Common Experience and Connection
The identification of common experience with others, individually or as a group, provides many benefits, both personal and professional. It is something that humanizes and strengthens understanding. It can also bolster and energize team, organization, and association cohesiveness, cooperation, and collaboration. Adversity, when commonly held, can also expand our community and often accelerate action towards common goals.
