Mastermind Groups: A Bond in Business. Formed in Friendship. | Lucas Kollmann | TEDxWHU

Lucas started his career as one of the youngest Investment Professionals in the Private Equity industry in London and was since his high-school times fascinated by the power of networks. He realised that a majority of professional success as it relates to promotions, job opportunities or entrepreneurial success could be traced back to bonds and relationships between people. New opportunities seem to not just be an abstract concept but a window for advancement that opens when you met the right people in the right context. However, one of his realisations was that many of his peers solely focus on forming weak ties with a large number of people while many neglect the power of friendships that they have already formed. This relates to the concept of "Mastermind Groups", which Lucas will particularly focus on during his talk. Besides his work, Lucas is a passionate entrepreneur, investor in and advisor to start-ups. Together with two friends he formed a pro-bono coaching platform.
