Takeaway #11: One of the best ways to connect and collaborate well with others is to make the effort to truly SEE them.  A lot of us at Redmond read David Brooks book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen in 2024, and we loved it! It fits so well with our core value of Ubuntu, and we found the practical tips so helpful. Check it out! #RedmondInc #RedmondExperience

On the 10th day of Christmas, Reflection gave to me… In the spirit of the holidays and (our core value of Reflection), we’re reviewing 12 of our top takeaways topics we discussed at Redmond in 2024! Takeaway #10: The people on your team make all the difference in your work experience and the results you’re able to achieve together. In work situations, we all know that being a team player is important. But what makes someone a good team player? What makes someone a great team player? In his Ted Talk entitled “The Ideal Team Player” (which shares a name with his book), Patrick Lencioni discusses the three traits that make someone an ideal team player, and how missing one of those traits can cause issues.

On the 9th day of Christmas, Reflection gave to me… In the spirit of the holidays and (our core value of Reflection), we’re reviewing 12 of our top takeaways topics we discussed at Redmond in 2024! Takeaway #9: While there are genetic components that contribute to depression and anxiety, these are often symptoms of unmet psychological needs, which are often as important to our wellbeing as physical needs. In his Ted Talk, “This Could Be Why You’re Depressed or Anxious,” journalist Johann Hari challenges the common belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains, and explores factors that may have an even greater impact on our minds than we thought. At Redmond, we know the potential of the workplace to create purpose and wellbeing. That’s why our mission is to elevate the human experience in body, heart, mind, and spirit.

On the 8th day of Christmas, Reflection gave to me… In the spirit of the holidays and (our core value of Reflection), we’re reviewing 12 of our top takeaways topics we discussed at Redmond in 2024! Takeaway #8: When we only have one story of a person or place, we make assumptions that probably aren’t true because we’re working with limited information. In other words, we stereotype. In her Ted talk “The Danger of a Single Story,” Chimamanda Adichie talks about times when a single story distorted her view of herself and others, and times when others had a single story that distorted their view of HER. A single story is when we have limited information about a person, place, event, etc. We only have one story that portrays that person as one thing, so we miss out on the full scope of who that person or place is, and what’s actually going on.

On the 7th day of Christmas, Reflection gave to me… In the spirit of the holidays and (our core value of Reflection), we’re reviewing 12 of our top takeaways topics we discussed at Redmond in 2024! Takeaway #7: “We can’t connect the dots looking forward. We can only connect them looking backward.” -Steve Jobs In his 2005 Stanford Commencement address, Steve Jobs tells three stories from his life about dropping out of college, getting fired from Apple, and his cancer diagnosis. Those sound like three rough life experiences, and they were in their own ways, but they each led to so much growth, faith, curiosity, and clarity around what’s really important in life.

On the 6th day of Christmas, Reflection gave to me… In the spirit of the holidays and (our core value of Reflection), we’re reviewing 12 of our top takeaways topics we discussed at Redmond in 2024! Takeaway #6: A tiny, seemingly insignificant action can have a massive impact. In his talk, Andy Andrews tells the story of Norman Borlaug, who developed a strain of hardy, high-yield wheat that led to greater food production around the world and was calculated to have saved about 2 billion people from famine. But, Andrews argues, was it really Borlaug who saved the 2 billion people, or is this the result of the Butterfly Effect?
