Tricia Cerrone

There hasn't been a lot of focus necessarily on developing what character looks like or what morality looks like in the workplace or doing the right thing or virtue even. It's like almost sounds old fashioned. Once you get into the workplace, we see each other and we're working with each other, and it's a very external thing. It's, oh, I need this report, so I'm going to do this report.

Oh, I need to serve this salad, so I'm making this salad. I need to build a construction project. It's all very external. We can get caught up in thinking that life is external. So much of what we experience is very internal. I think we've lost sight that leadership is an inside game and collaboration is an inside game and nothing changes outside until we change inside.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, I just want to emphasize what Edward just said, because we're both designers. And so we're like, how do you design collaboration onto a team? But what he just said is a truth that companies, they're designed, their structures are designed not necessarily to support collaboration or to reward teams. They reward individuals.

I'll jump in now. I'm Trisha Cerrone and my history really goes back, my entire career has been one of designing and telling stories with new technologies. I think pretty much every project I've ever done had some kind of either new hardware or software or experience that we were trying to create.

And in doing that, working a lot in the interactive world, it led me to Disney, where I spent most of my career. I had an amazing career at Disney, and I really got to do everything I wanted to do. My sweet spot was always in innovation and coming up with new ideas.

I was able to lead our Blue Sky studio for four years and just come up with ideas with the teams there for retail and brides and restaurants and all sorts of things, and I really loved it. But I also was really good at teaching other people how to develop ideas and design and innovate.

That's what led me in my career to start doing a lot of the talent development, which my leader then hooked me up with Edward down the road. And that's really how we ended up meeting.

my side of the story. I get invited to a meeting in my leader's office and Edward is sitting on the sofa and I'm asked to sit next to him. And then our leader says, we have this initiative. I want you to collaborate. And he's grinning like it was the best idea he ever came up with. And in my mind, I'm sitting there going, What just happened? There's so many problems with this.
