Hard problems require collaboration. But collaboration is hard! In this episode, Nancy and Sarah share some tips on how to think about collaboration and position yourself to build strong collaborations. They talk about starting small, building trust, and taking time to shape a relationship that will hold your shared work into the long run.
Questions to reflect on before you listen:
Name a collaboration that you are a part of. How it is going? Does it bring you strength or drag you down?
Discussion questions:
- What resonated with you about this conversation? What would you like to take back to your organization?
- What collaboration do you wish you had? What is holding you back from moving it forward?
- What collaborations do you see in your community that are working? What makes them work?
