“As a self-professed “Type A” personality, I have historically been skittish about the possibilities of partnering in business. However, having witnessed the synergy (and results) of Summer Alexander and Laura Knights, I was intrigued by their seminar “Power & Profit in Partnership.” I was impressed by the initial pre-work in the Core Values Assessment, which not only provided insight into the kind of partner who would most compliment my work style, but also provided an introspective view of my values, attributes and opportunities. The benefits of partnership section of the workshop really put things into perspective for me. Many thanks Savvy Solopreneurs!"

“The Power and Profit in Partnership workshop was a high quality workshop. It was organized with structured content and fantastic marketing materials. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and as someone who had not previously considered a partner, I've been converted. The pace was perfect and the facilitators, Laura and Summer, compliment eachother very well. The Core Values Assessment helped me to pinpoint my strengths and those areas where I might struggle. This information will help me to identify and secure the right partner for my business. It was a very interesting workshop, and I will definitely be able to use the knowledge obtained in the real world."
