In this 9-minute podcast, author and consultant Doug Miller shows us how to have a whole life perspective, applying the same personal principles to every aspect of our lives.

Collaboration at Work

Problem solving and innovative thinking

Collaboration is how many new ideas, opportunities and solutions are discovered. Exciting possibilities emerge through the mutual sharing of understanding, problems and knowledge, in a small group of open-minded individuals. Collaboration achieves results which wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Suited to hybrid working scenarios, often when contributors belong to different teams and work in other departments and even countries, collaborative working enables fresh ideas to emerge, different perspectives to be understood and better value to be created. In this Sound Advice podcast author, trainer and consultant Doug Miller explains what collaboration really is and gives you practical ideas for trying out this rewarding approach for yourself.
