’ve lived through, survived, thrived and bounced back from, I know in my heart of hearts that people are mostly incredible and talented and lovable and good.

Even the ones who seem pretty shitty – I feel like they are dealing with their own stuff and send all the healing and happy dust their way that I can muster. I steer clear from assholes but I still wish them well on their own journey. Just stay the fuck away from me ✌🏼💋

I truly believe life is fleeting and glorious and terrible and amazing all at the same time and I know time is the most phenomenal gift we have. So I choose not to waste it, take it for granted or spend it on things/people/places that don’t serve me.

I am determined to surround myself with beautiful souls who love hard and live well and aim to bring as much goodness to this planet as they can. I don’t make myself available for anything less than fabulous and that’s just how I roll.

Allowing someone in your life or engaging with someone who is determined to disrespect you is, in my opinion, abusive.

If someone can’t summon up a basic courtesy such as respecting your choices, lifestyle, desires and needs, then their presence in your life will only deteriorate the goodness you have created.

And not everyone can afford to lose an ounce of goodness.

You won’t be disappointed!Ryan Cammidge
I recently booked Iman to be the keynote speaker for my Healthcare Security Association’s annual conference. GREAT decision on my part. Iman’s presentation came across with equal parts authenticity, vulnerability, strength and ferocity. Very well received by all in attendance. Her performance was as fabulous as her shoes. You won’t be disappointed.

One of the best investments you can make!Michelle Bagnell
I'll start by sharing that I was absolutely terrified of public speaking! My first time meeting Iman I was blessed to witness her share her story. To summarize what I saw: vulnerability, realness and authenticity which was followed by a massive feeling of inspiration. She has truly mastered giving others energy and opening them up to revealing their truth and inner gifts. Within two sessions of seeing her, I was able to speak in front of a room full of strangers, establish my message and share my story. After these sessions I am now counting down the days to my first public speaking event! An amazing coach and human being like Iman is one of the best investments you can make in moving forward with your goals. Thank you, Iman, for helping me grow personally, in my business, improve my verbal and non-verbal communication skills and share my message with others.
I have gained full control of my power and my life!Barb Gordon
The energy and enthusiasm that Iman helped me draw forth on a daily basis is astounding. I have gained full control of my power and my life! Iman is compassionate yet fierce. She is refreshingly authentic and always keeps it real. I could never have pushed this hard without her big juicy love in my corner! The changes in my life and myself are magnificent not mediocre. I not only would recommended working with Iman, but I sent her the most important people in my life – she’s that good!! My wife and I both have taken Iman's Soulful Self-Love course and all we want is more!!
Her Presence is Pure LoveKerissa Kuis
Iman is one of the most amazing coaches I have ever had the honor of working with. She was truly able to meet me where I was at and help ask the exact questions to help me make life changing decisions on my own. Her story is powerful and her presence is pure love. She was also a guest speaker in my coaching certification program and she moved every student to tears with her own personal story of transformation and resilience. The students often revisit her talk anytime they are feeling down because Iman is so uplifting and beautiful in the delivery of her message.
I Was Blown AwayMelissa Di Natale
Within the first minute of hearing Iman speak, I knew that what she was about to say was going to change my life. She presented a few courses at my work, which encouraged me to sign up for a four-week coaching session about living my dream life. I was blown away the genuine emotion and empathy she presented in the sessions. Listening to her story and being part of her unique approach was an outstanding experience that has truly affected my life. I later did a one-on-one coaching session in which we were able to dive deeper into my world. The tools, wisdom and motivation I gained from that one hour has already impacted me daily. And that was just one session! I would recommend Iman in a heartbeat.
Best Presentation I’ve Ever Experienced!Empowerment Workshop Attendee
This by far was the best presentation I ever experienced. I was move beyond belief. I laughed and cried. I felt very hopeful and excited and empowered at the end. Iman should definitely come back to speak her story to each and every woman who walks through these doors. I feel eternally grateful for this experience.
Changed My Life!!!!!!!!Empowerment Workshop Attendee
Hearing Iman really did change my life. She helped give me extra confidence in believing in myself... and listening to myself.
She Has Your Full Attention!Empowerment Workshop Attendee
Iman was born to be a motivational speaker. There is not one thing I’d change. From start to finish she has your full attention and with the meditation everything seemed to flow together so well.
I Had a Spiritual Awakening! Vanessa Maiko
When I heard that you had the Self-Love Bootcamp scheduled, I just knew I HAD to go. It was like the universe was literally begging me to go! So I bought my ticket immediately! And boy was I so happy I did. ☺ I'm writing to thank you and tell you that the experience I had at the Self-Love Bootcamp was amazing! I cried and I laughed. I had a spiritual awakening. It's like a massive light bulb went off in my brain.

Incredible Way of Sharing!Vanessa Hettinger
Iman has an incredible way of sharing her personal experiences in a way that allows those in her presence to see things in themselves and to open up to possibilities!
A Whole New World of Possibilities!!Jennifer Twerdochlib
Iman Gatti is one of the most hard-working, genuine and passionate people that I know. I trusted her and gave the coaching sessions a try. I am so happy that I did! A coach like Iman can provide you the out of the box perspective that you will not get anywhere else. She not only opened up a whole world of possibilities but also taught me techniques to help me deal with those difficult life situations that tend to pop up from time to time. Iman has made a huge difference in my life and if you are looking for a life coach, I strongly encourage you to give her a try!
