The Partnership Strategy Intensive is comprised of four distinct phases:
PHASE ONE
PARTNERSHIP AUDIT
We kick off the program with a virtual training session to introduce you to the Value-Base Partnership Principles© and the 3 Critical Criteria every partnership must have to be successful. We review the components of the VBP Audit Tools and prepare you to complete your partnership audit prior to the in person intensive.
PHASE TWO
INTENSIVE TRAINING
The in-person training workshop is designed to be educational, with an emphasis on consultation feedback. We focus on helping you address your toughest partnership questions that arise during the audit, including: building new partnerships, partnership performance, dissolving partnerships, or obtaining additional resources
PHASE THREE
PARTNER TRAINING
This is where we engage your partner network to create a common understanding and shared language; providing an important foundation for your ongoing partnerships. This jam-packed webinar provides them with the basics of the VBP Principles, at no added cost for you, or them. Invite your internal executive team and board members and the teams of each of your partners.
PHASE FOUR
PARTNER REVIEW
Until now, your partners have been put under the microscope. It’s time for you to reach out to your partners to check-in about their perceptions of the partnership. We give you the tools you need to facilitate meaningful conversations with your highest priority partners, to determine if you’re on track to success.
WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING:
“I signed up for this workshop because I was looking for assistance with strategic planning around the dramatic business growth my company had been experiencing. The workshop was a powerful and productive exercise that helped me gain greater clarity around my goals and objectives and helped me develop a plan of action for moving forward. Enette is a brilliant planner with an extensive range of tools for examining and troubleshooting any challenge and I greatly appreciate her guidance and insights in my own journey to excellence.”
Wake Up Your Wealth,
Program Participant“Thank you Enette for giving me the opportunity to go deeper into my conscious and soul and awaken what I really love and dream. I believe in Dreaming Big and tell the word about it- but how can I get paid for it?! … I got many ideas and thought provoking questions to work on! I absolutely loved meeting everyone and connecting with such powerful group of participants.”
Wake Up Your Wealth,
Program Participant“When I heard about this program, I knew I was meant to be there. It was thought provoking, and stimulating, and in a very gentle, fun and interactive way, the program helped me distill my 'Big Cause' in a way that felt more natural to me, as if spoken by my heart, than other methods I had previously experienced. The goals and next steps to support my Big Cause are, in my opinion, the easy part now. I also enjoyed meeting 'and making new family members' with amazing participants. Thank you, Enette, for sharing your wisdom and mastery, and for gathering this beautiful circle of geniuses.”

“Enette continually blows my mind with her deep love for learning, teaching and leading. She is the ultimate example of an inspired leader – open, vulnerable, strong, the consummate re-framer and mind-messer. Thank you for your deep, pokey questions, and your plethora of ideas. I love hearing your favourite phrase: "I have an idea!" – I've learned to hold onto my "underwear" when I hear that statement! Thank you!”

Nabil Doss,
Vice President - Global Speakers FederationThank you again Enette for the Master Planning Weekend that enabled discovery... Discovery for us not only at an individual level but for us collectively as a group. I think we can definitely say that we all took away something special from the weekend - for some of us something profound; as the timing was right, for others; an invitation to be provoked to think differently and still others a challenge to get going.
Executive Leader,
Retreat ParticipantI went from feeling I had to take on everything myself, which was impossible and overwhelming, to seeing I could let a few things go to another plate, that it was ok to let someone help. I cannot recall every exact word, but at the end of that hour, I felt I understood myself better, understood my reasons for doing what I do more clearly, you helped me see myself in a totally different way. You helped me help myself.
Executive Leader,
Coaching ClientEnette was an effective listener and helped us gain insight into several key areas, including defining our purpose, identifying our areas of strength, understanding any partnership as a transformational investment, and sustaining long-term engagement from our stakeholders. Enette is an incisive thinker and articulate facilitator who I would highly recommend to any organization.
Grant Snider,
Vice Chair - Business Events Industry Coalition of CanadaIt is very important for our successful WPO members take time to reflect on the seven hidden investment accounts. I was appreciative of your focus of the WPO relationships and how to build on our network.Your presentation was a highlight of our WPO retreat.
Rhona Levine Ruben,
Director of Corporate Sponsorship, Women Presidents OrganizationThe VBP Executive Intensive program has provoked lots of personal and organizational insights. Using the VBP tool I have found out precisely the strategic priorities of my organization and have discovered how related partnerships are working and not working for the benefit of us. I am now sharing the methodology with my team and they have been involved too in this process. The VBP has brought me to reflection and action for the better performance of my organization.
José Macías,
Facilitator & Founder, Dialogue in the DarkThe VBP Principles have given our organization the tools to renovate our perspective about partnerships. It has given us the light to distinguish which partnerships are strategic and which we should dissolve so our energy and resources are focused on the most important priorities. It has lead us to leverage our performance, giving better results to our sponsors and beneficiaries.
Carmen Farías,
CEO, Zihuame Mochilla A. C.Our organization has always valued partnerships but has never utilized a formal strategy to evaluate these partnerships and formulate a coherent plan. While conducting the VBP Audit we were able to prioritize the partnerships that contributed most significantly to our client services, leveraging our resources more effectively. The process led us through a coherent action plan guided by mutual values and realistic priorities. Our successful and measurable outcomes have proven the value of VBP for our organization.
George Kurzawa,
Executive Director, Canadian Mental Health Association, Niagara BranchAs a small not for profit charity it is important that we have clear vision and strategic thinking in all areas of our organization. The VBP Audit and the Executive Intensive helps map out what your top priorities are and then use that as a lens when reviewing your current partnerships or analyzing any gaps. Having it mapped out all in one place ensures each department is aware of how our organization's relationships are mapped out and cross wired. It allows us as an organization to work smarter not harder.
