#19 Stephani Roy McCallum - Collaboration and Leadership
Introduction
In this episode, we talk through insights into effective collaboration and how our leadership within both collaboration and hard, emotional conversations should be how we all show up in these spaces.
Often, we involve people in our process with the aim of achieving something, of getting to a ‘result’. My conversation with Chief Storm Rider Stephani Roy-McCallum points to a more effective approach; one where people come first, and the issue comes second.
Stephani is an expert in creating space where people can build the relationships that lead to trust and then results and solutions.
During this episode we discuss:
- Getting to know Stephani
- People’s motivation to collaboration
- An exploration of the meaning of collaboration
- Getting the right people in the room
- Leadership in collaboration
- Facilitating vs. Leadership
- Defining courage
