On this post, one consideration I feel like chipping in with: I remember a seminar with great facilitators (your colleague Ana was there with me, in Denmark) and one of the hosts shared a story of a conflict. There was a tension between a team of hosts and their client. One of the hosts got extremely frustrated and had to rely on their partners to hold his emotions. That really spoke to the essence of working in teams where these emotions can be held and channeled in a safe way. Nice blog! Cheers, Marco Hi there! thanks for the follow on twitter.

Adapted a novel for the screen with its novelist. Created an anthology with a fellow editor. Everything you mention above is true, and working with the right person makes work a true joy. One thing I enjoyed most about partnership was energy that bounced off the work as we passed it back and forth, reinspiring us, and giving us fresh motivation to take it further. Plenty of times if I had been on my own I would have taken it to a point, and let it rest. With a partner there's no resting period for the work even if there is for you. However I've also gained most of these same benefits from working with a mentor, a coach, workshops, and mastermind buddies (with varying degrees of dedication and comprehension).
