Daily Question, January 15

When has collaborating with others made something better?

  • Lee Jones

    Being a parents and the challenges that it brings. Working together through differences, appreciating the others perspective while offering your view and being able to compromise.

  • Kevin

    Collaborating with others almost always makes everything better. I say “almost,” because there are some tasks and projects that are just easier if tackled alone. Besides, when it comes to cleaning the cat box, doing “poop patrol” picking up after our dog in the backyard, or unplugging the toilet when the grandkids are over, nobody else in this house has ever said, “Hey Kevin, let me help you with that?”

    I had recently collaborated with family members to do a Zoom meeting during the holidays. It went well and everyone was glad we did that as a family. My one side has zoomed weekly for months, the other side we’ve done it twice. Time for a new email:) Happy Friday ya’ll:)

    Work is better when I collaborate with my team. It's easier for all of us when we work together to get our tasks done efficiently. And for just myself workwise, I have recently asked for help from a Team Leader at another store close by since my own TL will be on leave soon. Reaching out for the guidance and backup has already made me feel more confident in running my department when his leave starts. Collaborating with my fiance has made life in general better, too! He is my partner, my best...

    Work is better when I collaborate with my team. It’s easier for all of us when we work together to get our tasks done efficiently. And for just myself workwise, I have recently asked for help from a Team Leader at another store close by since my own TL will be on leave soon. Reaching out for the guidance and backup has already made me feel more confident in running my department when his leave starts.

    Collaborating with my fiance has made life in general better, too! He is my partner, my best friend, and I have never felt so safe, so loved, and so in tune with another human being. It’s one of the greatest gifts God has given me.

    I have had the great good fortune to live in several intentional communities and all of these experiences were highly collaborative efforts. In each the challenges of compromise and vulnerability accompanying handing over trust and the abdication of control to a group wasn’t easy or natural for me. Yet the benefits always outweighed any discomfort. Our illusion of proprietorship is overreaching way beyond its natural boundaries. Everything is mutually dependent. This is all partnership. We are...

    I have had the great good fortune to live in several intentional communities and all of these experiences were highly collaborative efforts. In each the challenges of compromise and vulnerability accompanying handing over trust and the abdication of control to a group wasn’t easy or natural for me. Yet the benefits always outweighed any discomfort. Our illusion of proprietorship is overreaching way beyond its natural boundaries. Everything is mutually dependent. This is all partnership. We are accountable for our role to be sure. Success is dependent on good faith, pure intentions and a desire to build connections and not break them.

    In so many things, the Parish News I edit is nothing without the community input. The business, community group I run is nothing without its members, I am nothing without my family and friends, life is better shared.

    When I recently joined a hiking club. We plan where to hike-walk and during the pandemic hiking has been a sanity saver

    • Trish

      Pam, without hiking during the pandemic it’s possible I would’ve lost my mind. Yay for strong legs & beautiful trails!!
