Hello!
Summer is in full swing here in Colorado and for us that means fresh garden greens, getting to do visual recorder work outside, and river time. Last week we took a rafting trip in Hells Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America.
There's a phrase I love to use while rafting that applies to this week's Business Buzzword Sketch (and no, it's not "Oh sh*t, hold on!"). On river trips and in organizations, success depends not just on the actions of the Trip Leader or the CEO.
If only one person is responsible for making sure every meal is cooked, or all the water is filtered, or that you're communicating effectively internally as an organization, that's a recipe for disaster. But if everyone chips in and unique skill sets are utilized, well, that's when I love to use the phrase Teamwork Makes the Dream Work.
Cheesy? Yes. But totally true, and rhymes, like doodles, tend to stick.
It's how the group works together that makes or breaks businesses, diverse research groups, and river trips alike .
So this week's Business Buzzword doodle is all about Collaboration.
Ready to give it a go?
Now I want to hear from you!
Come on over to the blog and upload your drawing in the comments section to share your unique style and inspire the community!
Is there a time when competition or working solo just didn't work? How did Collaborating help you out?
What variations did you come up with? How are you using this Sketch? And of course, any questions, epiphanies, and requests for future ConverSKETCHes!
Where in the World is ConverSketch?
That's me in the green helmet rowing through a Class IV rapid in Hells Canyon! Collaboration is in play here as well -- without my good friend Zach up front to keep weight balanced on the boat, I might not have been able to punch through that big ol' wave. Thanks Zach!
