Description: We live in a world where “connections” are made with a click, but real collaboration takes more than a follow and a like. How do we build relationships that actually last?In this episode, I sit down with Tricia Cerrone and Edward J. van Luinen, two former Disney colleagues who turned workplace synergy into a decade-long friendship and a thriving business partnership. Now, they’re co-authoring a book to help others master the art of collaboration.In Part Two, we’ll break down their framework—five key behaviors and a “noble purpose” approach that makes teamwork more than just a buzzword.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Emotional Banking: The Secret to Long-Lasting Work Relationships“Relationships at work thrive on trust, respect, and mutual goals. By making consistent positive deposits into the ‘emotional bank,’ teams can evolve into high-performing units. Delivering results is key, but so is showing up for each other and building something lasting, as Trish and I found over a three-year project.”Collaboration Isn’t Just Tools—It’s Human Connection“The business world is spending almost $40 billion on collaboration tools, which are a band-aid for our failures to communicate. If you don’t have the human behaviours of generosity, resourcefulness, co-creation, action, and gratitude, no technology is going to help your team be happy or collaborate better.”Be the Change You Seek—Gandhi’s Wisdom for Collaboration“There’s a great quote by Gandhi: ‘Create the change you want to be.’ That’s the foundation of our collaboration model—being the change and the leader your team is asking you to be.”_____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guests: Tricia Cerrone and Edward J.
