We’ve reached a rewarding milestone as a firm.

The secrets are Appreciate, Attend, Allow, Believe, and Grow. It’s essential to spend extra time on the fifth secret — Grow. Growing is something we’re very focused on as a firm. And it’s not just about becoming bigger. We’re talking about expanding our level of influence around the world. In 2024, we plan to open a new office in London. This idea of growth is fulfilling because we can make a positive difference in the lives of those experiencing family conflict. By dedicating ourselves to building Go-Giver Relationships, we focus on the steps each of us can take to create better bonds.

To build strong relationships, you have to be strong individually. The Manns say we should identify what we need to be happy and fulfilled and give ourselves that. By dreaming that bigger dream for yourself, you will have more to offer to others. The more we have individually, the more we have to offer. We believe in personal growth, emotional development, and social-emotional development. We engage in at least two firm-wide training programs every year to build stronger emotional skills that we can model for families facing conflict and stress. Growth doesn’t have to be returning to school or enrolling in training. It can also be developing your routines for mindfulness, fitness, and an improved diet, or creating a better place for yourself aesthetically. It can also mean being honest about what you want to elevate your spirit and experience in life and giving yourself permission for that. The Manns emphasize that these habits aren’t just something to know. They encourage people to spend an hour practicing who they want to become every day. As they say, love is a verb. Success begins with dedicating yourself. When one person commits to taking these steps and models them, the relationship improves, whether or not the other person consciously realizes it.
