LESSONS LEARNED ABOUT CREATIVE COLLABORATION

• Commitment

See projects through and meet all deadlines while honoring client needs and wishes.

• Communication

Everyone must be heard. Clarity saves a lot of time and needless frustration.

• Focus

Help each project shine in its own way, without imposing a personal agenda.

• Mutual Respect

Maintain awareness that clients and collaborators each contribute something of value. So do audiences.

• Win-Win, or Win-Win-Win!

Set collaborators and clients up for success, and don’t leave yourself out. Mutually beneficial work situations are healthy and more likely to sustain beyond one project.
