Collaboration and why this is important

Collaboration is all about working as part of a collective unit where there are shared goals and room for flexibility to accomodate.

It asks the question of who skills work best in which area of the goal. It involves being a supporter of your team when they are unsure. 

Collaboration for me allows the space for inclusivity and diversity; therefore making for rich experiences.
