From very early on in my business, I’ve always had an idea developing to build and run a Mastermind program. I wanted to build a program that could offer the attendees inspiration, education, and motivation from those that have achieved incredible feats in their lives and in business outside the industry. These Rockstar speakers would then share what it took to achieve these incredible feats with the attendees then using the learned insights to transfer into their own businesses.
In 2021, that idea came to fruition, and I ran my first ‘MASTERMIND. With Sherrie’
It was one of the most impactful and profound events I’ve run with the attendees learning a range of skills from setting up their financial legacy, running businesses through challenges, how to grow and manage high performing teams, finding what drives and motivates them and more!
Now applications for the 2022 ‘MASTERMIND. With Sherrie’ are now open and I’m super excited to share who this year’s Rockstar keynote speakers are going to be!
If you are looking to gain access to high-level wisdom and strategies to grow your business and build your best life, MASTERMIND. With Sherrie' in 2022 is where you need to be!
