We are all asked to collaborate with others as part of our work, but it can be ineffective, slow and sometimes you end up worse off because of it. But what if I told you that you aren’t bad at it, but that you may not have been properly trained in it (if you even were).
Luckily, to make the challenge of collaboration seem as easy it sounds, we are joined by the amazing Dr Rebecca Sutherns. Dr. Rebecca Sutherns is a practical and dynamic speaker, facilitator and trusted advisor. She is also a bestselling author, whose insight is grounded in over 25 years of experience helping networks, organizations and individuals reimagine their next chapter with clarity and energy.
She and Danette chat about why collaboration is so hard, how we can all get better, and what bad collaboration looks like.
