Ep 2 - How to Grow Your Collaboration Muscles, with Nazanin Jenkin
How to Grow Your Collaboration Muscles
Meet Nazanin Jenkin, Collaborations and Partnerships Strategist
Nazanin Jenkin couldn’t believe it when her big idea was featured alongside Jacinda Ardern in Vision Week 2020. But it should come as no surprise to you if you’ve been following her work on cross-sector collaboration.
She is a fierce advocate for moving collaboration beyond a buzzword. And she has the practical experience to back this up. She began her working life in engineering - thrown into the deep end of bringing diverse views together to make change.
Now, Nasi (as her friends call her), knows that complex doesn't have to be complicated - but that takes effort and experience. If you want to build your collaboration muscles, and move collaboration beyond a buzzword, Nasi is your go-to consultant.
You can connect with Nasi on LinkedIn or https://www.nazaninjenkin.com/.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
The reason why most collaboration is doomed to be nothing but a buzzword (and what you can do to prevent that)
What are the steps you can take to build your collaboration muscles
How and when slowing down can speed you up
Why it is so important to acknowledge the past when envisioning the future.
