"The world is crying out for us to collaborate on the complex challenges we are facing. But, in the reality of getting things done, working with others is often harder than we hope. I am a lifelong collaborator and founded Let’s Go to offer sensible thinking and practical tools to leaders and organisations who want to make collaboration work. Our approach has been built in collaboration from practical experience - and with insights from psychology, the arts, design thinking and personal development. It all starts with unlocking the right conversations."
