Sylvia Dolena presents “Boundless Collaboration: Conversation + Contribution + Teamwork = Innovation” on Friday, Oct. 14. Part of Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center’s “Teamwork, Leadership, and Preparing for the New Economy” training series, the free workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, UCB 127, 200 W. Kawili Street, Hilo.

“Practice a high-performance collaboration process that can be used in large complex projects as well as in small groups,” says Dolena. “Learn key principles that lead to successful results while valuing the contributions of each person.”

For teams and individuals who must get results through others, participants will learn a high-value conversation method, develop a win-together framework, resolve issues and obstacles quickly, and achieve innovation.
