I’m thinking about people who work well with others, who are collaborators and achieve new things beyond individual excellence through creative and professional partnerships.

It’s deeper than just working together. It’s about transformation and creating something bigger than you could have done alone—the ability, even the magic, of bringing out the best in each other where Individual minds and hearts meet. It’s a skill and an art.

Mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne and dramatic coloratura-soprano Dame Joan Sutherland had highly successful international solo opera careers, but together, they exploded in duets with their voices and skills in profound, revolutionary ways. Thrilling the world. The collaboration was extraordinary. They honored and heightened each other.

The Huntley–Brinkley Report was an American television program broadcast by NBC and anchored by Chet Huntley in New York City and David Brinkley in Washington, D.C. They thrived together.  And their audience loved their collaboration and contributions.

Ballet dancers Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev transformed ballet. Made physical and emotional dance history.

Interviewers such as Barbara Walters and Oprah connected with hundreds of specific people, creating trust and a safe space for people to talk and express themselves openly.

Scientists Marie and Pierre Curie. Working to discover new things and improve people’s lives and the world’s welfare.

Editors and authors collaborate.

Agents and managers work with all kinds of different creatives.

A conductor leads and joins with an orchestra or chorus.

Podcasters, inventors, teachers, and athletes. People are individual, but they are also interconnected with others, separate and together.

– What does collaboration have to do with meeting and increasing human potential in others and yourself?

– What makes for the remarkable collaboration compared to the very fine individual results?

– Who do you become when you collaborate with another?

– What collaborations of note come to mind for you?

– Where do you have a collaboration you respect and love?
