COLLABORATION

I love collaborating because it brings together different perspectives, ideas, and strengths to create something greater than what any one person could have achieved on their own. Thinking outside the box after all is facilitated by several boxes appearing in a room and approaching a challenge from different angles. Working with others inspires creativity, encourages growth, and helps gain insights from new perspectives.

Collaboration has taught me to ask better questions, listen actively, build stronger relationships and communicate better. I especially enjoy collaborating in interdisciplinary teams and enjoy the sense of shared accomplishment and the energy that comes from working toward a common goal with a team. It also allows me to share my strengths rather than having to waist time on the things I don’t enjoy nor are good at.
