The Hard Craft of Collaboration
Rich Watkins
Founder, TEDx Speaker, exec educator
Come with a real collaboration challenge. Leave with a clear forward plan.
A lot of collaboration advice (listen to everyone, be nice) sounds good, but evaporates on contact with the messy reality of real work. Getting things done with people is a hard craft not a "soft" skill. So what actually works?
This workshop gives you a tried-and-tested framework to see what's really happening in any collaboration - to see the dynamics that underpin collective performance - and find the actions and conversations that will get things moving.
You will leave with:
A powerful framework for collaboration - to clearly see the five forces shaping success
A practical way forward for a real situation you're dealing with right now
A coaching approach you can use to reliably unstick others - your reports, your peers, or anyone who comes to you for help
A clearer picture of your own collaboration habits - your superpower and your blind spots
This workshop is new to Maven but has been run with over 10,000 leaders - from start-ups to non-profits to global teams at the world's biggest corporates.

Scrum Master, NatWest GroupRich came in to help us find a common framework and language for collaboration within an already high performing leadership team - the sessions were very insightful, the whole team found in useful and we continue to use the language and structure to move us all forward faster. I would HIGHLY recommend.
Katie Martin
EVP & Managing Director, Front RowI had the pleasure of working with Rich as part of a leadership team development and coaching program at Discovery Networks. I found Rich to be adaptable to individual leadership needs and was particularly impressed by his ability to quickly understand business context and the quality of his coaching questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Rich for similar programs.
