Facilitated peer-group mentoring Mastermind groups for documentation managers and leaders
There’s an opportunity for a few more leaders of UK documentation teams to join the peer-group mentoring Mastermind group that we facilitate.
The quarterly face-to-face meetings have been running for a year now, with the group providing advice and assistance, under the Chatham House Rule, to fellow Documentation Managers seeking to resolve an issue they have been struggling with. It’s a process of learning and developing skills through the medium of shared experience: something from “real-life” and valuable to everyone in the meeting.
The next session will be free of charge, and will be held in Hammersmith, west London (date TBA – probably late May/early June). Other events have either been free of charge or at a notional charge to cover teas and coffees.
