    I've been in several networking meetings, and one question that often comes up is: "How can we collaborate together?" However, in order to do so, we need to think in advance about what we are actually good at. What sets us apart? In my case, I'm a very strategic person. I enjoy understanding problems and solving them, simple as that! What about you???

    Empathy probably. It's a very underrated ability. It helped me through out my years as a journalist, as a podcaster, a copywriter, a marketer, a project manager. The best thing that empathy boosts is your ability to ask questions, I think. Asking questions is how you can collaborate, imo. Other stuff: I think I'm pretty solid at nurturing relationships. Reaching out, connecting to people is one thing but checking on them is what prolongs these connections, I think. It can be a difference maker personally and professionally, too. Feels like someone cares about you, even when you don't talk to them for a while. Why I mention this besides empathy is that some people just don't make that extra effort.

    @geri_mate, loving this response! Empathy will lead to asking questions and being open to every answer as well. It's about understanding where the other person is coming from and how to find common ground, right? I can tell you are great at nurturing relationships virtually. I'm sure you are a great leader!

    @emilia_vicini Exactly! And empathy also encourages others to ask questions and to not hesitate about looking stupid. Very important in a team setting. I often ask stupid questions and I do feel stupid but because I'm being open about it nobody else makes me feel stupid, rather curious. So when I'm reaching common ground with someone about a task or something I'm not familiar with, I conclude our conversation with a question in my own words if my interpretation is right. Makes communication a lot more efficient and collaboration a lot less prone to errors

    @ixord you bring up a big topic! As founders, we tend to do so many things, but eventually, we need to understand what we are really good at and find people who can cover the rest! What language do you enjoy using the most?
