Mastering Mindsets for Collaboration

Collaboration is MORE than just working together; it's about creating an alchemical blend of diverse perspectives and talents that elevates our collective intelligence. There are loads of tools out there for getting into collaboration, but if you don’t have the right mindset nothing is going to happen.

If having information got results, everyone would have results, right now.

It’s having the mindset, the support and the community that will make the difference.

Join us for an engaging session with Annette Bramley, Executive Director of the N8 Research Partnership and co-author of the book Research Collaboration: a step by step guide to success, to explore the fascinating world of mindsets for collaboration.

From the curiosity of Leonardo da Vinci to the ingenuity of Grace Hopper, we’ll draw inspiration from great pioneers from diverse fields. Escape the insidious clutches of ego, fear, scarcity and fixed thinking and discover how to create an environment that fosters trust, empathy, and psychological safety—essential ingredients for effective collaboration.

Get ready to change the way you think, collaborate, and thrive in today's interconnected world.

About Dr Annette Bramley

Since 2018 Annette has been the very driven and inspiring Director and ‘Chief Collaboration Officer’ of the N8 Research Partnership- the strongest university research alliance in the UK.

As one of the UK's foremost experts in research culture she has become a regular, compelling and in demand speaker on the subject.

A graduate of Oxford University where she achieved a first class degree and D.Phil in Materials Science, her particular niche is bringing people from different backgrounds to work together on research that has a tangible, genuine and long-lasting impact on the world. It’s fair to say N8’s successes in this arena are both as fascinating as they are many.

For over 20 years now she’s guided scientists and engineers of all disciplines at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (part of UK Research and Innovation) with great skill, inclusivity and creativity.

The linked in recommendations available here https://bit.ly/3lUKPK6 go some way to explaining how one unique input has helped make so many people and projects successful.

When not excelling in her profession Annette is also a gifted artist in the medium of embroidery and acrylic and again to the highest accolade. She holds the Certificate in Technical Hand Embroidery from the Royal School of Needlework with Distinction and has exhibited countrywide.

As if all that isn’t impressive enough – her current side hustle is studying for a Professional Diploma in Group Sound Therapy.
