Every month I get inspiring comments from workshop participants, newsletter subscribers and
loyal ezinearticle readers. Many explain how Partnering has helped them achieve personal or
professional goals.
The Question?
However, I often am asked to give people examples of how they can use the Partnering process to
become more successful. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are 22 ways people have applied the
Partnering concepts. The first eleven examples are what I refer to as “Reciprocal Partnering” in
that Partner is working on their own personal objective. These are great testimonials where
Partners have supported and encouraged each other to grow and achieve.
One thru eleven.
1) Watch less TV and volunteer my time
2) Stop smoking and exercise more
3) Spend more time with family and learn to cook
4) Buy a new car and improve PC skills
5) Take up golf (I don’t know why) and save more money
6) Improve communication skills and home improvements
7) Start my own business and read more books
8) Climb a mountain and improve listening skills
9) Increase cold calls and read more to my children
10) Run a marathon and write my book
11) Develop a web site and lose weight
Twelve thru twenty-two.
The following eleven examples are what I call “Collaborative Partnering.” In these Partnering
relationships, both partners are striving to accomplish the same thing. However, they probably are
taking advantage of each others strengths and abilities.
12) Get our finances in order
13) Spend more time together
14) Create a healthier lifestyle
15) Plan a family vacation
16) Save for a special event
17) Learn how to scuba dive
18) Adopt a charitable cause
19) Build our business
20) Drive around the country
21) Adopt a child
22) Hike in the rain forest
These “22 Ways To Partner” illustrate the various methods people have applied the Partnering
Process. The possibilities are endless, but I wanted to share some real world applications that
people have used.
Is Partnering just for two?
The process has successfully been applied in small groups. Here is a story from Mike in California
that demonstrates how Partnering can help three people reach their common goal. Mike and his
two friends, Matt and Kenny, decided they wanted to participate in a triathlon. Each brought a
different strength and skill to the Partnership.In a triathlon, athletes compete in three segments of
a timed event. Just in case you are interested, they are: A 1500 meter swim, 40KM road cycling
race, and a 10KM run to wrap things up. Each of the three men in this story brought a different
strength to the “team.” Mike is a very strong swimmer, Matt is the runner, and Kenny excels at
biking. They gave each other pointers to improve their individual performance and provided
encouragement and support to each other throughout the training program. All three completed
the event with respectable times and Kenny finished in just over 2 hours and 32 minutes.

an email with an example of a successful Partnering relationship. Help others
