Partnerships grow our reach and impact

We have all heard the saying, we cannot go it alone, but what does that really mean? As a leader sometimes it seems easier to figure it out on our own, do things on our own, and not ask for help. However, we are only one person. We cannot have all the skills, talents, time, resources, energy, or bandwidth to do all things for all people all the time. Partnerships and building relationships is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I love connecting with people, hearing their why, seeing what lights them on fire, seeing any potential supports or connections that I can offer, and see if there are any potential options for partnerships.

Have you ever had a strong partnership within your role or your organization? What about it made it successful? Were you aligned? Did it bring elevation to your messaging, brand, services, etc? Did it make the activity, service, event, etc more enjoyable? I am a firm believer that when you have the right partners and collaborators at the table, it makes a world of difference. It can allow you to plan a new event, service offering, offer something complimentary to your clients, co-write a grant, I mean the possibilities truly are endless.

When thinking of what potential partners you could bring to the table (this can be for both for profit and nonprofit agencies). Here are some ideas to consider:

1) What values align for your organization (mission, vision, guiding principles)

2) How do your services compliment one another (not compete)?

3) Why would you want to work with them (and vice versa)?

4) What benefit could this partnership bring?

5) What do we need to have in writing to protect both parties (expectations, goals, cancellation clauses, any financial ties/splits, etc)

Partnerships are a great way to increase your impact, build some business/leadership besties along the way, and walk alongside people that are going places too.

Partnerships worth a highlight

1) If you are a mission driven entrepreneur/business leader, check out “Soul Nourished Success” the up and coming group mastermind to help you scale without the burnout, in an authentic and aligned way, to maximize your iumpact and your income. Get on the waiting list for more info for our events that will begin later this month leading to our kick off in June (also where you will hear the specials that will come out too). Dominique and I are bringing the heat!

2) Catch the replay of “Sipping Tea with Sabrina” where we discussed this very topic today, so many good nuggets on partnerships!

3) If you are local to the DFW area (or willing to travel in), I am partnering with another powerhouse entrepreneur Rondregus Underwood to bring this amazing conference called “Tapping Into Your Highest Purpose” combining education, inspiration, and tangible tips/tools to move you into action. I will be the opening keynote about taking vision into action. Rondregus will be discussing turning pain into purpose AND SO MUCH MORE! 15% of profits from the conference will be donated back to Heart Profit!
