The Bumpy Road to Collaboration

This book is the fruit of my transformation and the integration of two passions: creative expression and self-discovery.


This book doesn’t address all the complexities of working with others. I chose the angle of reflection that I knew best: how the ego’s hot buttons* get in the way of collaboration and how to break free.


I believe that since life is inevitably bumpy, learning to overcome our hot buttons is key in creating constructive relationships at work, at home and in our communities. As fallible as I am, I’m wholeheartedly committed to this process!


I hope this book will ignite self-reflections and authentic conversations, provide levity, and inspire rich emotional connections.


Finally, This book is especially for:


◆ People who, like myself, passionately love

collaboration, yet consistently botch it up.

◆ People who enthusiastically read self-help books,

yet have trouble finishing them.

◆ People who strongly believe in the power of self-awareness, yet forget to use it.
