Cultivating collaboration over competition is essential in today's interconnected world. We don't exist in a vacuum; our social understanding and discernment must be engaged collectively. The spaces we inhabit, like social media platforms, exert significant influence on our interactions, sometimes more than our intentions to be collaborative versus competitive. The Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, is structured around a corporate discernment process rather than dogma. I’ve found “Quaker process” offers valuable support and guidance for fostering collaboration, emphasizing collective decision-making over individualistic competition.

In this episode I share insights from my personal struggles and inspirations around cultivating collaboration over competition in the spaces I occupy.

Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

  • Social media influencer soundbites
  • Finding the answers that aren’t inside you 
  • Organizational problem solving
  • Slowing down and making space
