Is it possible to collaborate and work together when you disagree? Short answer: Yes, but that doesn't mean it's easy. This week on the blog, we hear from our very own Gilmara Vila Nova-Mitchell as we begin our Month of Elephants, committed to bringing you insight on and conversations about the work of "freeing elephants" and addressing avoidance all October. A sneak peak from today: "How often do you see someone willing to have their beliefs and ideas challenged by what others think? It is not possible to have the answers for the problems we are facing today based on our single narrow perspective. We are a lot more likely to find those answers by admitting we don't know everything and that we can't struggle alone anymore. Today's challenges are way too complex and require collective perspectives, but letting go of our certainty and expecting ourselves to be confused as we search for answers isn't easy. We are often uncomfortable admitting we don't know. Many of us prefer to sound certain and confident, stating our opinions as if it were true—a path that doesn't always serve us."
