No matter how capable and creative we may be, it’s when we collaborate that the interplay of our diverse skills and expertise creates something altogether greater. After all TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More.
Collaboration
Reflective Questions
- Are you comfortable with the role you usually take within a team? Would you like to try something different? If so, what would that look like?
- Reflect on a challenging collaborative experience. How did the group overcome the challenges?
- How can you bring more collaboration into your daily life – whether at work, in your community, or in your personal relationships?
Affirmations
- I recognise the unique strengths each of us brings.
- I am a positive and supportive team player.
- I trust in the collective wisdom of the group.
Actionable Ideas
- When collaborating, check your motives. Are you wanting to be the best on the team or be the best for the team? Shift from ego to self-respect.
- Hold regular check-ins and updates; share achievements, discuss obstacles, and ask for help if needed.
- When there are disagreements, remind the team of the bigger picture and the shared vision.
