Your safety is our #1 priority. Due to Covid-19, all Talent Mastermind sessions are currently virtual events, hosted through Zoom Meeting, Google Meet/Google Hangout, or other online tools.
We love to help successful freelancers take their businesses to the next level on Upwork and achieve even more than they thought possible.
Surrounding yourself with other like-minded, success-oriented people is one way to do that — that’s why we created Talent Masterminds, small peer-group meetings for top talent where you can share experiences and expertise and solve your freelancing challenges.
Attendees mentor each other, brainstorm together, and hold each other accountable. Mastermind sessions are exclusively for talent who have attained Top Rated Plus or Expert-Vetted status on Upwork who are passionate about growing their business.
We’ve heard from many past attendees that they often stay in touch and continue to share their experiences and wisdom with one another.
Note:
Talent Masterminds are not an official Upwork event. Upwork does not endorse and is not responsible for any of the views expressed during these sessions.
