Reflection: 
Collaborative leadership involves working together with others to achieve a common goal. As a team, it is essential to understand and embrace the responsibilities that come along with being a part of that team, working together to create this podcast taught us a lot about collaboration, and how hard it can be to coordinate 4 different trains of thought. Through this experience, I feel we learned the importance of communication, especially active and intentional listening, it was interesting to just sit back and see what some of my team members had to say about real world issues. I feel as though as a team we were able to foster an environment of trust and respect, where everyone felt comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas no matter how outlandish.

The experience of directing and creating a podcast allowed me to develop my skills as a collaborator. I learned how to delegate tasks effectively, set clear expectations, and encourage and further develop team member's ideas. This process involved recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and finding ways to leverage different team members skills to complete the task at hand most efficiently. Overall, I believe the experience was a valuable addition to my skillset as a business professional.
