I just completed Firneo’s Partner-Led Growth Bootcamp - an 8-week course that provides the playbooks, frameworks, and tools to rapidly build high-impact partner programs. It’s amazing to see how this course has supercharged my partnership efforts and provided me with new ways to identify value in partner programs for my company. I look forward to creating strong 💪🏻 partnerships with the organizations I work alongside to make a positive impact on the global health workforce. #partnerships #healthcare #professionaldevelopment

A few years ago I discovered what I really want to do in my professional life - partnerships. 🤝🏻 I've been lucky enough to encounter amazing partnership professionals during my career (Susan Haigh,💡Dave Ruane, Lauren Johnston, Jason Hulott, SPLP - thank you all!). I learned so much about partnerships during my time at XTM International and Uizard by Miro Labs, but I couldn't find the right partnership course to broaden my knowledge and structure what I already knew. That was until Susan recommended the Firneo course in strategic partnerships conducted by Scott Pollack. And I have to say, there is no better way to use my time before the new professional adventure, as Scott covers not only all important aspects of partnerships but also business principles. 🍒 The cherry on top is that after each module there are interviews with partnership professionals from companies like Amazon, TikTok, Stripe etc. presenting their case studies, challenges and how they handled them. I'm so glad that partnerships are getting ever more attention, and recommend the Firneo course to every partnership professional! Check out the course here:

Being a partnerships professional means you very likely A) have no formal education in Partnerships behind you, B) are considered a Sales person by most C-Suites, and C) are constantly asked by your parents what it is that you do. Taking Firneo’s Mastering Partnerships Strategy class not only validated that I’m not alone in experiencing the above three statements but more importantly, gave me a whole new set of skills so I can continue growing and learning in this wild profession I’ve found myself in. I love partnerships and I love watching them gain traction in our modern working world. If you feel this way too, consider leveling up by taking Scott Pollack’s course.

I wanted to thank you again for leading the Partnership Strategy course and sharing your vast knowledge and experience with us. I thought that this course give me: 1) a really good framework to start building the program 2) good overview on how to avoid the most critical mistakes (like not including your stakeholders etc) 4) how to ask the right questions & critical questions - making sure you don't miss out on the potentially most fruitful partnerships, by going with vanity partnership

I completed several training programs across partnerships, business development, and marketing from 2020-2023 — but Firneo stands out for exceptional program design, quality & depth. Scott speaks from a wealth of impressive experience, makes the course/group experience fun & entertaining in a non-forced way, and remains one of the most helpful, humble and down-to-earth professionals in my network. While the live experience was excellent, I also regularly refer back to the recorded content, which is highly applicable to my day-to-day. If you work in partnerships, you want Scott and Firneo on your team! If you're hesitating about signing up to this, I recommend going for it.

A few years ago I discovered what I really want to do in my professional life - partnerships. 🤝🏻 I've been lucky enough to encounter amazing partnership professionals during my career (Susan Haigh,💡Dave Ruane, Lauren Johnston, Jason Hulott, SPLP - thank you all!). I learned so much about partnerships during my time at XTM International and Uizard by Miro Labs, but I couldn't find the right partnership course to broaden my knowledge and structure what I already knew. That was until Susan recommended the Firneo course in strategic partnerships conducted by Scott Pollack. And I have to say, there is no better way to use my time before the new professional adventure, as Scott covers not only all important aspects of partnerships but also business principles. 🍒 The cherry on top is that after each module there are interviews with partnership professionals from companies like Amazon, TikTok, Stripe etc. presenting their case studies, challenges and how they handled them. I'm so glad that partnerships are getting ever more attention, and recommend the Firneo course to every partnership professional! Check out the course here:

Being a partnerships professional means you very likely A) have no formal education in Partnerships behind you, B) are considered a Sales person by most C-Suites, and C) are constantly asked by your parents what it is that you do. Taking Firneo’s Mastering Partnerships Strategy class not only validated that I’m not alone in experiencing the above three statements but more importantly, gave me a whole new set of skills so I can continue growing and learning in this wild profession I’ve found myself in. I love partnerships and I love watching them gain traction in our modern working world. If you feel this way too, consider leveling up by taking Scott Pollack’s course.

I thought that this course give me: 1) a really good framework to start building the program 2) good overview on how to avoid the most critical mistakes (like not including your stakeholders etc) 4) how to ask the right questions & critical questions - making sure you don't miss out on the potentially most fruitful partnerships, by going with vanity partnership

I completed several training programs across partnerships, business development, and marketing from 2020-2023 — but Firneo stands out for exceptional program design, quality & depth. Scott speaks from a wealth of impressive experience, makes the course/group experience fun & entertaining in a non-forced way, and remains one of the most helpful, humble and down-to-earth professionals in my network. While the live experience was excellent, I also regularly refer back to the recorded content, which is highly applicable to my day-to-day.
