Radically Rethinking Collaboration
About
This workshop will turn our initial understanding of collaboration on its head and do a deep dive into the reality of conflict.
Borrowing from Adam Kahane's ground-breaking work we will explore why, in so many of our cases with little trust and goodwill, we need to abandon the expectation of a harmonious team, shared interests and values, and getting on the same page. Instead we need to embrace and expect difference, employ both power and love, experiment our way forward, and focus on what we can do rather than why they need to change.
Victoria has presented this groundbreaking workshop with Victoria has presented this groundbreaking workshop with Nancy Cameron, a lawyer, writer and educator, to various groups in Canada and the US.
