After making a career leap into #partnerships, I found myself trying to fly while building the plane (yikes!). 👩✈️ 🛫 I was fortunate enough to be supported to participate in the Certified Partnerships Professional program with Firneo and it has been a game changer for me and how I understand the ecosystem of partnerships. If you're interested in applying, send me a DM! Happy to chat and provide a little support along your journey 💸

Partnerships and BD isn't something I learned in school - at least not directly. I feel lucky that I had some great experiences and managers early on in my career that allowed me to learn on the job. It's not always easy to do so, especially if you're breaking into a new role like partnerships or trying to grow into a leader. Firneo offers some great opportunities to learn, develop and network. Highly recommend checking this out!

If you tripped and fell into partnerships (like me and every other partnerships person), you're not alone. This program will give you the framework and tools you need to succeed in this career, especially if you haven't received any partnerships specific training yet. I went thru the first cohort and speaking from experience... this was a game changer for me. Sign up and tell Scott Pollack I sent you!

Partnership skills are needed everywhere and in almost every role of every organization. Working in data and labor analytics, I am constantly conducting change management. To successfully push through long-lasting changes requires building strong partnerships substantiated by both quantifiable and perceived values. The CPP program provided the invaluable thought process, repeatable framework, concrete terminology, and thriving community to assist me in doing what I do.

I'm excited to share one of my best investments of the year - a learning opportunity for myself! Before Christmas, I completed the Certified Partnerships Professional program created by Firneo and the super Scott Pollack! It has been an awesome journey. I was thrilled to pick up a structuralized way to think of partnerships, gain new perspectives from industry experts and, most importantly, get to know and learn from the amazing crew from all over the world! The return on investment in the program is much more than a certificate and actionable partnership framework. As noted by many cohort members, a big part of the learning was knowing that I'm not alone and being with people who share the same challenges, mindsets and experiences as me. I definitely recommend the program to those interested in exploring partnership roles and who have been working in the partnership space. Let's all learn and grow together! #partnerships #work #careerdevelopment #investment

For anyone who is is considering in obtaining this certification: this is a great opportunity for someone newer in this position where you are building out a partner program at your company, OR, just as suitable for a more seasoned partnership professional looking for opportunities to network with other similar folks and their lessons learned throughout the process. You'll come away with a framework and applications you can use right away throughout the 8-week program! Plus, the modules/live learning are in a digestible format.

I joined the Firneo CPP program for the Fall 2022 cohort! I am still fresh in my position (about 12-months) and came into this partnership role direct from a BDE role. The new role at my company is to build out a rich partner ecosystem within our space. The CPP program allows me to follow a general framework while building out this program, while remembering that not every partnership is "out of the box." If you're interested in networking with likeminded individuals in roles like yours, listening to real life partnership challenges at large organizations, and tackling potential partnership obstacle use cases, this is a great hands on approach to all things partnerships! We're all working to be the Kevin Bacon's in our respective industries!

Do you know Scott Pollack? I do. Scott has been teaching classes on business development and partnerships for over 20 years. His experience is impeccable, working as a partnerships executive at American Express and WeWork. Aside from being an incredible Partner professional, he is a passionate teacher. He loves to share all of his learnings with all who are diving into partnerships for the first time. His program at Firneo is world class. On top of it all he is a top notch human being. Selfless. Kind. Genuine. If you're new to partnerships, or if you're looking for some formal guidance, I cannot recommend the Firneo program more. And lucky for you, one is about to start. If you don't know Scott, you should. #partnerships #teaching #businessdevelopment

Partnership skills are needed everywhere and in almost every role of every organization. Working in data and labor analytics, I am constantly conducting change management. To successfully push through long-lasting changes requires building strong partnerships substantiated by both quantifiable and perceived values. The CPP program provided the invaluable thought process, repeatable framework, concrete terminology, and thriving community to assist me in doing what I do.

I'm excited to share one of my best investments of the year - a learning opportunity for myself! Before Christmas, I completed the Certified Partnerships Professional program created by Firneo and the super Scott Pollack! It has been an awesome journey. I was thrilled to pick up a structuralized way to think of partnerships, gain new perspectives from industry experts and, most importantly, get to know and learn from the amazing crew from all over the world! The return on investment in the program is much more than a certificate and actionable partnership framework. As noted by many cohort members, a big part of the learning was knowing that I'm not alone and being with people who share the same challenges, mindsets and experiences as me. I definitely recommend the program to those interested in exploring partnership roles and who have been working in the partnership space. Let's all learn and grow together! #partnerships #work #careerdevelopment #investment

LOVED this program with you, Scott Pollack. For anyone who is is considering in obtaining this certification: this is a great opportunity for someone newer in this position where you are building out a partner program at your company, OR, just as suitable for a more seasoned partnership professional looking for opportunities to network with other similar folks and their lessons learned throughout the process. You'll come away with a framework and applications you can use right away throughout the 8-week program! Plus, the modules/live learning are in a digestible format. PS - In our respective industries and in our partnership role, we ARE the Kevin Bacon's!

I joined the Firneo CPP program for the Fall 2022 cohort! I am still fresh in my position (about 12-months) and came into this partnership role direct from a BDE role. The new role at my company is to build out a rich partner ecosystem within our space. The CPP program allows me to follow a general framework while building out this program, while remembering that not every partnership is "out of the box." If you're interested in networking with likeminded individuals in roles like yours, listening to real life partnership challenges at large organizations, and tackling potential partnership obstacle use cases, this is a great hands on approach to all things partnerships! We're all working to be the Kevin Bacon's in our respective industries!

“An investment in self-development pays the highest dividends.” The diversity of perspectives and the worksheets you can leverage for the future are the cherries on top of a program that guides you to thought-provoking insights, changes in behaviors, and validation of so much you do. Firneo does a great job providing educational videos, a fun case study, expert insights, and an array of people you learn from, bond with, and create a network for your future.

Not only is he experienced, knowledgeable and talented, but he truly cares about every person involved. Thank you, Scott, for creating this program and all that you do every day to help partnership professionals excel (and thrive) in their careers!

Do you know Scott Pollack? I do. Scott has been teaching classes on business development and partnerships for over 20 years. His experience is impeccable, working as a partnerships executive at American Express and WeWork. Aside from being an incredible Partner professional, he is a passionate teacher. He loves to share all of his learnings with all who are diving into partnerships for the first time. His program at Firneo is world class. On top of it all he is a top notch human being. Selfless. Kind. Genuine. If you're new to partnerships, or if you're looking for some formal guidance, I cannot recommend the Firneo program more. And lucky for you, one is about to start. If you don't know Scott, you should. #partnerships #teaching #businessdevelopment
