Educators Platform
MASTERMINDS
What is a Mastermind?
Masterminds are a unique medium by which a group of individuals gathers and shares challenges and ideas with the goal of individual and collective growth and development. Used in a variety of business and other forums, Masterminds offer a tool to get attendees to levels of awareness and understanding that they otherwise would not be able to achieve individually. At Educators Platform, we pair a content expert together with a group of 12 or fewer dental hygiene educators across a wide range of topics. Sessions are individualized to group attendee needs and interests.
