Renew your commitment to manage and improve relationships – especially the important or difficult ones. Whether it is nuanced inter-personal relationships with co-workers, or the all-encompassing parent-child team, your Redwood relationship work involves assessment, action and improvement. Teams will be united by championing common goals and building mutual understanding.
Redwood will push you to make choices that hold yourself to a higher standard. You will become accountable to the priorities you have announced. Redwood will create a community of people who will champion your accomplishments, and hold you responsible to your commitments.
Not only is it impossible to live a life without setbacks frustration and failure, we wouldn’t want it anyway. Redwood provides tools for you to rebound quickly from setbacks by managing the internal dialogues that play in your head.
By aligning your values with your actions, you take control of your life with simple but rigorous strategies. This allows you to take ownership of what matters to you and open a world of options.
Once you have articulated the personal elements that define you, a customized plan to deploy these elements in targeted, tactical ways is created. Engagement with your own emotions, goals, family, team and objectives is a direct result of this Action Plan.
