• I run Pivot to Partnerships, a 4-week cohort-based course designed to help professionals from all backgrounds successfully transition into partnerships roles. Through live sessions, practical projects, and frameworks I’ve built as a partnerships leader, I teach students how to:
• Understand what partnerships actually is (and isn’t)
• Reframe their past experience into a partner-ready narrative
• Optimize their resumes and LinkedIn profiles for partnerships roles
• Decode job descriptions and spot red flags in the hiring process
• Build interview stories, scripts, and confidence to land the role
• Hosted on the Partnership Mastermind Marketplace, the course combines self-paced content with weekly live workshops, hot-seat coaching, and community support. Graduates walk away with a clear pivot plan, a revamped job search toolkit, and the confidence to stand out in a function with high demand and a tiny talent pool.
