We’re thrilled to announce that Ann Wandishin has won the company’s most prestigious award: the 2026 True Partner Award for the Americas! 

At PXP’26 Orlando, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Darren Zobrist and John Wadsworth kicked off the evening by reading what some of Ann’s own team said about her.

“She listens with intention, and she serves without ever needing recognition,” one Brand Partner said. Another simply called her the heart of their team. John agreed, adding that she “lives the values of Partner.Co. Dream Big. Courage to Lead. Built to Last.” 

Among her other award-winning qualities, Ann shows selfless leadership. She constantly reaches out to other teams and brings them in. She is relentless. She’s such an incredible leader.

To a massive applause, Ann took the stage to receive her award. Holding back tears, Ann reflected on the award. 

“This means more than anything, to have the respect of your peers. It’s the greatest honor.” 

Speaking with Ann later, she reflected on her journey to the stage, and what it took to get there.

“The hardest part of my journey was letting go of the good to say yes to the great. I didn’t know why I was tugged away from my first company — I spent 20+ years there and thrived.  But something wasn’t right, and I knew it,” she said. “I resigned and trusted God that He tugged me out of there for a reason … Partner.Co was the reason. I knew there was more inside of me that needed to be unlocked and that I needed to step out of that comfort zone where I wasn’t thriving anymore and help others so they could soar like never before in this industry.”

Since joining the company, Ann said that her favorite part of Partner.Co is that she gets to be herself. 

“Not only do I get to be myself, but I get to help others to recognize their gifts and walk in their greatness. We’re all called to something higher, to go beyond ourselves and focus on serving and loving others so they can walk in their greatness and say ‘Yes’ to the promptings of their hearts,” she said, adding that this feeling has been enhanced greatly by the sheer authenticity of everyone in the company. 

“Here at Partner.Co, people are themselves, and they truly want to partner with one another so we can help others with health and prosperity. That truly is partnership. To be honest, I didn’t fully believe in the concept of Partnership Marketing when I first got started; I just thought it was a name they chose for the company. Then, happily, I came to discover it really is a partnership … and a beautiful one at that,” she said. 

Looking ahead, Ann is far from done. She said she has a “John Wadsworth-size goal.”

Congrats, Ann!
