“Finally! A course that provides a proper framework and solid foundation for the work so many of us do on a day-to-day basis - build partnerships that matter and can lead to truly transformational change. Partnership Brokerage training encouraged me to be more intentional and focused about the relationships I’m exploring to form potential partnerships, and refreshingly confirmed that not every relationship has to be a partnership - and that’s okay. The training provided concrete tools for overcoming common partnering challenges; tools I’ve already started applying.”
