Description:In this episode of the Gift of Need, Jude welcomes back her friend and longtime collaborator Linda Bale. Together, they explore how understanding personality differences and collaborating with others can help us meet the needs of those around us. From personal growth to creative projects, they share stories and insights on why we need each other to go farther and achieve more.

We talk about:• How basic personalities influence collaboration and why they don’t fundamentally change• Introvert vs. extrovert traits and the role of thinking vs. feeling in teamwork• The importance of trust, communication, and emotional intelligence in collaboration• Famous examples of collaboration that created extraordinary results (e.g., Paul McCartney & John Lennon, Georgia O’Keeffe & Alfred Stieglitz, Ben & Jerry)• Personal stories of collaboration, including school projects, HOA leadership, and musical partnerships• How acknowledging needs and gifts in ourselves and others leads to mutual support and growth
