What do the best collaborators do that others do not?


The Human Side of Effective Collaboration focuses on three core practices that separate ‘super-collaborators’ from others: first, they are crystal clear on the results they want to get out of collaboration. Second, they consciously choose to embrace mindsets about the other person that will prime them to act in ways to get to those results, and, finally, they engage in productive behaviours like seeking information, zooming out to big picture goals, and remaining calm.


Using practical examples, interactive polling and an application exercise anchored to a real interaction, The Human Side of Effective Collaboration helps participants learn and apply the mindsets and behaviours of effective collaborators to drive outsized results – and experience less frustration and angst in the process.


They will get a first-hand understanding of how these shifts will improve their outcomes when working with others, learn practical techniques for accessing a productive mindset when triggered, and leave with a plan to do one thing differently moving forward.

Participants will learn:

  • What the best collaborators do that others do not
  • Three core practices for improving their outcomes from collaboration across organizational or personal tensions
  • A structured framework for clarifying the desired results of collaborative conversations
  • How to use curiosity and generosity as mindset shifts that enable more productive behaviours in collaborative situations
  • How to apply a practical three-step model to plan for upcoming conversations
