What is a BADASS?
A Badass is someone who knows their stuff, has the confidence to design and deliver as a leader, trainer, coach or consultant. They know what they do will make positive changes.
Badassery also requires empathy, compassion, flexibility, and the willingness to get it wrong (the only way we learn) with a commitment to lifelong learning.
What does it mean to be a With Respect, Certified Badass Trainer?
It means a lot about who you are, what you know, and how you can do the work.
That’s the broad stroke. The beauty, however, is in the details.
DEI Failure is Change Failure
DEI work, as it is being done now, has been linked to almost no actual change. Indeed, most changes only last a few days
What’s worse is, DEI programs may actually do more harm than good!
Overall, 70% of all change inititiatives fail.
That’ means we need Badass leaders, consultants, coaches, and trainers who can lead us into success.
We need Change Agents who are BADASSES.
Are you ready to be a part of this important work?
Changing HOW Change is Done!
Leah Kyaio, architect of Badass Trainer Bootcamp and CEO/Founder of With Respect LLC has been altering the landscape of change management.
At the core of change management is understanding adult learning, what’s necessary for systems success, and how to implement, manage, measure, and succeed in all change initiatives, including DEI.
Leah discovered the blueprint to addressing what’s gone wrong and, most importantly, putting it back on track, creating change for individuals and organizations.
Badass Trainer Bootcamp is where you learn what she’s done to create success even in places where there’s resistance and hostility
This is NOT for everyone
Badass Trainer Bootcamp is NOT for those who want to simply “check the box” and declare the work is done.
Nor is it for anyone who thinks creating change should be “easy.”
Whether you just started in the work or have been doing it for decades, Badass Trainer Bootcamp is all about changing how you’ve thought about, designed, and delivered services, leadership, consultancy, coaching, or training.
Mindset Scaffolding™ is our powerful blueprint that will re-frame the way you think about DEI in every aspect of leading, training, learning, and engagement forever.
To Be a badass, You follow a code of conduct
BADASS CODE of CONDUCT
Whether you are a leader, trainer, coach, or consultant your Badass Trainer Certification comes with expectations of how you professionally engage with those you serve. The Code of Conduct is discussed, explored, and expanded within
the process of certification.
- RESPECT. Remember Equity Sincerity Patience Empathy Compassion Truthfulness
- INTEGRITY. Doing the right thing, every time, even when no one is watching.
- SAFETY. I create psychological safety in all my workspaces, places, and opportunities. Every precaution is taken to ensure that others do not experience harm. In the event harm occurs, I am equipped with tools and skills to mitigate impact and create new awareness.
- NO SHAME NO BLAME. I consistently use language that empowers others, particularly when engaging in corrective or guiding activities.
- CURIOSITY. I engage with authentic curiosity, asking questions that deepen my own understanding as well as that of those I serve.
- FOCUS. The best outcome for my clients is my sole focus. As a leader and teacher it is imperative that I have clear expectations and outcomes delivered through predictable processes. These are outlined in any agreements, formal and informal.
- STRENGTHS-BASED. I believe in myself and those I serve, knowing each of us brings unique gifts and perspectives to the world. As a leader and teacher it is my goal to support each of my clients to reach for their potential, providing the optimum environment for them to grow and expand.
- AWARENESS. I know my individual abilities and strengths and have the wisdom to know when something is not a good fit between myself and potential clients.
- CONFIDENTIALITY. Client information is managed and maintained with the utmost confidentiality with all precautions for cybersecurity applied.
- CHANGE AGENT. I have embarked on a journey as a change agent. As such, I commit to making effective change and change efforts in all my endeavors.
DEI Professionals
For many, you mention diversity training and they start snoring. Or they get angry, dismissive, or withdraw.
Close to 90% of diversity initiatives show no signs of success. Some even cause more harm.
For practitioners, the work can be gruling and burnout is high. Sometimes, the cost becomes personal, causing trauma to those trying hardest to do the work.
But that all changes for you right now!
With Respect’s Badass Trainer Certification Program™ is all about creating real change in the field. It’s about transforming what has been known as DEI into successful systemic programs that create real change.
It’s been over six decades and what has been done in the name of diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, belonging – whatever it has been called – just isn’t working! In so many cases, what’s been done is just making a bigger mess. It creates divisiveness; it creates a callous response to the word diversity; it creates political and social polarity.
Badass Trainer Certification Program™ addresses all the reasons that the previous work fails.
It teaches new mindsets that shift the focus and common into common practice, improved ways to design and deliver services, and allows for the creation and tracking of truly measurable outcomes that create change.
It’s all research and experience based. There is no doubt it works.
That’s why we can guarantee the success of our Certifiied Badass Trainers.
This certification serves well, not just DEI trainers, but also leaders, coaches, and consultants.

BTB Certification: The Premier Standard
Our BTB Certified trainers, consultants, coaches, and leaders have demonstrated through education, performance, experience, and assessment that they understand and can provide services with the tools, knowledge, resources, and abilities
to move change forward successfully in any environment.
Not only do they know their stuff, they demonstrate the Badass Code of Conduct as part of their professionalism and can apply the Mindset Scaffolding Blueprint within any change priority or system.
It is this premier standard that allows them to become some of the most sought after professionals in their fields.
STEP 1.
It starts with our online course.
This 12-18 hour course covers the basic theory and concepts on which the techniques, skills, and strategies for Mindset Scaffolding Blueprint™ (THE Blueprint) is built.
It is through this blueprint that we learn the steps and the process of how to improve our programatic design and delivery. This is the “how.”
Upon successful completion of this online course (requires +85% on all the assessments), you will be ELIGIBLE TO APPLY for Badass Trainer Bootcamp Intensive (more below)
To be clear, this step is designed as stand-alone content, meaning, you never have to take Step 2 to really benefit from learning the Mindset Scaffolding Blueprint™ and applying it on your own! It can be added to any practice to
improve what you’re already doing.
But the ONLY way to become a Certified Badass Trainer is to complete Step 2.
Step 2.
Badass Trainer Bootcamp Intensive
Once you’ve completed the online course, you will be
eligible to register for the Badass Trainer Bootcamp Intensive only with a Successful Completion Certificate from the Foundations Online Course. This requires 85% success on all course assessments.
The Intensive is a six day, face-to-face event where you learn, practice, and assimilate the blueprint you’ve learned about and so much more. This is the “how to.”
This is not just a learning experience. It’s an adventure designed to integrate the strategies, research, and tools into your practice, into your bones.
In the process of that experience, you demonstrate your learning, engage with other learners, and are assessed on your competence of the model. The successful result is Certification as a With Respect Badass Trainer.
This is done through a small cohort group of 12-20 people who embark on this adventure to learn and grow together throughout the full 6-day experience. It is set up as a consecutive 6 days or three 2-day weekend experiences. The small group size ensures individual progress and learning with direct 1:1 attention from the instructor.
Upon completion of the Intensive, there are monthly group coaching sessions available for anyone who has engaged in the Badass Trainer Bootcamp Program.
