Respect Rally
PROGRAM: 1 day event with 6-months of follow-up activities to keep it going!
Picture a gymnasium filled with hundreds of teen girls, sitting in circles, listening intently to each other, doing engaging group activities, sharing their deepest feelings and hopes for themselves, and working together to design a new world where all girls are respected and respect each other. Picture each girl walking away from the day empowered to boost self-respect, sisterhood and social change in her life (and our world). This is what happens when girls attend a day-long Respect Rally. Check out the Respect Rally info page!

Respect Rx Leadership Retreat
PROGRAM: 1 week
Girls who complete a Respect Rally are eligible to apply to attend the annual Respect Rx Leadership Retreat (July 2009) to take their self-respect and social change skills to the next level!

Assemblies & Workshops
PROGRAM: 1 to 4 hours workshops; 15 min. to 1 hour keynotes
Courtney is available to keynote conferences and to conduct workshops and assemblies. Her workshops are interactive and intimate. Courtney’s approach is to share her personal story of how she got on the road to respect after a tough childhood and many painful mistakes. After sharing her own experiences, she listens to girls about the issues that concern or hurt them the most. Finally, she empowers girls through skill-building activities how to boost their self-respect, make sisterhood a important value in their lives, and to take action to positively change the world for all girls.

Break-Out Workshop Topics
The Respect Basics
Find out how respect is connected to everything: your feelings about yourself, your choices, your relationships and your future. Learn the secrets to boosting your self-respect, making healthy choices, creating respect in your relationships, and changing your world for the better.

My Body, Myself
Your body is your home sweet home. Yet, there are a lot of forces out there that can make a girl disconnect from her body, disrespect her health, or even hate her body (and the person who lives there). Learn how to identify toxic influences that mess with your body image, to make healthy choices that support your values and goals, and how to love yourself for real (mind, body, soul and all!).

Sisterhood
If disrespect or drama is going down at your school or among your friends—like name-calling, rumors, sexual harassment—find out how you can take a stand and make changes. Learn how to make sisterhood an important part of your life, how to support other girls and how to work together to make respect rule your school.

Change Your World, Girl! (Social Change & Leadership)
Learn how to fight for Your Rights and change your community working side by side with other girls. Find out how to lead meetings, get organized around a cause, plan a campaign for change, and make your voice heard with politicians and decision-makers. Plus, learn how sisterhood can change the world!

Getting REAL
Girls and women don’t have to let unrealistic ideals diminish their power. They can get REAL instead…I've teamed up with the amazing Audrey Brashich, author of ALL MADE UP: A Girl’s Guide to Seeing Through Celebrity Hype & Celebrating Real Beauty, to deliver an empowering workshop for teen girls and young women about how to recognize their REAL assets. During these interactive workshops and keynotes, girls and women learn how to boost their media literacy, improve their body image and be REAL role models. Learn more about this special program...
