Collaboration is supposed to fuel innovation, but what if too much of it is actually slowing you down?

This week on No More Mondays, Angie Callen talks with Neelu Kaur, organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and author of Be Your Own Cheerleader, about what she calls “the teamwork trap.”

From endless meetings that drain creativity to the hidden dangers of consensus culture, Neelu shares why over-collaboration can quietly kill your best ideas — and how leaders can help their teams (and themselves) find their voice again.

💡 In this episode:

  • The hidden cost of too many meetings

  • Why teamwork doesn’t always mean effectiveness

  • How self-advocacy and authenticity create healthier collaboration

  • The surprising power of pattern interrupters (like Neelu’s mantra: “I don’t think so.”)

If you’ve ever felt stuck in meeting overload, unheard in a team setting, or unsure how to speak up without rocking the boat, this episode will help you find the balance between collaboration and courage.
