Presenter - Julia Worthington of Amber Consulting
Topic - Strategic partnerships and how to create a win-win!
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS ? HOW TO CREATE A WIN-WIN FOR ALL PARTIES.
Whether you work in B2B, B2C or 3rd sector, forming strategic partnerships are critical to success when developing your Business or Charity funding streams.
Regardless of our size or scale, there are local small charities and 3rd sector organisations that will always benefit from business insight and support. But strategic partnerships are not one way. We know from our own experience in supporting our member charities that when we do so we get real benefits; connection, collaboration, idea sharing, exercise, fresh air, and of course knowing we are helping many local real families that really need the support of that charity or community group.
In this educational seminar you will learn creative and innovative ?Win-Win? ways to create good, find that perfect partner aligned to your ethos, and create boundless opportunities.
Strategic partnerships ? learn from experience
- Who did Coca Cola work with to help them reduce their use of natural resources?
- How did Network Rail tackle the challenging issue of suicide on the Railways?
- Who did Boo Hoo work with to sell more T-shirts in lockdown?
The answer to all these questions?
They are strategic partnerships between a profit-making business and a not-for-profit organisation. Can you guess the charity partners?
To find out the answers and what they did then you need to come and join us at the event!
Strategic partnerships ? how do I make a choice?
Business/charity partnerships are not soft, fluffy, nice to have alliances, they make sound business sense to both parties and you don?t need to be a multi-national to benefit.
They can help with staff retention, resource usage, suicide prevention, employee volunteering, skills improvement, diversity, and inclusion!
And that is just what it does for the business.
In this seminar Julia will help you think about what are your strategic challenges are, and which UK based charity could help you overcome them?
So come and join Julia Worthington of Amber Consulting for Fundraisers, as she helps you discover how having a well planned and strategic charity partnerships can increase profit, increase staff motivation and bring you new customers too.
Strategic partnerships ? there is a partner for everyone
You may not be the partner for Coca Cola, or Network Rail ? but from School PTA?s to local community groups, to local Hospices there will be a willing group of people doing great good in their communities where Strategic partnerships can be created.

Topic - The Street Smart MBA
The Street Smart MBA - mastering business acumen without going to school
The Street Smart MBA by Ian Fishwick is a book crammed full of practical tips which Ian has used in his very successful business career and has put together into a very readable book.
The sub-title is mastering business acumen without going to school!
Ian Fishwick is a 3x winner of UK CEO of the year and reported increased profits for 29 consecutive years between 1990 and 2018 despite a number of recessions and periods of economic uncertainty. As we hopefully enter the post Covid-19 world there has never been a better time to go back to business fundamentals and to rebuild our economy and our business communities.
With 13 chapters and over 100 individual stories / lessons there are far too many tips to be covered in a single McKellens Masterclass session. But we will look at several of the things which Ian used. At the end of every story Ian has a succinct point which he prefaces with?my message is simple....
In this session we will look at:
- Cash is King - the very first chapter of Ian?s book
- Selling profitably
- Operational advice
- Product development
- Accounting and finance

How do you make the ?Best of Both Worlds??
- You get back what you give out ? how to be the ?perfect guest? ? Zettiquette (online etiquette)
- Exploring the differences between the two platforms ? and the barriers you may need to overcome?
- Tips on visual aids and attention grabbers ? both online and F2F
- Sharing Tools and Tips on how to hold your audience?s attention both online and F2F.
- Keeping it concise and confident ? Turn Up, Speak Up, Shut Up!
Having been an associate of the Professional Speaker?s Assoc. for many years and with 20 years business skills training experience, Sonya uses her knowledge and experience to deliver empathetic and encouraging presentation/public speaking programmes and coaching sessions.
