Testimonials

This masterclass was absolutely incredible. Denise was able to delve deep into very comprehensive material but also allow for time for break-out rooms and for us to put into practice what we had learned and give each other feedback. The pacing of the class never felt rushed, but equally there was plenty of material to sink our teeth into. The four sessions were loaded with practical and pragmatic tips and approaches to help secure a corporate partner. There were also plenty of resources and materials provided throughout. I couldn't recommend this masterclass enough! Hugo Rowsome, SciFest

I worked with Denise for a year to grow and develop Save the Rhino International's Corporate Partnerships portfolio. Having only just started in my role and being fairly new to the world of partnerships, Denise's support was crucial in helping me grow and develop the necessary skills as a Corporate Partnerships Manager. Our momentum sessions covered everything from identifying key business sectors that align with our Charities mission to developing and pitching ideas to company CEOs, equipping me with the skills, knowledge and confidence to approach prospects and secure new strategic partnerships, further raising funds and awareness for rhino conservation. - D. Moore, Partnerships Manager Save the Rhino International 

My current role is my first experience of working in both corporate partnerships and fundraising. Denise was pivotal in setting the foundations of my knowledge, processes and understanding of this incredibly challenging, fluid landscape. Denise was able to outline basic principles and procedures to guide me in my future decision making, helping me to better understand my role and how best to approach this new challenge. She recommended fantastic literature to support my career growth and several training opportunities which have been invaluable to my continued professional development. I really feel Denise’s input so early on has helped me to avoid many pitfalls and bad habits - I would highly recommend working with her. - D. Brown Corporate Partnerships Assistant - Blue Cross for Pets
