World-Changing Partnerships: Your Invitation
Mary Kurek

As a consultant, investor, founder, diplomat, or NGO leader, you are always looking for partners to help fill business gaps, solve problems, and advance special interests. We are all resources - human pieces of a gigantic puzzle that breathes as we do. It's the fast gulping breath of excitement around new innovations that solve big problems. It's the can't-catch-your-breath moment when meeting a like-minded person and realizing how extraordinary is this rare find. And, it's the long deep breath of relief when anxiety departs from a crisis, leaving behind exhaustion and gratitude.
"Partners are the resources that help us breathe through situations."
A world-changing partnership is one that has the power to make a difference in the world. For example, my partners and I arranged for a boat with a motor to be purchased for a desperately poor island in Malawi to facilitate quicker transportation of patients to the hospital, ultimately saving lives. It took two diplomats, one NGO, four Rotary Clubs, and me, altogether spanning three continents to bring that long deep breath of relief. When a cyclone hit and devastated the area with floods, the boat remained and served to move life-saving supplies to those in need. That's the power of world-changing partnerships.
Over the last twelve months, I've developed relationships with new clients and partners in health technology, logistics technology, education innovations, funding opportunities, mining, and business development. I've worked with consultants in health innovation, trade and commerce, clean water initiatives, and enterprise events. I've also worked with government officials and diplomatic representatives around the globe to explore solutions to economic development concerns. My network is purposefully diverse, and my process is comfortable and targeted.
As a business developer, I believe in finding potential partners who have something the other person needs and who are on board to make a difference in the world. I'm inviting you to explore business development as a way of building world-changing partnerships for yourself and others. Consider defining your own partnership opportunity; one that requires you to become global and expand your network.
If you're interested in learning more, check out this link to my training on business development. It is a course on how I conduct my own consultancy. And, if you know of a founder with an innovative product or service or a global stakeholder who is looking for a particular solution, feel free to send them my way.? Better yet, answer yes to this invitation: become a colleague of mine, and let’s work on it together.
This is how world-changing partnerships can form. Let's make a difference!
