Masterminding: An Alternative Way to Share Knowledge

Session Description

Although Mastermind groups are nothing new, many talent development professionals are just discovering how to use this powerful collaboration tool to link arms and tackle challenges. Concepts formalized by Napoleon Hill in the 1920s are inspiring today’s business leaders to use mastermind concepts to expand networks, empower teams, and break down traditional workplace silos.

This session will educate attendees on basic mastermind concepts and introduce them to using a mastermind as a way of sharing knowledge. It will also provide them with a blueprint for creating a mastermind group in their workplace or for a use of their own.
