Partnership Essentials

Presented by: Phill Butler | visionSynergy

This email-based video series is an introduction to ten, field-tested partnership principles. Each lesson includes a brief introduction to the principle, a short video by Phill Butler, several reflection/discussion questions, and additional resources for further study. This video series was initially recorded in 2016 at BlueMed. While the principles are presented in the context of a partnership, they are universally applicable to alliances, coalitions, networks, and other collaborative efforts. The email series contains 10 lessons covering about 40 minutes of video content. This course has many insights to offer. As such, we suggest taking the time to discuss what you learn with colleagues and fellow partners.
