🎓 This month our students are onto Module 2: Assets Inventory. This is a critical piece of work that guides students through the process of cataloguing their organisations’ assets and then placing a dollar MARKET value on them. If you’re approaching a company with a ‘partnership’ offer (rather than an “ask”, then the word partnership implies mutual benefit. What precisely do you have to offer and what is the VALUE of that offer? If you don’t know how will you get past the first meeting! This is the point of doing the Asset Inventory. 🌟 A vital piece of work! Read about this in our blog here: https://lnkd.in/gBByGNiy

Going around in circles is great fun - if you’re a dog! 🐕 But if you have an important Vision and Mission to achieve (and what changemaker doesn’t?) then knowing the direction you’re going in, is crucial. One of the things we’ve noticed from working with hundreds of non-profits is that they don’t have a crystal clear Intention of what they want to achieve from their corporate partners. Cash, of course, but what else? The best corporate partner is one that helps drive your priority strategies to achieve your Mission & Vision. A partner that unlocks resources that are vital to those strategies. If all you want from corporate partners is cash, you’re not thinking big enough, or creatively enough. To identify these kinds of partners, the first step is to draft a Corporate Partnerships Intention. We’ve teamed up with Fundraising Institute Australia to deliver an interactive online workshop that will help you craft your Intention. ✨ To find out more and register visit: https://lnkd.in/gqJXywn6

Last month, our students were busy doing their SWOTA. The SWOTA is our take on a good ol’ SWOT analysis but the difference lies in the A – which stands for ACTION! A SWOT Analysis can often become a tick-the-box exercise. That all-important ACTION (a plan for distinguishing what’s going to Maximise the Strengths and Opportunities and Minimise the Weaknesses & Threats) ensures that the SWOT is a living, breathing document that is updated as Actions are completed.

1 in 8 men will experience depression. 7 out of 9 daily suicides are men. 25% of men won’t seek help. Yet, men with a solid and structured support system are 50% less likely to attempt suicide. Our 2024 BePartnerReady.com® student The Men's Table is providing this support system by creating a safe place to share and be heard in a confidential and non-judgemental environment, creating a greater sense of belonging, camaraderie and connection. After attending a MEN'S TABLE, 81% said there were positive ripples through their relationships. 68% reported a benefit to their mental health and wellbeing and 76% of men said they didn’t feel they had to deal with it all by themselves. The regular practice of talking about feelings makes it easier to ask for help when it's needed. Find out more here: https://themenstable.org/
