In this episode of The Mind Takeaway podcast, we bring you part two of our special recordings from TXL Berlin, situated on the site of the former Tegel Airport. As we reminisce about our travels through Tegel Airport, now the site of one of the biggest European urban development projects, we explore scaling collaboration within groups, teams, communities, and organisations.

We explore the challenges and opportunities of scaling collaboration, especially in the context of sustainability and impact-driven initiatives. We discuss the importance of time, structure, and discipline in facilitating effective collaboration at scale, respecting each other's time, maintaining a flexible agenda, and the critical role of a facilitator in guiding the whole process.

We also discuss the significance of asking for help and leveraging diverse skill sets within a community to achieve common goals. The conversation extends to the global stage, examining the dynamics of collaboration between countries and the need for healing and letting go of egos to move forward sustainably.
