Team·work: /ˈtēmˌwərk/ (noun): the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.

On the water, teamwork is everything. Rowing together in perfect synchronicity takes shared drive and determination, seamless communication, and a willingness to work together towards a common goal.

But let’s be honest — you don’t have to be an athlete to know the value of a good team. Whether you’re a parent, friend, coworker or neighbor, chances are, you know what a significant difference teamwork can make.

This month, we’re taking a closer look at what it means to be a part of a team, and the profound impact that teamwork has on each of us — how it propels us forward, makes us stronger, and enriches our lives.

Keep watching this space for more updates, features and stories throughout the month, as well as opportunities to share your own stories and experiences with the teams in your own life.
