I believe that more listening and less talk makes wonders happen. There's so much beauty in genuine active listening. It's often the key to reaching mutual understanding and successful collaboration. I also believe that collaboration and creativity are skills that can be practiced and learned. 

 

A big Google research summarized that the most successful teams are not the ones built with specific personality types, talent, or backgrounds. It's the teams who work well together that thrive. The "who" doesn't matter as much as how the team members interact with one another. I teach the "how" so the "who" can make great things happen together. 

 

To get the best results in teaching collaboration, communication, and creativity skills, I use applied improvisation as the method. It works wonders in creating a supportive and safe atmosphere where participants can practice these vital skills hands-on.
