The Joys and Benefits of Meaningful Collaboration

There is a myth that exists that we can do it all on our own and that success is the result of our singular dedicated efforts. Nothing can be further from the truth. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with amazing women.

It all started with a conversation my uber talented Coach, Krista Smith https://activateherawesome.com/ about how I wanted to reach out and collaborate with women who had similar interests. I recognized that I needed to build new relationships and expand my connections. Simply put, I needed to increase exposure to my art and specifically to my exclusive silk scarves to a wider audience. As a result, two amazing women Sandra Drover at https://phitcetera.com/ and Kelly Valentine at https://sageandsweetgrass.ca/ were as keen to collaborate as I was. 

On April 15, I had the opportunity to participate in Sandra’s Customer Appreciation Day, where I demonstrated the art of silk painting and displayed my scarves in the shop (Sandra has included some of my silk scarves on her website Shop Accessories at PHITCetera.com | Halifax Sustainable Lifestyle Wear 

Kelly will be at the Halifax Waterfront May 23 -30 with a pop-up shop. She will be featuring her amazing skin care line, as well as some of my silk scarves and silk sculptures. You can follow her on Instagram @thesageandsweetgrass.ca to check out the latest. 

I know that it takes time to build a brand, expand reach and make new connections. It is so much easier and more joyful to walk this path with other like-minded women. Collaborating is in our nature. Give it a try, reach out and ask for help – it’s worth it.
