Collaboration is a great buzz word – we all say we want to collaborate – but do we really know how? Most of us fail to realize that collaboration is actually skill-based, and research has shown that there are 5 skills required to effectively collaborate.
We all know people who make foolish decisions that are not collaborative because of pride and stubbornness, but your own lack of self-awareness gets in your way more than you realize, too.
In this talk, Dr. Laura Gallaher describes how to collaborate from the Inside Out© - teaching you how to recognize when you are getting in your own way, and what to do about it. Laura is an expert in the concepts of self-awareness, accountability, trust building and team cohesion.
Dr. Laura Gallaher is passionate about creating a world of self accountable individuals. She is an Organizational Psychologist, TEDx Speaker, Facilitator, and Executive Coach. She is the CEO of Gallaher Edge, which she founded in 2013.
Her noteworthy career began after the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded upon re-entry in 2003, killing everybody aboard. Following the tragedy, NASA hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the accident. She worked for 8 years to positively influence culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center.
Laura is a dynamic speaker, story-teller, and facilitator who loves to help leaders experience themselves differently so they can walk through the world more connected, courageous, and clear.
