Collaboration

Thriving Women Artists
About this episode

The topic of discussion is collaboration this week on Thriving Women Artists. Join Ping, Sarah, and Dorien as they collaborate to share their knowledge with you. Find out what a collaboration is, the different forms, advantages and disadvantages, their own experiences, and important things to keep in mind.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Collaboration is working together on a shared goal.
  • If there is only one person working on a project there is only one point of view and all the work is on one person. In a collaboration you share the workload and get a wider set of ideas to bring to the project. Everyone has their own personality and strengths, a good team utilises that. 
  • Collaboration can also be a good way to save your time so you can focus your attention on something that will make you money. For example if it will take you a long time to build your own website, you can pay someone else to do it. Your time is then free for other things and your collaboration brings in someone with skills you don't have. 
  •  Sometimes you need to be confident in yourself and your abilities to be part of a good collaboration. 
  • In a collaboration it's important to get input for everyone involved. Welcome new ideas and make people feel valued. 




BEST MOMENTS

‘You share the responsibility so it makes it less stressful' 

‘You need to know the right people to work together' 

‘I felt scared because it would be a big commitment'
