Collaboration Workouts
These workouts emphasize “collaboration muscle” awareness, development, and habit-building through repetition. They can be performed both face-to-face or remotely. The more regularly and often you do them, the more likely you are to embody the lessons from these exercises, to apply them without having to think about them.
